#CabinWeek - Winter Cabin on Mount Kanin

#CabinWeek - Woodnest Cabin
Escaping and reconnecting with Mother Nature may involve a direct link with trees. Some people hug them, other worship them… Why not living on it. Haven’t we all had a house in the trees when we were kids?

#CabinWeek - 72h Cabin in Sweden
Starting 2021 with a new series!
#CabinWeek will invite you to escape from the urban life and help you reset. Its aim is to encourage us to be more environmentally conscious and in tune with nature.
2021 should be the year for all of us to slow our pace and reprioritise. This week will highlight five cozy cabins.
