toasty

Like beside embers

Toasty means pleasantly warm, with a connotation of coziness: The fire made the cabin nice and toasty.

It suggests warmth that's comfortable rather than excessive—the temperature of being wrapped in a blanket or sitting near a hearth.

The word is informal and often affectionate in tone.
