A new holiday cabin in the Cairngorms National Park is clad in mirrors, topped with a living grass roof, and tucked in a mature pine forest at Corgarff. From the path, it almost disappears. One cabin is open now — the first of more planned on a family hill bought in the 1980s.

Six cabins in the woods, each a different way to sit among the trees: a creek-side off-grid build, a father-daughter mountain cabin, a Catskills alpine that sleeps four in under 500 square feet, a forest-ready Bosun on an island lot, a Wisconsin cottage with a stock-tank tub, and a dark modern cabin in Mississippi.

After walking the Camino de Santiago twice — five weeks each time, as little as she could carry — Joanne came home to a Sydney studio and wondered why she had so much stuff. Then a workplace injury left her with a permanent injury and a mortgage she was worried about keeping. She sold the apartment. Her daughter and son-in-law offered a patch of their Blue Mountains land. Two years in, she lives mortgage-free. The main house ran close to AU$220,000; both tinies came to about AU$250,000, plus AU$35,000 of groundwork and a AU$20,000 deck.
