Are you yearning for a simpler existence? Find the rural escape of your dreams in this beautiful book from 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"What's surprised me about this book is how moving it is. It's sweet to look at beautiful photos of woodsy cabins; it's calming and the pictures are lovely. But the stories about the work behind the cabins - that's the magic. "

Don't be put off by the title....

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

Don't; I guess it's a 'tongue-in-cheek' pitch for a book (title) that lives up to it's metaphoric reference actually quite well, in that it excites, titillates, makes you itch, drool, and wonder, by all the beautiful imagery presented here categorically, just for a moment, but at the same time manages to strike deep chords and evoke equal desires in its readers / onlookers, for a big part by the personal stories (approx. 10) that highlight and explain the pertaining projects more in detail, all the while almost exclusively with photographic material. Btw; my copy doesn't even show any title on the front cover; just on the binding in small print.

Although knowledge is being transmitted for the 10 'case-studies' by way of text, this is no 'how-to' book, and hardly any drawing is presented (nor for that matter, surprisingly, even ever created by the 'cabin people', it appears). Projects will 'speak' to each person differently, and which one resonates most, as well. Being an Architect myself, and having had my history creating places from the days of my youth onward in similar veins as shown here in this book, the one that 'hits home' with me personally most is the 'Modern' in the desert of Arizona; it leaves me in total awe.

I could go on but hope you get the gist.

Last but not least; on a practical level; on the reporting by other, less generously rating reviewers due to disappointment in size, print, etc.; do not judge based on that, but instead contact your seller. The first copy I received was smaller than expected, but after contacting the seller, was refunded, and was able to purchase another, but (original) hardcopy size (of approx 8x10); I knew I had to see this book in the bigger size in order for these tiny projects to 'come out' (not in the least because the surrounding landscape plays such an integral part in its characterization). The photography is simply breath-taking. Do yourself (and others) a favor:)

Perfect for lovers of cabins and small houses

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

“Cabin Porn,” edited by Zach Klein, with photos by Noah Kalina, and featuring stories by Steven Leckart, has become one of my favorite books. It’s largely a book of photographs (hence the saucy title), but unlike other books of photos, it isn’t a large-format “coffee table book,” which means I can more easily have it to browse on my office desk or nightstand. If you love cabins, and lust to build or have one of your own, this book is for you.

The book is divided into nine sections, covering topics like bungalows, bunkhouses, treehouses, simple shelters, and yurts. These features are invariably well written, interesting, and feature people you’d like to get to know and hang out with. Each of the feature stories is followed by archives of photos related to the topic. Those photos are really the heart of the book, and they are simply captivating. The paper is thick, which I like, and the finish is matte, and though the photographs have great definition, the colors are often over-saturated. (A good comparison in terms of the color, finish, and paper is the Taschen series of photo books; but this one is superior to Taschen in quality.)

The title of the book is named after the related website established by Zach Klein of the Beaver Brook School. It’s my least favorite thing about the book. Although I know that the word “porn” has been playfully adapted for years for other uses like “food porn,” I think 21st century sensitivity to sexual exploitation represented by the word “porn” makes it less appropriate now. That aside, this book is amazing.

Burn Your Possessions and Move to the Woods

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2015

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.

Type and photos are far to small to enjoy

I was so looking forward to the arrival of this paperback! Unfortunately, it is practically illegible because the format of the book is too small. My budget didn't allow me to purchase the hardcover book, but the paperback is not worth the cost.

Bought as a gift -- went over great!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this as a holiday gift for my mother, who recently acquired a small patch of woods and is dreaming of what to build on it. I had just stumbled on the book through a quick search on Amazon and crossed my fingers she'd like it... luckily, she was thrilled. She said she'd been following the authors online for a while and that they were very famous/popular. The photos were gorgeous, the stories fun & compelling to read, and I found myself sneaking peaks to try to read it for myself. A hit! Highly recommended, lovely book.

A truly excellent coffee table book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

What I class as a coffee table book: something that is easy to pick up and put down, is aesthetically pleasing both inside and out and small enough not to dominate the surface of a table.

This is all of those things.

From the start you can read numerous short stories about people and their cabins. Sometimes theses span their entire lives, sometimes not. They are often heartwarming and funny and provide unique insights into cabin living. You can probably finish each story in the time you have a coffee/tea.

The book itself is almost pocket sized (pictured). It is just bigger than two small coasters and is very appealing to look at due to the sheer edges and photography on the cover.

The photography inside the book is truly wonderful (inside cover pictured). Even if you didn't read the entire book (I must admit I skipped the part on making maple syrup) it would be worth it just for the photography.

Lovely little book for escapism.

Truly breath taking

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

Upon reading the title I thought that it was going to be a joke, but upon reading this after I originally got it for someone as a gift, I can say that it is a book that actually opens up the creative department of your brain when it comes to log cabins and interior design.

The story interestingly covers tumblr and how it began. I don’t want to spoil it. But for a book about cabins it is actually a good read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 12, 2020

I wanted this for a while but have to admit that the version I got didn't have the best print. Quite a lot of the photos in it are very dark. Maybe it was just my copy. I got the softback/ paper version. I will buy again but will get the hard-cover version. Other than that I would recommend Cabin Porn. (The Best Porn)

Not sure about the title but this book is a great guide for people interested in living in the great outdoors and becoming self sufficient. Includes different building techniques, materials and structures. Thoughtfully too some of the challenges to be aware of with the lifestyle are flagged up. All in all a fabulous book filled with timely advice and superb images.

Inspirational and fun

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 2, 2016

This is a great read if you like building things, it's an inspirational rather than practical book. As others have said, the photos look better on the Internet site but the book provides context and is great for the coffee table (the title need a bit of explaining though :-)
