20 of the coolest holiday cabins in Europe

From Scandinavian rustic-luxe to floating eco-cabins in the south of France, we pick cosy and stylish hideaways in forests and lakeland

For Big Foot types who want to occasionally come out of the forest to visit the Hendersons, the Stayokay Hostel Apeldoorn offers the best of both worlds: a designer cabin in woodlands on the edge of the small city of Apeldoorn in the Veluwe, a region known for its nature reserves, lakes and Hanseatic towns. The cabin is an off-the-shelf Wikkelhouse – wikkelen being the Dutch word for cardboard – which these sustainable, biodegradable tiny houses with glass facades incorporate in their structure, along with flax and wood. This one is livened up with colourful furniture.
