Cabin Porn: Inspiration for Your Quiet Place Somewhere

Cabin Porn: Inspiration for Your Quiet Place Somewhere is a visual love letter to the simple life, packed with stunning handmade cabins and hideaways from deep in the woods to the edges of the world. Born from a group of friends’ effort to build a retreat on 55 acres in Upstate New York, what started as a private scrapbook turned into a global phenomenon—showcasing cabins that stir something deep in the soul.

This book pulls together some of the most captivating photos from the wildly popular Tumblr site, along with never-before-seen cabins, cozy interiors, and new retreats from around the world. Whether nestled in pine-covered mountains, perched by lakes, or hidden in snowy backcountry, each cabin tells a story of craftsmanship, solitude, and the deep human pull toward quiet places.

Inside, you’ll find more than just beautiful photos—you’ll get real advice for setting up your own retreat, with thoughtful how-tos and inspiration for creating a space that’s simple, personal, and in harmony with the land. From rough-hewn timber frames to minimalist off-grid homes, Cabin Porn is about more than aesthetics. It’s about returning to something honest and essential.

With Zach Klein, co-founder of Vimeo and the Cabin Porn site, guiding the way, this book captures the spirit of retreat, self-reliance, and natural living. It’s for anyone who dreams of trading the buzz of city life for the hush of snow on a roof, firewood stacked by the door, and a view that never gets old.

Whether you’re looking to build your own quiet place or just get lost in the beauty of those who have, Cabin Porn offers fuel for the dream—and a gentle push toward making it real.

Editorial 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. ”
