“When I purchased this cabin it was deemed as a teardown. While no one else saw the potential, I jumped on the opportunity to save the cabin and I immediately began sprucing the place up. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on some original photos of the man who built the cabin from the 1960s which gave me an idea of what the land and original cabin looked like. Aside from the functional repairs, I decided I would restore the property to its original glory — how the original owner may have intended it to look. After six months of improvements, my labour of love had paid off — I named the cabin ‘Pantalodge’ (after my last name) and claim it as my own. Most of the improvements were made to the interior and were subtle and respected the original integrity of the log cabin, but one of the greatest improvements that I made was creating a stronger relationship between cabin and land; this was achieved through landscape embellishments and opening up some of the original views of the surrounding Blue Mountains.”
