Netflix’s ‘Little House on the Prairie’ has us dreaming of these 9 UK cabin escapes
As Netflix’s reimagining of Little House on the Prairie premieres, these are some of the best cabin stays that capture its rustic spirit
Netflix’s much-anticipated reboot of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie has finally landed on our screens. The series – renewed for a second season before its debut – is already rekindling an appetite for the kind of life it paints: wide-open land, wood smoke, and a slower pace far from modern noise.
For those who’d rather trade the covered wagon for a car journey (and skip the 19th-century hardships), we’ve gathered a collection of UK stays that channel the same spirit – from off-grid log cabins and homesteader-style retreats to hideaways with wood-fired hot tubs, open fires, and views for days. Each one offers a taste of remote prairie living, reimagined for a long weekend rather than a lifetime.
*Brand New* Frith Cabin – Ardnamurchan Peninsula, Scotland
The road to Frith winds through one of Britain’s last true wildernesses, where Atlantic rainforest cloaks the hillsides, sea lochs carve into the landscape, and white-sand beaches appear out of nowhere. Then, almost at the water’s edge, you arrive. This beautiful cabin sleeps six and has been lovingly restored by Honest Burgers co-founder Tom Barton and his graphic designer wife, Connie – for whom Scotland became "the only place we could properly switch off".
It feels naturally rooted in its surroundings – with soaring timber ceilings, huge picture windows, and a deck leading straight down to the shore. The view is the first thing you’ll notice, then the details: a Heal’s swivel chair for watching dolphins and seals surface offshore, a hammock for lazy afternoons, vintage heirlooms, and a kitchen designed by people who love to cook. It’s a place to drop out of the real world for a while and go with nature’s flow.

Woodcock Cabin – Cambrian Mountains, Wales
Hand-built and fully off grid, this cabin a nature lover’s dream. It has no postcode (the owners send you a ‘what 3 words’ to pinpoint its exact location), but you’ll roughly find it under the branches of an old oak tree in the middle of nowhere. Be prepared to roll your stuff down to the front door in a wheelbarrow, then check out of real life for a while. There are tumbling waterfalls, idyllic gorges, caverns, follies, and secret gardens to explore amongst the 38 acres of land, and you can expect to see an abundance of wildlife – including birds of prey, roe deer, and masses of butterflies.

Wilderkin Cabin – near West Linton, Scotland
Hidden in a secluded glade on a former farm, this cabin is off-grid perfection. The minimalist, wood-clad space has just enough luxe for relaxation – with a deep king-sized bed, a vinyl record player, and a hand-built Japanese Ofuro style hot tub. But it’s really the wild Scottish Border surroundings that take centre stage. Sunlight streams into the space through picture windows, showcasing a wide open sky, and heather-blanketed slopes undulate all the way to the Pentland Hills. Bring walking boots and layers (you’ll spend hours exploring) – and your swimmers – for morning dips in the lake.
From £170/night | https://www.kiphideaways.com/hideaways/wilderkin-cabin/
The Forager’s Cabin – Powys, Wales
Set between Shropshire Hills and the lakes, peaks, and valleys of Snowdonia, this eco-cabin is hidden away in a world of green. Birds sing all day, and with ten acres of private woodland to explore, it’s a true back-to-nature escape. This place is all about simple pleasures: a morning stroll, watching the sunset at G&T Point (a sundowner deck at the end of the woods), stargazing, or simply curling up with a great read. You can even get the alfresco hot tub candlelit, warm, and ready for your arrival.
From £185/night | https://www.kiphideaways.com/hideaways/the-foragers-cabin/
The Lazy Duck – near Aviemore, Cairngorms, Scotland
Among ancient Scots pines and heather-clad moorland, this cluster of hand-built cabins are all about unplugging and recharging – whether you come alone, as a couple, or as a family (there are options for all). There’s a cabin by the duck pond where a Hebridean box bed looks up to the stars, a cosy bunkhouse with board games and forest views, and The Woodman’s Hut – an off-grid, warm, whisky-sipping sort of space with sweeping views of the Northern Corries. Days are slow here, and invite exploration of the surrounding wilderness.

Cruckbarn – near Leominster, Herefordshire
There’s something incredibly earthy about hunkering down in a log cabin amidst ancient woodland – especially when the owners hand-built it themselves from the mighty Herefordshire oaks that surround you. Tune into birdsong from the moment you wake, enjoy breakfast outside, and watch house martins swoop above you. Walk in the surrounding countryside, stop by the local pub for excellent lunches, and as the sun sets you can sit and toast marshmallows over the fire pit. There are no everyday distractions here – just peace, idyllic views all the way to Ludlow, and cosy luxury in the great outdoors.
From £217/night | https://www.kiphideaways.com/hideaways/cruckbarn/
Chatan at Cove Valley – near Tiverton, Devon
This tiny-house-on-stilts at Cove Valley – a 130-acre rewilding project in Devon – is shaped like a birdbox. The name itself means “hawk” in Lakota, and you’ll find features inspired by Native American design throughout: traditional woven textiles, hand-painted scenes of Seneca canoes, and carved reliefs in the furniture. In the bedroom, a print by Adam Bridgland and Benjamin Taylor Thompson reads ‘I need this wilderness for my heart to beat’. A long, star-lit soak in the Swedish wood-fired bathtub here can help reset the busiest of brains, and it’s hard not to feel deeply relaxed just being in these beautiful surroundings. You’ll likely run into red deer, goshawks, owls, and hedgehogs while you walk through the looping forest trails – and, blissfully, nobody else.
From £245/night | https://www.kiphideaways.com/hideaways/chatan/
The Quist – near Hereford, Herefordshire, Wales
There’s a little bit of magic running through this vast Herefordshire estate. And at the very top of it, concealed amid 100 acres of ancient oaks and firs, lies The Quist. With two spacious bedrooms, beautifully draped fabrics, wood panelling with exposed pipework, and not one, but three bathing options (two of them alfresco to max out on forest views), this off-grid treehouse has been exceptionally crafted by its owners (a carpenter and a creative) – and it’s achingly cool. Run wild in the woodland, soak in the wood-fired hot tub, or visit Hay-on-Wye, where bookshops rub shoulders with cool cafes and adventure specialists, who’ll get you canoeing on the River Wye or hiking in the Black Mountains.
From £295/night | https://www.kiphideaways.com/hideaways/the-quist/
Meadow Lodge – Shelford, near Cambridge
At the edge of a beech wood with a wild meadow unfurling beyond the windows, this delightful three-bedroom barn is bathed in birdsong and dappled light. Only three miles from the historic colleges, galleries, and café tables of Cambridge, it’s ideal for those who want both countryside hush and city buzz. Once the home of owners Simon and Sophie, it has been dressed with her interior designer’s eye but shaped by the family’s heart. Over ten months, they slowly transformed it from a humble office annexe to this dreamy retreat, whilst raising three young boys and coaxing the surrounding land into bloom. That sense of lived-in warmth is what really makes this place sing.
