Finman Glamping Cabins – Retreat, Sleeper & Loft Series for Your Hospitality Business

Logspan’s Finman collection of glamping cabins (Retreat, Sleeper, and Loft models) is designed to elevate your glamping site or boutique retreat into a high-revenue, year-round destination. These premium timber cabins blend rustic charm with modern comfort, allowing you to charge higher nightly rates and boost occupancy while delighting guests with memorable stays. If you’re looking to increase accommodation revenue, offer unique experiences, and extend your season in all weather, read on – the Finman range delivers results.

Boost Revenue with Year-Round Luxury Pods

Investing in a Finman cabin is not just about a new structure – it’s about maximizing your return on investment (ROI). Glamping sites across the UK report that the boom in “luxury camping” has driven nightly prices up, yielding great returns on investment for owners. With a Finman Sleeper Cabin, for example, you can earn back your investment within the first year, even at modest occupancy (e.g. ~25% occupancy at £75/night covers costs). Key revenue-boosting benefits include:

• Premium Pricing & Occupancy – Finman cabins are trendy and highly desirable to travelers, meaning you can charge premium rates and still fill up bookings. Guests happily pay for the novelty and comfort, creating a substantial new revenue stream for your business. Many owners see profits far sooner than with traditional accommodations.

• Extended Season = More Income – Unlike canvas tents or yurt rentals that dip in popularity after summer, Finman cabins are fully insulated and equipped for all-season use. Thick 45 mm timber walls, double-glazed windows and doors, and optional floor/roof insulation keep guests cozy in winter. This means you can host visitors in the off-season and through winter, dramatically extending your earning season. In fact, even typically hesitant “fair-weather campers” are happy to stay in a Finman pod with home comforts all year round.

• Higher Occupancy & Repeat Stays – By offering a unique cabin experience, you’ll attract new customer segments (from glamping enthusiasts to families and couples seeking secluded getaways). Happy guests lead to glowing reviews and repeat visits, keeping your occupancy rates high. The Finman Retreat’s luxury and cosiness have made it “one of the most sought-after” cabins on sites like TripAdvisor, driving consistent interest (and bookings) through word of mouth. Your brand’s reputation will grow as a premium, distinctive destination – allowing you to maintain high occupancy and even expand with additional units.

Delight Your Guests with Unique, Unforgettable Stays

In the competitive hospitality market, guest experience is king. Finman cabins help you offer an experience that standard pods or static caravans simply can’t match. Each cabin’s distinctive Nordic “Grillikota” design sets it apart – no generic hut shape, but an eye-catching timber lodge that instantly elevates your site’s appeal. Here’s how Finman cabins enchant your guests and strengthen your brand:

• Aspirational Comfort and Charm – Picture your guests arriving to a cosy wooden hideaway lit by fairy lights or a firepit. By night they snuggle into a warm cabin with a flickering stove (or outdoor fire) casting a glow, while winter winds blow outside. By day they enjoy panoramic loft views of the surrounding landscape or relax on a covered porch with a hot drink. This is Instagram-ready glamping – the kind of enchanted stay that guests rave about. Whether it’s a romantic winter getaway or a family adventure, Finman cabins create stories and smiles.

• Distinctive Design = Brand Differentiation – The Finman range’s unique multi-sided architecture and high ceilings not only maximize interior space but also blend beautifully into natural settings. The cabins “work in harmony with the land,” so your site retains an authentic outdoor vibe. Guests feel immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort. Plus, the uncommon shape means your site photos stand out online. Don’t copy the rest with the same old pod – a Finman cabin gives you a niche and talking point that sets your glamping business apart.

• Luxury Touches & Guest Satisfaction – These cabins may be rustic in look, but they are luxurious in feel. High-quality slow-grown Scandinavian spruce construction and precision craftsmanship ensure a clean, solid build that impresses upon arrival. You can outfit the interior to boutique-hotel standards – think plush bedding in an alpine-style loft, or a spa-like private sauna add-on. Many glamping couples use Finman pods as honeymoon suites or romantic retreats, and families love the novelty. Satisfied guests will remember (and recommend) your site, boosting your brand through positive reviews and social media.

