About

Sister cabin to Hansel and identical in design, Gretel is built out of locally sourced oak. Built to the highest quality housing standards, it is intelligently engineered for year-round occupancy. The cabin is extremely thermally efficient utilising Thermafleece insulation and aluminium double glazing, meaning it is warm in winter and cool in summer. There are lots of details such as an emerald green marble clad wet room, contemporary brass fittings, reclaimed flooring and oak worktops, crockery, books, games, utensils etc have all been carefully curated There is a large panoramic window, nearly the width and height of the cabin, framing the view. There is an Indonesian hardwood decking area raised up into the trees decking area for outside dining or just hanging out forest bathing. There is also top of the range wood-fired hot tub for whiling away the evening and a handmade bbq / fire pit with log seating area.

Gretel has a second childrens bed in the eaves but please note we would recommend this for 5 years and upwards as its a small ladder with no door on the hatch (please contact us if you have any questions)
