Cabin Lessons
spike carlsen
Many dream of building a cabin perched on the perfect spot in
the perfect place. Part building guide, part memoir, this delightful
narrative tells the story of one blended family seeking to
create an idyllic escape from the city atop a rocky, eroding cliff
overlooking Lake Superior. It is filled with the joys and hardships
they face working long weekends and navigating numerous
challenges, from making inaccessible land accessible to
designing a modest space to fit everyone’s desires. The final
result is a small cabin built with love and compromise memorialized
in wood.