All-Season Comfort and Weather-Resilience

Every Finman cabin is built for year-round usability, ensuring your investment isn’t limited by weather. From the materials to the engineering, these cabins handle the demands of a busy glampsite and the rigors of a UK climate:

• Robust Insulation & Heating Options – The cabins come with 45 mm thick solid wood walls by default, and you can upgrade to fully insulated wall panels, roof, and floor to achieve excellent thermal performance. (Our insulation uses Rockwool and PIR boards, achieving U-values as low as 0.43–0.66 W/m²K for a cosy interior.) Combined with double-glazed 16 mm glass windows, this means guests stay warm on the coldest nights and cool during summer heat. You can also easily install a wood-burning stove or electric heating, thanks to available wiring for lights and sockets in all models. No more damp, chilly nights – your guests enjoy comfort whatever the weather.

• Weatherproof Roofing – Each cabin includes heavy-duty bitumen roofing shingles with a 10-year guarantee against the elements. The multi-slope roof design efficiently sheds rain and snow, and a slight front overhang protects the entrance. Finman cabins have been deployed in windy Scottish highlands and rainy Welsh hills with great success – they’re designed to last. Properly treated, the slow-grown spruce timber will serve for many years; we even provide guidance on wood treatment to ensure longevity. In short, you get a structure that’s as durable as it is beautiful, requiring only basic maintenance.

• Extend Your Season into Winter – Because of this solid, weatherproof build, you can confidently offer glamping in all seasons. The Finman Glamping Loft and Sleeper models have proven to be excellent substitutes for canvas yurts or bell tents, especially when you’re tired of packing away tent fabric or dealing with leaks. By moving to solid cabins, you eliminate weather-related cancellations and open up the lucrative winter market. Guests can watch autumn storms or winter snowfall from the snug safety of their cabin – a unique experience that sets your site apart. You’ll keep earning income when others have closed for the season.

Finman Cabin Models & Specifications

Logspan offers three core models in the Finman glamping range – Sleeper, Loft, and Retreat – each engineered to serve different guest capacities and luxury levels. All models share the hallmark features (45 mm spruce walls, double glazing, shingled roof, under-2.5 m building height, etc.) that make them ideal for glampsites. Below is an overview of each cabin option and its specifications:

• Finman Sleeper Cabin: A compact 11 m² to 17 m² pod (available in two sizes) that is the perfect starter glamping unit. The smaller 11 m² version (≈4 m diameter) comfortably fits a double bed – ideal as a cosy couples’ hideaway or honeymoon suite. The larger 17 m² version offers extra living space or bunk beds for a small family. Key features: 45 mm walls, one lockable double-glazed door, three opening windows, under 2.5 m overall height for planning compliance. The Sleeper is a blank canvas inside – you can configure it as an open-plan bedroom, a snug lounge, or even add a small en-suite partition. With its affordable price point and upgrade options, the Finman Sleeper provides a quick path to premium accommodation income. In fact, even this “basic” pod is so inviting that it can entice even non-campers out to nature with home comforts all year round.

• Finman Glamping Loft: A 17 m² cabin with a twist – it adds a mezzanine loft area and clever design tweaks to maximize usable space without enlarging the footprint. This model can sleep a family of four comfortably by utilizing a loft sleeping platform (great fun for kids) in addition to the ground-floor sleeping area. Many owners outfit the Loft with a built-in bath/shower room and kitchenette, effectively turning it into a self-contained micro-lodge for couples or families. Key features: same base dimensions as the larger Sleeper (approx. 5 m x 4.3 m footprint), with high roof peak and interior ladder-access loft. Despite the name, it still meets the “Height under 2.5 m” guideline externally. The Loft’s charm is its vertical space – guests love the novelty of a loft bedroom or storage loft, and you’ll love the extra amenity space it frees up below (for example, a small dining nook or full bathroom). The Finman Loft truly “adds more usable space … without adding to the footprint,” allowing luxury amenities in a compact cabin.

• Finman Retreat Cabin: The largest standard model, essentially a Finman Sleeper with an extended floorplan for ultimate luxury. The Retreat is a 17 m² base cabin plus a rear extension (1.6–2.8 m length options), giving ample room for separate areas like a bedroom, en-suite bathroom, or even a kitchenette lounge. This model “brings a touch of luxury, providing a large living area within a small footprint,” making it ideal for high-end glamping resorts. It comfortably hosts a family of four with proper beds and a fully enclosed shower room and mini-kitchen if desired. Key features: ~5 m width octagonal main room with additional module, one or two doors (e.g. main entrance + back door to private bathroom), multiple windows including roof skylights for extra light. Many sites choose the Retreat to offer top-tier accommodations – think “tiny cabin lodge” with all the comforts of a hotel suite. For example, you could have a studio-style layout with a double bed and seating in the main cabin, and a door leading to an en-suite washroom in the extension. Some operators even configure the Retreat as a “Finman Bunkhouse” version sleeping up to 10 people with built-in bunk beds lining the walls – perfect for group bookings like scouts or team retreats. Whether used as a romantic deluxe pod or a group cabin, the Finman Retreat delivers a standout experience that commands higher nightly rates and extended stays.

