Cabin Porn

Product Description

Rural escapes for those yearning for a simpler existence, by the creators of the wildly popular tumblr Cabin Porn.

Created by a group of friends who preserve 55 acres of hidden forest in Upstate New York, Cabin Porn began as a scrapbook to collect inspiration for their building projects. As the collection grew, the site attracted a following, which is now a huge and obsessive audience.

The site features photos of the most remarkable handmade homes in the backcountry of America and all over the world. It has had over 10 million unique visitors, with 350,000 followers on Tumblr. Now Zach Klein, the creator of the site (and a co-founder of Vimeo) goes further into the most alluring images from the site and new getaways, including more interior photography and how-to advice for setting up a quiet place somewhere.

With their idyllic settings, unique architecture and cozy interiors, the Cabin Porn photographs are an invitation to slow down, take a deep breath, and feel the beauty and serenity that nature and simple construction can create.

Burn Your Possessions and Move to the Woods
by Daniel Dumas (5 out of 5 stars)

Remember that time you read Walden your sophomore year and vowed you'd stop wearing deodorant and live a life closer to nature only to get sucked into that marketing internship because Uncle Bob owed your mom and favor and now you're an account executive at a nameless corporation that you secretly hate and every now and then you look wistfully out the window and dream of what it would be like to live (you know like really live, man) out in the forest where you chop wood and catch fish and make moonshine and wear clothes that last forever never go out of style and you wake up at dawn and howl at the moon at night and your house is this beautiful cabin that you built yourself with a pot of strong coffee on the stove and dried elk meat in the storehouse and you have everything you ever wanted as you puff your pipe on the porch during a warm summer night and you breath the cool air and the fireflies illuminate the dusk and you pause and you remember the exact instant when you decided to press reset on your old life and start over again.

It was when you bought Cabin Porn.

Come for the photography but stay for the stories!

Like most fans of the blog, I expected to see breathtaking photos of cabins against familiar and exotic backdrops, but have also enjoyed the stories of how these cabins came to be. The stops and starts, the 'bite off more than you can chew' challenges will ring true for any DIYer, but it's also full of interesting solves like a Maine hostel that heats its outdoor shower by coiling plumbing through a compost pile.

This is a beautifully crafted and curated book, with material and photos culled from the blog of the same name. This book is the perfect antidote to a day of urban angst. Sit back and dream of your own special escape. Great photos, and some interesting and insightful writing to browse. This is an excellent coffee table book, and makes a really hip, beautiful gift for almost all relations.

Good ideas and good read.

I bought this for my husband. He has build two cabins now on our property. This books has great ideas and stories of folks that have build cabins and outdoor shelters. Although I bought for my husband, I read the book. The author starts out telling about the piece of property he bought and how his friends have come up to build more cabins, a hot tub with water running from the creek and a sauna with firewood stove. Good stories follow through the book.

Far better than expected!!

I bought this book as a gift for someone else and then accidentally decided to quickly page through it. Oops! I totally got sucked in, reading at least three quarters of the book before finally wrapping it up and sending it off. The gift recipient called when he got it and just raved about it. Neat book, highly entertaining and way fun. Great pictures. Very, very real stuff, not made up.

Can't go wrong if you love the outdoors.

I bought this book as a gift for my outdoorsy friend, and he loved it. We've spent hours sitting on the deck sipping scotch (Laphroaig, of course), paging through the book and talking about cabins, locations, building things with your hands, and the outdoors. That sounds incredibly pretentious, but if you've got a healthy appreciation of the outdoors and rustic living, this book is a great way to relax and pass some time.

The imagery is beautiful and the descriptions of various locales and cabin styles are an interesting read.

Came in perfect condition! Great book if you love looking at cabins. Has tons of photos of different kinds of cabins in different locations, and also has information about building things that would be useful when living in a cabin. It is a great book that would make a great gift for someone who is interested on going on a vacation into the woods or for someone that loves nature.

This book is full of beautiful pictures of cabins. I dream of having a piece of isolated property with my own little hideaway on it and this book has provided a bunch of inspiring ideas from cabins that others have built.
