The space
The Space:

We are very fond of our little Cabin and have aimed to create somewhere that is well equipped, welcoming and, as many of our guests say: a Home from Home. We certainly love spending time there as an escape from everyday life and we hope you’ll love it as much as we do!

Our self catering cabin has a fully equipped kitchen & living area, 2 bedrooms - 1 double & 1 single and a shower room.

The kitchen should be fully equipped with all you need to make a 3 course dinner or just a nice bacon sarnie in the morning. There's an oven, hob and microwave and lots of pots & pans as well as cutlery, crockery and glass wear. We like to keep the cupboards stocked with a few basics – coffee, tea, Tomato Ketchup, Salt & Pepper etc – just in case! There is a small shop on site if you need any basic supplies too.

At the start of 2017 the cabin had a new, fully insulated external cladding added to it & in late 2019 we had the roof insulated also which is keeping everyone warmer in Winter and cooler in Summer. However, please remember that cabin is a completely wood construction so the floors can be still a little chilly underfoot, so packing your Slippers is a great idea!

Mobile signal has improved drastically in the past few years and you'll be able to easily stream films & shows to your devices or make video calls using 4G - perfect for a lazy day in bed! We've also been able to work remotely here as the connection is strong enough to support video calls, so if you need a workcation, then you can escape here for a few days!

*Please note in order to keep rental/ cleaning costs down, we do not provide ANY linens including all bed linen, towels, bath mats, tea towels, cleaning cloths etc. Guests will need to bring their own. Thank You.

Guest access
The place is all yours during your stay and in addition to this there's a small shop, launderette (great after a day mountain biking or hill walking) & well equipped playground on site. Sadly the pub on site was devastated by a huge fire in Oct 2018 and is closed for the foreseeable future whilst it is rebuilt. As it's Grade II listed though, this is taking some time to get sorted.

Recently a small cafe/bar has opened up on site (opposite the Reception building) - check in with Reception for latest opening times as it varies with the season. Or, if you want a night out, taxis are available. Please ask us for more info, or check the guidebook at the Cabin.

The nearest village is Trawsfynydd which is just under 3 miles away. It has a pub and a Premier shop as well as a Petrol Station with a shop, on the A470/ A4212 Junction.

Larger shops / supermarkets and all tourist attractions are accessible by car - to the South you'll find Dolgellau & Barmouth and to the north Porthmadog (best for shops) & Harlech. Most things are about 20/25 mins drive away (a perfect opportunity to take in the scenery!). There is a dedicated space for car parking right outside the cabin so parking should not be an issue.

Other things to note
Check in is at 3 pm and Check out is at Midday.

At the cabin itself there's no Wifi currently due to the location. There is a mobile mast on the site now though and Mobile signal has been greatly improved and is good enough to stream Sky, Netflix etc or work remotely and do video calls.

Due to restrictions from the Snowdonia National Park Authority we are obliged to close for 1 month a year - the dates for this closure are currently from 7 Jan to 7 Feb.

We require ALL guests to have a history of positive feedback from previous hosts so please note if you are new to Airbnb or have little/no reviews we are unlikely to accept your booking. As we are not on site we like to have extra confidence in the bookings - If we do not accept your booking please don't take this personally!

Whilst it is possible to navigate the area by using public transport and there is a bus stop right outside the cabin site, this is not the easiest way to enjoy the area as busses are not super regular. So we don't really recommend booking if you don't have a car however, the choice is entirely yours.

Neighbourhood highlights

Located in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, halfway between Barmouth & Porthmadog off the A470, the cabin is close to many tourist attractions:
Yr Wyddfa (Mt Snowdon) is just over 20 miles away, Coed Y Brenin is only 3 miles down the road and Portmeirion is a 20 minute drive away.

It’s perfect territory for Walkers, Mountain Bikers and Adventure Seekers (Zip World & Go Below are great for Adrenaline junkies!) or if you just want to relax and get away from it all there are many sandy beaches, steam trains, medieval castles and country pubs all within easy reach.

The scenery in Snowdonia is absolutely stunning and very varied (the photos if the area on our listing give a bit of a feel for this) & with very little effort you can be in the middle of nowhere with nothing to bother you but the occasional sheep!

If you love the outdoors this is definitely the area for you!

Hi there! We're Holly & Andy - very proud owners of Log Cabin Snowdonia! We have owned the cabin for many years now & love being able to share the magic of Snowdonia with everyone who comes to visit. We have always aimed to provide a space that is cosy, clean & comfortable & we know that because we stay here ourselves and treat it like our own Home, that all our guests will find a space filled with both practical items and lots of thoughtful, quirky touches to improve your experience. We want you to feel as relaxed & at Home as we do here! We take a great pride not only in our service to you (reflected in our Superhost status which we have held continually now since first being awarded it!) but also in continually investing in the Cabin - in the past few years alone we have completely refitted it internally as well as giving it a new insulated roof and insulated walls! We want to be 100% confident that you are rewarded for choosing to stay here by getting the best possible experience in return. Snowdonia & North Wales have a huge amount to offer to visitors - we've been coming here regularly for over 15 years now and are still finding new experiences, as well as regularly returning to some of our most beloved spots & never feeling bored! We hope that the combination of the enchanting landscape of Snowdonia & a stay in a cosy, homely, little Cabin, will start off a lifelong love affair for you too!
