Experts say

Truly, the stuff that dreams are made of - The Spectator

Why It Made The List

In 2010, journalist and author Will Jones gave up London life to move to rural Canada with his young family. His dream was to build a remote cabin in the woods–a silent retreat from the busy modern world. This is the story of how he created the ultimate hideaway, inspired by centuries-old cabin-building practices from around the world. It's packed with practical advice and inspirational ideas for aspiring builders, giving power to the idea that with a committed plan and a bit of effort, your own woodland retreat can be more than just a pipe dream.

MORE DETAIL

Throughout history, people around the world have built cabins as homes, nature-watching huts and even follies. In recent times, many have been drawn to cabin-building by a yearning to connect with nature and spend time in the wilderness.

From the homes of indigenous peoples and the settlers of the New World to contemporary Nordic summer homes and artists’ retreats, the emotive lure of cabin-building shows no sign of abating. In this book, Will Jones explores the history and romance of cabin-building and delves into the architectural styles, vernacular idiosyncrasies and tools and techniques of historical and modern builders.

Weaving the personal story of his cabin build with illustrated practical know-how on everything from deciding on site and orientation, to foundations and interior design, Jones’s essential book is full of inspirational ideas.

The urge to escape the city and live in nature has never been stronger. Part story, part history and part practical guide, this is the ultimate read for anyone dreaming of building a cabin of their own.
