A couple in Fort William have build their own log cabin designed like a ski chalet near the largest mountain in the UK, Ben Nevis.
Jack Ferguson, 53, who works for his family business transporting logs, and his partner Penny Laird, a theatre nurse, decided to make "Archwood Lodge" to remind them of their passion for snowboarding.
Theself buildhas a lodge-like style with large wooden beams running throughout the property, so take a look below for a tour of this property.
Inspired by a love of snowboarding
Jack and Penny built the home for their family, with Jack's son Archie, their two cats, and their sausage dog, but Jack also says the home was inspired by his love of snowboarding.
Jack says the home, which featured onScotland's Home of the Year, reminds him of the Alps stating the home "makes him feel like he's on holiday everyday."
Property looks out onto Ben Nevis
Jack says it was "always my dream" to build a log house, which he finally did in his hometown of Fort William in The Scottish Highlands.
Fort William sits right next to Ben Nevis, giving "Archwood Lodge" fantastic views of the UK's highest peak from its balcony. Jack says he now sits and watches the extraordinary view every morning while having his coffee.
As well as the views, the two-storey home has three bedrooms, an office,wooden flooringthroughout and an open plan kitchen-diner.
'Tried to bring the outside inside'
"Archwood Lodge" brings the outside indoors and Jack and Penny’s scenic garden often plays host to ceilidh dancing when friends and family visit.
But while they incorporate nature into the build, they have made every effort to ensure the timber cabin remains wonderfully snug inside with alog burning stoveand insulation using foil faced foam board.
The internal balcony study area also allows the family to still have the views of the outdoors in the winter with Penny claiming the home "allows us to be outside and still enjoy the space, but obviously from under cover."
