Getting deeper than just photographic composition and wonderful exposure, Mike hints at why I prefer #1. The long leading line evokes more feeling of longing for eventual entry to the warmth and conviviality of the cabin; the afmiliar path but long walk to get there - #1 is telling me a story.
Maybe I'm just feeling this endless winter as February comes to a close, but I REALLY want to feel sun-warmth on my face. #1 strikes me emotionally more than #2 does - and that's why many of us do this, isn't it?
