As someone who has grown up romanticizing the log cabin life, I absolutely loved this modern cabin story. It's typical Bill Sullivan - funny, historically informative, easy to read, and entertaining. Anyone who is a fan of Bill's will enjoy learning more about his family. Anyone who is new to Bill's work will want to read more after reading this book.

Sullivan takes into his family and lets you experience the mystery, joy, and sorrow over the years of creating his cabin in the woods. Wish I could have lived this story and in reading it, in a way I did!

Sullivan has such a way. I've read all of his books and this one is just another bit of heaven!

I recently completed this book and really enjoyed it. It's an easy read, full of nature and the wilderness, challenge and adventure, humor, and a warm family story. Though it is a light read, it still has its serious passages, reflective of those things in life we all face with family. Highly recommend it to those looking for a good, quick read with the backdrop of the great Oregon wilderness. With all its animal "characters", it really is a hoot!

I love reading anything on cabins and living out in the wild. This book was very good and I really enjoyed it.

Bill Sullivan is an excellent writer and he is willing to share his family life in the cabin. This book will keep you reading. To find out what he has done with the cabin and who coming to visits in the woods. I've read all of his other books and they are outstanding.
I highly recommended his "cabin fever" book if you are an adventure and enjoy the outdoor life.

There are 2 types of people in the world: those who love the idea of living in a log cabin and those who don't. If you belong to the prior group, you'll love this book.

This book is loosely comparable to "One Man's Wilderness", a story about a man who builds a cabin in the wilds of Alaska and lives in solitude. I found this book to be much more interesting. I guess that's the difference between non-fiction and creative non-fiction?

At any rate, if you read this review Mr. Sullivan...kudos!

This is a wonderful book. It's well-written and keeps your attention throughout. You get to know the people, and to care what happens to them.

The focus is less on the hands-on pioneering, although that aspect is fascinating and enlightening, and more on the pioneering spirit. It's nice to know that the spirit is still alive.
