As you look out over Lake Windermere from the Love Shack, it’s hard to imagine that this was once where a rustic log cabin once sat.  Owners Karen & Adam found this incredible spot and had the vision to create a comfortable and sustainable home, blending bespoke pieces with antiques and curios to create an eclectic yet aesthetic woodland retreat.  The eco-credentials also add to their achievement in creating a dream holiday home, with low-energy lighting, environmentaly-friendly products, a unique moss roof, and use of reclaimed timber to create a space that is effortlessly sympathetic with its environment.

This is very much a couple’s retreat, sleeping two in a king-size bed, with modern design touches such as an entertainment system including iPod dock and Sky TV, japanese-style square bath tub and French doors leading out to a large elevated deck to really take advantage of those unbeatable views. The house also has a detached garden studio with a record player and vinyl collection – a perfect place to unwind and contemplate the natural surroundings.
