Great Camp Cabins

Great Camp Cabins

These two log cabins, part of the Great Camp compound, are a short walk from the Main House, allowing guests privacy and seclusion amongst the pines. Each cabin is built around a dramatic central stone chimney of local fieldstone, with French doors to a private balcony overlooking the lake to the east; one cabin has a sleeping porch with a hanging bed, and they share access to a central firepit surrounded by Adirondack chairs. Both are true log cabin construction, made of carefully scribed stacked Western Red Cedar logs, and designed to settle around the chimney and windows as the logs dry over the years. Like the rest of the compound, Catherine was responsible for both the architecture and all furnishings, and, like the rest of the compound, the house and its furnishings were designed to feel as if they had been in the family for centuries, with a crafted mix of items, fabrics, and styles. The project was designed and managed by Catherine while at Ann Beha Architects.
