This rustic yet modern lakeside cabin escape was designed by NewHeritage in collaboration with Tays & Co Design Studios, located on Upper Gull Lake in Nisswa, Minnesota. This cabin getaway is an escape for a couple with grown children whose main residence is in the Twin Cities. They have owned this property since 2012 and have transformed it into a family summer retreat.
Also on this property is a kid’s house next door to the cabin, an Airbnb, and even a freestanding pub for entertaining. Inside this home, rustic materials are mixed with a more clean, refined aesthetic. Overall, this home is a reflection of both the homeowner’s style tastes, creating a balance of simplicity and timelessness. Continue below to see the inside of this breathtaking home…
