Customer Story: A Year-Round Holiday Haven

14.02.2025

The familiar weight of booking flights, packing suitcases, and organizing time off work… We all know the paradox of needing a holiday to recover from planning our holiday. And lets not even get started on the travelling. Whether you’re taking the bus, train or plane, there’s no escape from the noise, way too many people invading your personal space and other discomforts that often zap us of our energy.

But what if your perfect retreat was just a few steps away from your back door? One of Summerhouse24’s customers recently shared how wonderful it is to have their own cabin for rest at home. Their experience highlights why so many homeowners choose to create their own holiday haven in their gardens. It truly is a life upgrade that you’ll never want to give up once you have it.

“The smell of wood is simply amazing,” our customer shared, highlighting one of the many sensory delights their garden room offers. But it’s more than just the aromatic spruce that creates that special holiday feeling. Most of all it is the peaceful silence that comfortingly envelops you as you close the door behind you. You’re finally away from it all, despite being just a few steps from your home.

It’s all in the details

Any interior is always made special by thoughtful design and personal touches. The carefully chosen lighting casts warm shadows across the pine-clad walls, creating a cozy atmosphere. As evening falls, the cabin takes on a new character. Its interior glows like a warm lantern in your garden, inviting everyone in to rest and relax.

A bookshelf running along the upper wall creates a personal library, offering a perfect excuse to finally dive into that riveting novel or timeless poetry collection.

“Our little wooden cabin in the garden makes us feel like we are on holiday,” says our customer.

The soft crackle of a small fireplace on a cold day, plush seating that invites you to sink in with a good book… It doesn’t get much better than this!

It is this magical combination of comfort, tranquility, and separation from the main house that creates a true sense of escape. Whether it’s watching the seasons change through the large windows, enjoying a morning coffee in tranquil solitude, or ending the day in a space dedicated purely to relaxation – every visit is a restoring mini-break from everyday life.

A peaceful sanctuary for everyone

Many of our customers create dedicated relaxation spaces in their garden rooms. In this garden room candles and a Buddha statue create an atmosphere and visual reminder that encourages mindfulness and peace. This is something often sought on holiday but rarely achieved in the chaos of travel.

The main seating area exudes comfort with its plush cushions and soft throws. Furry friends lounging on the sofa remind us that this is a space for the whole family to enjoy. No pet sitters needed for this getaway! A sleek side table holds just enough space for an evening drink or morning coffee, depending on how you choose to use your escape that day.

Year-round comfort

Unlike traditional holidays constrained by peak seasons and weather conditions, a garden room offers year-round enjoyment. The planned addition of a wood burner promises cozy winter evenings, while the current infrared heater ensures the space remains comfortable through changing seasons. The large windows and doors can be opened to welcome summer breezes or closed to create a snug winter retreat.

Garden rooms grow with you

This new garden room, while still evolving, already showcases the endless possibilities these spaces offer. With plans for a wood burner and sauna in what was originally designated as shed space, these wonderful structures can easily adapt to changing needs and desires. Whichever way you’re headed in life, your cabin can easily be changed to support your journey.

With the addition of a sauna on the horizon, this garden room is a perfect example of how these spaces can evolve over time. It’s an investment not just in a structure, but in your daily wellbeing and happiness. As our customer’s experience shows, the true luxury isn’t in traveling far from home – it’s in creating a space that makes home feel like your perfect destination.
