After seeing a recent fireplace post, I thought it would be fun to see photos of cabin fireplaces. So, I'll start with ours.
Our fireplace is outside in a pavilion (we don't yet have a cabin). It was built from the ground up (without using a premade box) and faced with granite from a local quarry. It burns great, and we absolutely love cranking it up. There is just something wonderful about a wood-burning fireplace in the mountains!

Here is another photo of our fireplace, showing the whole fireplace before the pavilion was built.

Now that is a fireplace.  Look nice. Real stone? Native stuff?

Here is ours.
A 42 inch zero clearance fireplace that retails for $1100 we got for $300 on Craigslist. The guy took it out to put in a pellet stove his wife wanted. It had never had a single fire built in it.
My wife and I did the stone work ourselves. First time and it was a bit stressful running it from floor to ceiling but we made it. 
Searched high and low for something we liked for hearthstone. Finally found some sandstone pavers at Home Depot we used to make a hearthstone we think looks great.
Found a guy that had a stack of 3 inch walnut slabs he was going to burn and got one from him for the mantel.
We just hung our "over the fireplace painting" on it last week. Haven't got a picture of that yet.

I am just about to start designing our woodstove/fireplace. I would love to see a few more ideas. Definitely going to have a rock surround. Not sure what to do on the base??

It maybe simply but that's what we wanted big black tiles. Easy to clean. Chrome stove legs, and handle for a little shine

I think my little 600sf place would spontaneously combust with that kind of power!

GREAT THREAD!!!
I am sooooo jealous of these fireplaces. They are beautiful. We don't have an indoor fireplace (no room for one). The outdoor fireplaces are beautiful too. I hadn't thought of that. Bob will kill me if I show him this thread and "suggest" we put in a beautiful outdoor fireplace. We do have a little outdoor firepit, but it is nothing like these. WOW!!!
Keep the photos coming!!!!

Great photos- it's almost enough to make me start wishing for winter. (GASP!) We have a wood stove. Hubby built the hearth with rocks from our property. We set the stove with enough clearance that we didn't need to protect the walls. We thought we might want metal or rock behind it for heat but this sucker pumps out so much heat that we're sometimes too hot, especially in the loft!

Yes, the stone is granite, not the fancy kind but the kind they make gravel from or line ditches with. I still think it is pretty, and it gave the rustic look we wanted. The granite came from 2 quarries in north Georgia.
I love the wood burning stove. When we finally have our cabin, we will definitely be putting one in.

MJW: Y'all did a beautiful job on your fireplace! Question: What (if anything) did you put on your walls? We have white pine in our shed, and I was wondering what to put on it - I like the natural color of it.
Don't forget to post a photo showing the painting over the fireplace!

I have been planning our future cabin on there and all sorts of fun things to go with it - such as fireplaces, garden ideas, treehouses, decorating ideas. It is a great way to save in one place photos and information you find on the web. Before that, I was trying to save them in files on my computer. That was a mess.
As trollbridge also recommended, I like to brouse houzz, too.
