Luxury cabins in the wild
Not too hard, not too soft, not too warm, nor too cool; here lie homes that live and die by the Goldilocks principles.
To take up residence in a shelter crafted from timber is to cradle in the soothing arms of Mother Nature. Whether settled beneath a canopy of swishing trees or on a white sand beach, salt lacing the breeze like a frozen margarita, cabin life allows the elements to linger on every sense. No longer are cabins rough to the touch and cold underfoot but, quite rightly, the magical dwellings of storybooks.
At these luxury hideouts, cloud-soft linens dress king-size beds and open fires crackle and roar, filling air with the sweet scent of toasted s’mores. This collection brings together the infinite possibilities of cabin life; from eccentric artist studios to woodcutter’s lairs and log cabins nestled at the foothills of mountains. On your next escape, try surrendering to the elements and see what magic comes knocking at the door…
