After a long week of work, we deserve a nice and quiet place to escape. How about this tiny cabin?
We love log cabins. They are durable and they are a wonderful depiction of a time long gone and life more natural.
You don’t necessarily have to make your city home into a log cabin, but it would be a good idea to invest in one. This way, you can rekindle a classic family tradition and take the kids camping in the summer!

Of course, if you need some “overflow accommodation” at your place, this log cabin could also be the solution. It would work just as well as a simple weekend retreat if you have a country property that requires some accommodation.
Working from home? This can be your home office to keep you from all the distractions. Whether you’ll use it as a personal retreat, or an extra guest room, this is a perfect project to create personal space right in your backyard.
