Dreams of reliving childhood inspired the latest model in a series of new Russell cabins on the wooded banks of Lake Martin. Named for its varied levels of outdoor living space, the Verandas on May 30 made its debut in the line of upscale cabins with a down-home design. Residential designer Bill Farshee said this year’s reveal pays homage to the original Russell cabin with its nostalgic design and intimate setting but includes modern accommodations for families that gather at the lake today.

“This cabin design functions like the original Russell cabins, but with more space,” Farshee explained. “From the approach, you can see that this cabin brings back a look that connects us to the past, reminds us of our childhoods.”
