Six remote cabins in the Lake District for hiking

Hinterlandes Cabin offers an off-grid retreat in the less-travelled Lorton Valley for those looking to escape into the wild beauty of the Lake District National Park. The cabin’s location shifts between several secret spots, meaning you’ll wake up to a new, breathtaking view of rolling hills, shimmering lakes or misty valleys each day. 

Step straight out into some of England’s best hiking trails, from gentle woodland walks to challenging mountain climbs. Fancy a refreshing dip? There are secluded tarns and mountain streams perfect for wild swimming. And when the adventure winds down, cosy up by the wood burner or reward yourself with a well-earned pint at a traditional Lakeland pub.

If you're looking for a secluded spot to get away from it all, Edens Vale Lodge is the perfect place. Sheltered in a peaceful dell surrounded by rolling Cumbrian hills and whitewashed farmhouses, this sleek, contemporary cabin is a perfect base for exploring the great outdoors. 

With hiking trails weaving right past your doorstep, you can set off on scenic walks without ever needing to drive. The Lake District and Pennines are just a short trip away, offering breathtaking hikes, rugged peaks, and hidden valleys. And if you're feeling fit, you can even walk to the cabin from the nearest train station, making your trip as low carbon as possible. After a day outdoors, sink into comfort, listening to the sounds of nature from your cosy retreat while you plan tomorrow’s next adventure.

Sat against the scenic hillside with sweeping views of Muncaster Fell and Scafell beyond, this is the kind of place where you can truly switch off from the world. Mornings start slow. Wrap your hands around a steaming mug of coffee as the mist rolls over the fells, deciding whether the day calls for scaling Scafell Pike, a wild swim in the crystal-clear River Esk just across the field, or a bracing walk straight from the door to a secret waterfall. 

As the sun dips behind the hills, fire up the suspended grill over the crackling firepit, grilling dinner beneath a sky heavy with stars. And after an evening of story swapping and stargazing, sink into the plush embrace of a four-poster bed, ready to do it all again tomorrow.

Escape to The Hütte, a cosy little mountain hideout right in the heart of the Lake District, where rainy days feel magical, and outdoor adventure is right on the doorstep of your remote cabin.  

Wake up to misty mountain vistas before heading out on hiking trails. Spend your days ghyll scrambling, climbing, biking, or paddleboarding at Derwentwater Lake, just a short trip away. After a day of conquering rugged paths and breathing in that crisp mountain air, you'll have worked up quite the appetite. Gather around the open fire, stretch out tired legs, and craft the perfect pizza, its dough crisping over the flames and the scent of melting cheese filling the air. Whether you're swapping stories over a bottle of wine, playing cards by candlelight, or simply soaking in the silence, this is what true escape feels like.

For a truly immersive nature experience, Above the Woodshed offers 11 acres of private land to explore, meaning you can hike straight from your doorstep without seeing another soul. Thoughtfully designed to blend into the landscape, this eco-conscious retreat is all about harmonising with nature and minimising impact on the surrounding eco-system. 

Start your mornings with a peaceful stroll to the private pond, where the only sounds are the rustling trees and birdsong. If you’re lucky, you might spot the pair of mating swans that return every year. Spend your days wandering the wild trails, then, as the sun sets, cosy up by the fire, feeling worlds away from everyday life.

If you dream of days spent hiking the fells and evenings spent fireside, The Lodge is the one for you. On the wooded banks of the River Eamont, this remote cabin for six has trails winding through the Edenhall Estate and beyond into the Lake District. 

Start the morning with a sunrise walk along the river, keeping an eye out for otters floating in the mist. Then lace up your boots and set off, perhaps to Aira Force, where waterfalls tumble through ancient woodlands. If you’re feeling ambitious, pack a picnic and tackle the craggy trails leading to Blencathra’s dramatic summit. 

After a day on your feet, return to The Lodge and dunk yourself in the hot tub, watching the stars emerge above the trees. Whether you’re grilling up a fresh catch on the BBQ or simply listening to the gentle rush of the river, life here moves at nature’s pace — slow, wild, and utterly peaceful.
