Cabin on a Lake

About

WONDERFUL, WILD, LUXURY - The cabin on the lake, built in 2022 by Andy the owner is a unique and wonderful place. We’re incredibly excited about it and are sure you will be too! Head back into nature at the Cabin on the Lake, a name which could not be more perfectly suited to this private getaway in the North Devon countryside. Set in a secluded spot on an island on a lake with open access to fields. Follow a short winding path from the field, until you stumble upon the idyllic lake. Cross a bridge and you find the cabin nestled on an island in the lake. There is a platform above the water which is the perfect spot for yoga or meditation or simply star gazing! There’s also the rustic fire pit to toast marshmallows upon and plenty of private space to sit back and relax with an ice cold G&T the only tough decision is to choose the hammocks or egg chair? Immerse your mind, body and soul into a slower pace of life for a few days and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. GET AWAY FROM IT ALL….. The private Cabin on the lake is perfect for romantics, clad in timber inside and out, the cabin is true to its name and has a substantial deck out over the lake, giving a sense of floating on water which surrounds its balcony on 3 sides. A great, tranquil place to sit and watch the local wildlife. There is so much character within this bespoke hideaway, which we know you will just fall in love with. On a rainy-day light the wood burner and cosy up with that book you’ve been waiting to get stuck into. You are sure to get a dreamy night’s sleep in the sumptuous king-size bed made out of an oak tree and hand-crafted with luxurious linens and there’s no need to set an alarm here! We told you, this really is the place to retreat to for some much-needed downtime. Large Windows with bi-fold doors ensure you feel immersed in the environment and a full-width balcony on two sides over the water with your very own decked area and picnic and BBQ area. The Cabin on the lake is simple but sophisticated – the interior has stripped wood floors and walls, a king-size bed and furniture made out of logs! Including a huge bathroom with a walk-in shower, toilet and sink. It also has a kitchen (hob and microwave but no oven) and an open-plan lounge area. Plus, if you do have the kids, it has a fantastic upstairs bedroom with restricted ceiling height offering a true secret den set up with 2 full-sized single beds. The sofa also converts to a double sofa bed should you have extended guests with you. The Cabin on the Lake soothes the tension of modern life right out of you and fills you with the peace of nature.
