🌲 Why Choose a One Bedroom Log Cabin?

A one-bedroom cabin is ideal for:

  • Permanent living: With proper insulation and high-quality joinery, these cabins are warm, airtight, and energy-efficient year-round.
  • Granny flats or family extensions: Give loved ones a comfortable, independent space while staying close to home.
  • Holiday homes or Airbnbs: An affordable, fast-build investment for tourism or short-term rentals across Ireland.
  • Garden offices or studios: Work in peace, surrounded by nature.
  • Starter homes: Perfect for singles or couples who want to build smart, not big.

Each cabin is designed for comfort, style, and longevity — built to handle the Irish rain, wind, and humidity with the same resilience as any conventional home.

⚒️ Built for Life — and Built to Last

Every cabin we build follows strict standards for quality and durability. The structure is assembled using precision-cut interlocking logs, ensuring a tight fit that naturally resists wind and moisture.

Our cabins are built on concrete or timber foundations, depending on your site, and we provide full advice on preparing your base to prevent water retention or ground movement — two key factors in Ireland’s soil conditions.

We also recommend to treat all exposed wood with high-quality stains and sealants, ensuring long-term resistance against rain, UV rays, and insects.

The result: a cabin that feels solid, stays dry, and looks beautiful for decades.

🌧️ Designed for the Irish Climate

Let’s face it — Ireland’s weather isn’t always kind to buildings. That’s why our cabins are specifically engineered for Irish conditions.

  • Wind Resistance: Strong wall profiles and braced frames resist coastal gusts.
  • Rain Protection: Deep roof overhangs and integrated gutters keep walls dry.
  • Temperature Control: Insulated walls retain heat in winter and stay cool in summer.
  • Moisture Management: Breathable membranes and treated foundations prevent dampness and mould.

We’ve installed hundreds of log cabins across Ireland — from Carlow to Donegal — and every one of them is living proof that with the right materials and construction, wood thrives even in the Irish climate.

🏡 A Smart Investment for Modern Living

With property prices in Ireland continuing to rise, one-bedroom log cabins offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional housing.

Here’s why:

  • Affordable: Starting from just €26,800, you can own a complete home for a fraction of the cost of brick or block construction.
  • Quick to build: Most one-bedroom cabins can be built and finished in a matter of weeks.
  • Energy-efficient: Timber naturally regulates temperature, reducing heating costs.
  • Eco-friendly: Sustainably sourced spruce stores carbon rather than producing it — making your cabin part of the climate solution.
  • Flexible: Install it as a main home, a rental, or an extension to your property.

It’s not just a home — it’s a lifestyle investment that adds space, value, and freedom to your life.
