From Dream to Reality: How 3 Log Cabins Transformed a UK Property

At Timber Building Specialists, we love turning visions into reality – and this project was no exception. When a client in the UK wanted to add two luxury Airbnb lodges and a log cabin garage to their property, we delivered. Here’s how we created three stunning, functional log cabins that blend beauty, durability, and practicality.

 



The Brief: Two Airbnb Lodges & A Log Cabin Garage

Our client had big plans:
 Two 5.5m x 3m Airbnb lodges – cosy, insulated, and stylish
 One 5m x 3m log cabin garage – sturdy and weatherproof
 Premium finishes  anthracite doors, windows, and roofing for a sleek look

With 95mm logs for the lodges and 70mm logs for the garage, these weren’t just cabins – they were built to last.

 


The Build: Precision, Quality & Smart Design

1. The Airbnb Log Cabin Lodges – Luxury Meets Comfort

  • 95mm interlocking logs for superior insulation and durability
  • 28mm floors with 100mm insulation for warmth underfoot
  • 50mm roof insulation to keep guests comfortable year-round
  • 1.5m decking area with stylish posts for outdoor relaxation
  • Pre-painted anthracite doors and windows – low-maintenance and elegant

These lodges weren’t just built; they were engineered for guest comfort – perfect for holiday rentals, glamping, or even a garden office.

2. The Log Cabin Garage – Practical & Stylish

  • 70mm logs for strength and weather resistance
  • Anthracite metal profile roofing – durable and low-maintenance
  • Pre-painted anthracite doors to match the lodges
  • No flooring (as requested) for flexible storage use

This wasn’t just a garage – it was a multi-purpose space that could also work as a workshop, gym, or garden storage solution.

 



Why This Project Worked So Well

 Smart Material Choices – Thicker logs, high-grade insulation, and pre-painted finishes for longevity.
 Versatile Designs – Lodges for income, a garage for practicality.
 Aesthetic Consistency – Matching anthracite windows, doors, and roofing tied everything together.
 Quick Turnaround – Efficient construction without compromising quality.
