There’s something timeless about a family cabin. A place where stories are told, memories are made, and traditions are passed down. This Minnesota lake home remodel was designed to honor those family roots while giving the cabin a fresh new look with durable, high-quality materials.
Bold Windows and Doors
Natural light and lake views take center stage with a 12’ Marvin Ultimate Sliding French Door in an Ebony exterior and White interior finish. Paired with Marvin Essential windows, also in the Ebony/White combination, the cabin has a clean, modern look.
For a welcoming entry, the front door features a stained Wild Cherry exterior, Kordella glass, and a warm Tear Drop interior finish. It’s a combination that balances beauty and durability.
Durable Siding Choices
The exterior features an 8” Diamond Kote lap siding in Onyx. This gives the cabin a sleek, bold presence against the natural landscape. To add character and warmth, 5” Vesta siding in Gilded Grain was used as an accent on the dormers and front porch gable. Onyx trim ties the look together with clean lines and lasting strength.
A Roof Designed to Last
Durability was key in this remodel. The main roof features GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Charcoal, known for both performance and style. On the front porch and dormers, a 16” Snap Lock metal roof with a Crinkle Black finish adds texture and a modern accent.
Decking for Outdoor Living
No family cabin is complete without a space to gather outdoors. This project features AZEK Landmark Series decking in the Boardwalk color. It offers the beauty of natural wood with the low-maintenance durability of composite materials. This decking creates a welcoming spot to enjoy morning coffee, evening sunsets, and everything in between.
Finishing Details
The look is completed with 16” EDCO Center Vent Soffit in Black and 6” EDCO Fascia in Black, providing ventilation and protection with a streamlined finish.
Built for Family, Built to Last
This remodel blends tradition with modern performance, creating a family cabin retreat that’s ready for generations to come. Every material was chosen for beauty, durability, and timeless appeal. Perfect for making new memories at the lake.
