Large Two-Bedroom Log Cabin to Rent in Epping Forest

This is the unit people photograph. A long, timber-built two-bedroom log cabin set in the meadow, with two separate bedrooms, a generous living space, a full kitchen and its own private shower room. It's the largest thing we let and comfortably the most characterful — a genuine cabin in a field at the edge of ancient woodland, rather than a park home with cladding.

There's enough space here for two people to live without treading on each other, or for a couple who simply want room to breathe, an office corner and somewhere for guests to sleep. Sharers work well too, given the two real bedrooms. Outside you have your own private garden area, and beyond that fifteen acres of grass, hedgerow and forest edge.

It also lets by the night from £100 when it's free, which makes it our one option that genuinely suits a short stay — a weekend in Epping Forest, twelve miles from central London, with no road noise and the Owl pub a hundred metres up the lane. Availability is limited because it's usually taken long-term, so it's worth asking early.

At £2,000 pcm every utility bill is included, along with a car parking space, your private garden area and the on-site laundry. The private shower room means the communal block is optional for you rather than part of daily life. Check-in is from 11am and check-out before 12 noon for nightly stays.

As everywhere on the park: no WiFi at all, so mobile data only; no open or wood fires anywhere, charcoal BBQs only, because we sit inside six thousand acres of ancient forest and won't take the risk. Cats are welcome and dogs are at the owner's discretion — please ask before you arrive with one.

Payment is bank transfer in advance; we don't take cards and there's no online booking system. Viewings are strictly by appointment. Give us a ring on 07816 847541 and we'll arrange a time to show you around — this is a cabin that does a lot of its own selling once you're standing in it.
