Designed by architect Clare Walton, Martis Camp House consists of four gable forms divided by stone-clad volumes.

In the living room, the original carpet was ripped up and replaced with hardwood flooring.
The upper floor of one of the cabins features a wood-burning stove, beanbag chairs, and a hanging paper lantern.