(All models are constructed from sustainable Northern spruce and come with tanalised foundation beams for long-term stabilitylogspan.comlogspan.com. You can customize wall thickness, insulation levels, number of windows, and other options to suit your climate and budget. Our team is happy to advise on the best configuration for your needs.)

No-Nonsense Planning & Installation

We understand that planning permission and installation logistics can be major considerations when adding new structures. Logspan is here to make that process as smooth as possible:

• Planning Permission Guidance: Glamping pods generally do require planning permission in the UK (they’re considered permanent structures). However, Finman cabins are thoughtfully designed to improve your odds with planners – their compact size and modest height mean they “fit nicely” on plots without dominating the landscape. (Each model keeps eaves height around 1.2 m and ridge height under ~4 m, with low-profile roofs.) The natural timber aesthetic also helps the cabins blend into rural settings, aligning with local character. We provide detailed drawings and specifications for your planning applications, and many customers have successfully obtained permission by following our guidelines. Our team is happy to share advice from past projects to help you navigate the process with confidence.

• Easy, Eco-Friendly Installation: You won’t need heavy construction or permanent foundations for a Finman cabin. We offer a robust timber base frame system – a raised, pressure-treated platform supported by recycled plastic posts set on concrete pads. This creates a solid, level base with minimal impact on the ground (no large concrete slab required). It also allows airflow to prevent damp. Assembly of the cabin itself can be done by competent DIYers, but we also offer a professional build service to handle the entire installation for you. In just a short time, your cabin will be erected and ready to welcome guests. All necessary fixtures (doors, windows, roofing) are included, and we can customize door styles (e.g. add accessible wider doors, full-glass panels, etc.) to meet your site’s needs. In short, we take care of the hard work – from delivering the kit to putting on the finishing touches – so you can focus on preparing the guest experience.

• Cost and Financing: Worried about the upfront cost? Finman cabins are competitively priced for their quality (starting around £5,900 for the 11m² Sleeper), and the revenue they generate means they pay for themselves quickly. As shown above, even with part-time occupancy you can recoup costs in a single season. For further flexibility, we can connect you with glamping finance options and offer staged payment plans to approved customers (so you can start earning before you’ve paid the full balance). In essence, a Finman cabin is a smart investment that soon funds its own cost through guest bookings – and then keeps generating profit for years to come.

Built to Impress, Built to Last (Quality You Can Trust)

When investing in your business, you need to know you’re getting a product that will perform over the long haul. The Finman range is the result of years of experience in Scandinavian cabin design and is constructed with premium materials for longevity and safety:

• High-Quality Timber & Craftsmanship: All cabins use sustainably sourced, slow-grown Northern spruce – a dense, durable wood perfect for outdoor structures. Walls are thick cut (no flimsy panels here), and all doors and windows are factory-fitted with proper seals and locks. The cabins are engineered in the same style as our famous Finman BBQ huts, which have been proven in harsh Nordic winters. Each kit is precision-cut for a snug assembly, meaning your cabin will be sturdy and weather-tight. We’re so confident in the build quality that we encourage prospective buyers to check out our existing installations or customer testimonials. As one glamping site owner noted, “we were impressed with the build quality and pricing” – our cabins are built to impress you and your guests alike.

• Custom Options & Aftercare: Every glamping business is unique, so we offer bespoke design tweaks and add-ons to ensure your Finman cabin fits your vision. Need extra windows for a lake view? Additional side extension for storage or a hot tub shelter? Prefer an off-grid solar power setup? We can accommodate it all – from installing solar panels and batteries for electricity, to delivering cabins in custom colors or finishes. Our design team will work with you (we’re open to all your ideas) so that when you’re investing a substantial amount, you get it right the first time. And once your cabin is up and running, we don’t disappear – our after-sales support can provide maintenance tips, replacement parts, or upgrades (such as insulation retrofits) down the line. The goal is a long-term partnership where your cabin continues to deliver value and we’re here to help it do so.

By addressing every potential concern – from planning to installation to maintenance – Logspan ensures that adding a Finman glamping cabin to your site is an exciting, rewarding experience. Many of our customers go on to order additional cabins after seeing the success of the first!
