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.
