The Detail
Cabin Porn, a photographic escape to somewhere quieter
What began as a shared archive of cabin photographs among friends became one of the internet's most-loved collections. This is the book of it: handmade cabins, tree houses, converted vehicles and off-grid retreats, photographed in remote settings, with the stories of the people who built them.
It is a book to lose an hour in rather than read cover to cover, and it makes a genuinely good gift for anyone quietly planning their own escape.
Key Features
- Hundreds of photographs of handmade and off-grid retreats from around the world.
- Ranges from tree houses to converted vehicles to small timber cabins.
- Includes the story of Beaver Brook, the property where the project started.
- 336-page hardcover, photographed throughout.
Pure Standard
- Building small, with what is to hand. Every cabin in here was made by someone with more resourcefulness than budget. That is the same instinct behind a low-tox home: use less, choose better, make it yourself where you can.
- The one people do not put down. It is a book to lose an hour in rather than read through, which is exactly what makes it work as a gift.
- Publisher surplus, rescued rather than pulped. These are overprint copies that would otherwise have been destroyed. It is also why our price sits well under what the hardcover normally sells for in Australia.
- Paper and board throughout. No plastic jacket, no shrink wrap, nothing to peel off and bin.
- Honest about condition. Surplus copies may carry a publisher's marker line on a page edge and light shelfwear. The photography and text are complete and unaffected, and we would rather tell you up front than have you find it.

Our Take
Every cabin in here was built by someone with more resourcefulness than budget, out of whatever the site gave them. That is the same instinct behind a low-tox home: use less, choose better, make it yourself where you can. It is also the book people pick up in the shop and do not put down.
