From Build to Booked: How This Keops Log Cabin Became a One-of-a-Kind Retreat

InsightsBlog

9 Jan

One of the most rewarding parts of what we do at Keops is seeing a cabin truly come to life after the assembly is complete. When a customer gets back in touch just a month or so later, fully furnished, decorated, and already in use, that’s when you know the space is doing exactly what it was designed for.

This is exactly the case with Red Dog Retreat, a beautifully considered two-bedroom log cabin mobile home holiday let, now open and welcoming guests in a truly unique setting.

And best of all? The customer, “loves it!”

The Cabin: Designed Around Views, Comfort & Calm

This two-bedroom Keops log cabin mobile home was carefully designed to maximise the breathtaking mountain views, with both bedrooms and the main living space positioned to take full advantage of the landscape.

The result is a cabin that feels calm, private and deeply connected to its surroundings, the kind of space that instantly helps you slow down.

Inside, the layout offers:

Sleeping for up to four guests (one king-size bed, one double)
A light-filled open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining area
A log burner with a plentiful supply of the owner’s own wood
Bathroom with shower
Smart TV, Bluetooth speaker and internet access throughout
Key-safe check-in for a relaxed, contact-free arrival

It’s cosy without feeling cramped, practical without losing charm, a perfect example of how log cabin accommodation can feel both luxurious and welcoming.

A Log Cabin Built With Dogs in Mind

What truly sets this cabin apart is how thoughtfully it has been designed for four-legged guests, without compromising on comfort for their humans.

Red Dog Retreat offers:

Outdoor dog shower
Towels, blankets and bowls provided
Welcome treats
Dogs welcome on furniture and beds
Crate available, with the option to safely leave dogs for short periods
Additional freezer space for raw feeders
No additional charges for dogs

Privacy and safety were key priorities, with extensive fencing throughout the site, including:

6ft perimeter fencing
Closed-board fencing along the road and shared boundaries
Double buffer fencing where needed
A fully fenced garden area directly outside the cabin
Additional fenced woodland space
Reinforced deer fencing backing onto forestry

This level of planning shows just how adaptable a Keops log cabin build can be when designed around a specific purpose.

Outside Space & Woodland Escape

The outdoor areas are just as impressive as the interior.

Guests have access to:

Parking for two cars
A covered outdoor seating area
Fire pit and gas BBQ
“The Cow Shed” for bike storage, wood storage and additional freezer space
Uninterrupted views, with no overlooking or neighbouring properties

Next to the cabin sits a separate fenced woodland area of approximately half an acre, giving both guests and dogs space to explore, unwind and enjoy the surroundings in complete privacy.

Quality That Lasts, And Shows

All plumbing, electrics, heating, kitchen and bathroom installations were completed by our recommended installer Simon, whose expertise ensured everything works seamlessly and to a high standard.

Built from PEFC-certified Northern Scandinavian pine, this cabin offers:

Excellent natural insulation
Year-round comfort
Long-term durability
A warm, authentic Scandinavian feel

It’s a great example of how wooden log cabins can be both beautiful and practical, ideal for residential use, holiday lets, or specialist accommodation.

From Cabin Build to Successful Holiday Let

Seeing this cabin fully finished, styled and now actively welcoming guests is exactly why we do what we do. It’s proof that a Keops cabin isn’t just a building, it’s a space that can support a business, create memories, and offer genuine escape.
