If you are looking to maximise the potential of your home, but don’t have the time, patience or planning permission for an extension then a log cabin could be just the solution! Available in a range of shapes and sizes, a log cabin in your garden can be so much more than just a dumping ground for your lawnmower and other gardening equipment.
Here are 9 of the most awesome uses of a log cabin we have seen… just wait til you see number 7! 
If you want to have friends or family to stay, asking them to bunk down on the sofa is far from ideal. Ensure that your guests get a great night of sleep by setting up a log cabin as a guest bedroom. A proper comfortable bed and a little privacy make it a home away from home. Many cabins have multiple rooms meaning that you can even install an en-suite to help make your guests so comfortable that they may never want to leave!
Sometimes the biggest barrier standing between us and the gym is getting to the gym itself, particularly if it’s not particularly close by. However, with a log cabin gym there is no excuse not to exercise. The opportunities are endless. Cardio machines, weights, yoga and Pilates, or even just a TV with a workout DVD, a log cabin gym can provide all the space you need to get your body healthy.
If you work from home, finding space to escape from the distractions of everyday life can be tricky. A log cabin office is the perfect solution, providing space for a great sized desk, comfortable chair, and all the storage you need. By keeping all of your work related items in a separate office you can differentiate between work and free time far easier, and once you go home you can truly relax and unwind.
Bathroom too small for a Jacuzzi bath? Stuck with just a shower? Fancy a hot tub but don’t want to leave it exposed in the garden? Even a small log cabin can be large enough to accommodate a hot, bubbly retreat from the family. Keep towels, a mini fridge and some cold beverages in there too and you have everything you need to kick back, relax and enjoy.
The above picture is of the Chapel of the Transfiguration in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, but perfectly illustrates the unique way in which a log cabin can be used. Prayer can be difficult when we are surrounded with people and possessions that distract us. A sparsely decorated log cabin can make the ideal place to go when you want to pray and spend time working on your faith.
Whether for a hobby or for work, a log cabin makes the ideal space for a workshop. Woodworking, fishing, car-tuning and more are all possible when you have somewhere convenient to store your equipment, and better still, you can lock it up tight to ensure that it’s kept well away from small and vulnerable hands!
After a long, hard day at work, what could be better than unwinding in your very own sauna? Studies have shown that a sauna is one of the best and most effective ways to relieve tension and stress, flush toxins from the skin and leave us feeling relaxed, calm and happy. Whether it is a sauna for two or something bigger, you can end every day on a high with a log cabin sauna.
If you are a trained beauty therapist, masseuse or similar then why pay out to rent a space in an expensive salon or gym when you can provide all your treatments from the comfort of your own home? A log cabin makes a cost and tranquil sanctuary for even the most complex treatments, and a place that your clients can keep coming back to over and over again.
A sewing studio for your, or perhaps somewhere for the little ones in your family to glue, stick, draw and glitter, a log cabin provides the perfect location to get creative. There is plenty of storage for all of your equipment, and space to hang and dry your little one’s next masterpiece. Whether it’s pottery or painting, constructing or collating, the only limit is your imagination!

Delivery was efficient, all well packaged and protected from damage. Constructed by three of us in one and a half days. Everything fitted perfectly and needed gentle mallet to locate exactly. Instruction book was clear simple and explicit. Thoroughly delighted with the construction and the finish. Very pleased that Martin was able to redraw the design to our specification. Delighted with the whole thing, finish, price and service. Thanks Martin.

Great quality item with simple, concise instructions, easily constructed by the family. Great delivery service. However, the customer service from Garden Adventure was not great; the cabin was a month late arriving, we had to chase for information regarding this as none was forthcoming. The incorrect bearers arrived and although we received a refund we had to chase for this. Not sure I would recommend them but the cabin materials were great.

Seamless ordering, Martin was extremely helpful with all my questions. Delivery was also fantastic with the delivery guy very helpful (it's a big delivery). Took me and elderly father in law 2 days to get it all up and built/weather tight, went together very easily with no issues. I went for the shingle roof, it still came also with felt which could be used as roof underlay. For spec I went for the superior level glazing with toughened glass, also went for the larger logs (68mm) and glad I did as feels so sturdy/insulated although am sure the 44mm would be great also. I Insulated the floor with celotex, could have done the roof but as this is a garden room rather than office etc I didn't go that far. Overall a highly recommended product, for what you get I think it's a very competitive price, much better than others I had seen that weren't so good. The only parts I bought myself were the insulation and guttering (and paint/preserve of course). I want it to last so did two coats of preserve, knotting and two of paint, also have a sealant to go on which is yet to be done. A sprayer really helped/cut down on time. Would not hesitate in recommending Martin to purchase through, helpful all through the process and very quick to respond. 5*

Great cabin. Excellent quality. From the initial ordering and having it customised to my specs, to screwing on the last piece of trim this has been a pleasure. Straight forward to assemble. Had everything but the roof covering done in a day on account of how well it went together. Sturdy high quality build. Could not be happier. This company have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Top marks 👍

Really pleased with our log cabin! Can't believe the quality of the wood. It took the installation team (Lee Stuart and 3 others who were recommended by Martin) 6.5 hours which was really impressive given the weather conditions on the day, and even they said how good the quality was. It is so warm inside and we didn't even have the insulation installed. Great correspondence from Martin from the start to keep us in the loop regarding production and delivery times. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Martin!
