The Cabin: Inspiration for the Classic American Getaway

My son loved receiving this book. It's a beautiful book that feeds his dream of someday owning his own cabin.

HALF PRICE BOOKS,Book in perfect condition. Great photography. UNFORTUNATELY the musty smell wafting from every page made it impossible to enjoy. Flipping through the pages fanned the odor and made our eyebrows hit our hairline.Not returning because it was so inexpensive.Will try sealing it inside a plastic container with a box of Baking Soda.

Gosh, how to capture what I feel about Mr Mulfingers books? I bought all three books over two years ago now by Mr Mulfinger; The Cabin, Back to the Cabin and Cabinology as my cabin fever begun to swell in me and I was seriously considering buying a little place in Utah of my own. Well, two years later, with a whole lot of sacrifice, dedication, sweat, tears and some blood, I have a property of my own and Mr Mulfingers books are the center pieces of my bookshelf. All three of the books I would say are a must for anyone looking for inspiration for their cabin, or harboring a secret dream of having one. The Cabin will keep you company on chilly evenings and lazy mornings. It inspires and fires the imagination over possibilities that exist if you do wonder whether owning a piece of land with a little cabin in the wilderness is something for you. From personal experience, it changes your life. It was one of the best decisions I have done in my life. Mr Mulfingers books really help in bringing your lose thoughts down to earth, with a structure of confidence that you can really buy property, at what ever stage of life and financial situation you are in. Thank you.

This book if full of wonderful cabins and insights of those that built or developed them. I enjoyed reading it immensely and it will remain in my library always. A few months after getting the book, I was able to buy a cabin on a lake in Minnesota. I used several of the ideas that I saw in the book for my cabin. One of the cabins profiled had interior walls that were painted green. The gentleman that owned this particular property thought that darker colored walls tended to focus people's eyes on the windows and outdoor scenery. I immediately painted the stark white walls in my cabin and have received many compliments of the new pine green color. This is just one of many examples that can be found in the book. From the most basic and modest to the most ornate and spectacular, this book profiles them all.A word of caution, however. Once you get this book, you will yearn for a cabin of your own.

If you can sit and read through this book and not feel that somewhat primal pull inside to have your own cabin, you’re a different cat than me.Very nice pictorial of 37 really cool places.Visually appealing photos and excellent concise descriptions of each cabin.A few good pictures, a floor plan and a short description of the owners, location and building of the home.I finished and was left just wanting more.It’s my hope and dream to have a small place like the ones shown someday in the not too distant future.Excellent coffee table book.Very highly recommendThanks for reading

Soulful expressions capturing the essence of a cabin. Bought this coffee table book and it inspired the creation of our family cabin. Many ideas and concepts w/beautiful photography accompanying the story’s and emotions evoked by the cabins profiled. Nicely done and thanks!

This is a wonderful book for multiple reasons. First, it's inspirational if you are considering a cabin or smaller space. This is not a "how to" book, but rather a philosophical look at what makes a cabin, well what make a structure a cabin. It has a variety of cabins, all under 1300 feet ranging from relatively tiny, quirky, to beautiful and functional. This is more of a "coffee table book" than a construction guide. In fact, there's nothing related to construction other than in the pictures or perhaps some detail of a specific cabin's history. If you're in love with cabins, this is a book you need. If you're not in love with cabins, prepare to be.

I had hope for a book with the wilderness tastet of the "cabin". Not so, many of the cabins were not really cabins but high dollor summer homes. This is an architecture book, not so much for the nature lover. After a couple of times reading through, I relegated the book to the coffee table for dust control. Nice pictures.

Is a great book, full of beautiful pictures and wonderful ideas. I recommendnit if you are looking for ideas for your log cabin.
