I loved Dale Mulfinger's The Cabin with its great assembly of cabins in every style and price range. And Cabinology is the perfect sequel -- it gives you the examples but also tells you how to achieve a cabin for yourself. Whether you have land and money or yet just a dream, Cabinology delivers a huge value. Wonderful photographs, illustrations, to-the-point "cabiny" quotations, and interesting first-person Cabin Stories from happy cabin owners -- or just cabin lovers -- all across North America.
If you really want a cabin of your own, or are just content with the dream, get Cabinology. The name says it all.

This is a great companion to Mulfinger's "The Cabin" book. This book has wonderful photos and sketches that detail a variety of cabin ideas and designs. Good tips for the planning and layout of a cabin. I've enjoyed every chapter. I gave four stars instead of five because I would like to know the budget for some of the cabins shown in the photos. I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in building a cabin. Thank you, Dale, for another great book.

Love it! Didn't know that a book could know "me" so well!
I could use more pictures but the story in this book is
truly the real thing.

A must have for anyone building or dreaming of building a cabin
I gave this book five stars because I bought it before I built. Now that the cabin is done this book isn't as useful.
That said this book is amazing. Read more

You'll still need a "how to" book but this is a start
Let me begin by saying this is one of the most useful books out there on cabins.
However, it is not a book that tells you "how to build a cabin" or that gives you... Read more

Excellent book on subject. Great photography. I had some problem reading "blue ink" descriptions or picture comments. I suggest using black ink next printing. Read more
