Romantic Retreat in the Dandenong Mountains
About
One of the earlier homes built in the Ranges, this unique century old Mountain Ash Log Cabin has been extended and updated over the years to create an enchanting haven to call home whether it’s for a night, a weekend or forever. One of the three remaining log cabins built by pioneer Jack Dodd (another being Kelly’s Hotel in Mt Dandenong). Often, you’ll be above the clouds or among them adding to the cathartic ambience. The romantic log-lined lounge hosts a cozy wood fire with a glass of love.
Good to know
An inviting sunroom greets with bountiful winter sun where you can watch the weather roll in as you curl up with your favourite book or ponder a chess move. Often, you’ll be above the clouds or among them adding to the cathartic ambience. A grand open stone fireplace in the romantic log-lined lounge hosts a cozy wood fire and an updated kitchen preserves the past with an ornamental coal burner complemented by modern stainless-steel appliances. A sunny courtyard flows from the sunroom and the master bedroom providing an ideal spot for your morning brew and outdoor entertaining with friends! Refresh in the updated bathroom with a captivating invisible door, relaxing clawfoot bath, double shower and stained-glass accents.
