Product Description
Everyone dreams of having a cabin in the woods-a wood-hewn structure with all (or, at least many of) the amenities of home-tucked away on a mountaintop with an awe-inspiring view, or nestled on the shore of a trout-filled stream or bass-laden lake. Most people also believe that such a dream house is just that-the stuff of dreams-not affordable, not buildable without hiring a construction crew.
Author J. Wayne Fears is here to tell you that such a dream cabin can be yours-at a price that won't break the bank. And he knows because he has done it himself. In this, a guidebook to make dreams become reality, Fears covers-in words, photos, diagrams, and blueprints-all the important points, from buying the land, to planning your structure, to actually doing it-either on your own, or with some help. With special chapters on keeping your cabin clean and pest-free, as well as with valuable information on maintenance and repair, this book is one that every cabin owner-or potential owner-will keep as a reference for years to come.

 Fabulous book for beginners and those looking for new ideas July 5, 2008

I loved this book. I bought it for my father for christmas, then bought one for myself. I actually read it front to back (like a novel), it's so well-written. Even though my dream cabin is financially a few years off and geographically a few more, I will be following many of the guidelines set out in this book, with some more green ideas (solar panels, reusing water, etc). I would recommend this to anyone wanting to build a cabin of their own, or just know more about them. Great book for anyone. I loved it.
Backwood Cabin Wisdom June 9, 2008
Refreshing approach to cabin-making and cabin living. A clue: nothing over 1000 sq. ft. is a cabin. Those interested in palatial McCabins need not bother. Practical advice on building or purchasing a small rustic cabin- planning, furnishing and maintaining. Also tips on cabin living- with or without electricity or running water! Highly recommended.

If you are interested in building a cabin one day, already own a cabin, or simply a dreamer like me, this book will be most beneficial to you.
I have read a few books on cabins and this one is by far the best. I recieved this book less than a week ago and had all 200 pages or so read in two days, and I've only finished a few books to the end in my life time.
I highly suggest this book. Everything about it is practical and not one sided.

The book was very helpful. It was packed with much needed information for would be cabin builders. The photos could have been better and there wasn't alot of actual building or construction information about cabins. It did make me think about most of what has to be done if your really going to build a cabin some where. There were lots of adresses for places you can go to to get additional information about building and owning a cabin.

I bought and read at least 5 different books on cabins and this one by far was the best, most informative and hence most useful of them all.
