Product Description
Wouldn't life be a whole lot better if somewhere out in the wild woody yonder sat a snug little cabin with your name on the mailbox? You know it would. If you have a cabin dream, this book is your ticket to making it real. With Cabinology as your map and architect and cabinologist Dale Mulfinger as your guide, you'll know the best way to approach every decision, from choosing a site for a new cabin, to remodeling an old one, to getting exactly the right fireplace for melting away all that ails you. Cabinology doesn't just guide you, it keeps you inspired. Throughout are photos of cabins small and large, great details and design tips, stories from other cabin owners around the country, and clever insights into getting a cabin of your own.

5 out of 5 stars Thoroughly interesting and informative   December 8, 2008

I loved Dale Mulfinger's The Cabin with its great assembly of cabins in every style and price range. And Cabinology is the perfect sequel -- it gives you the examples but also tells you how to achieve a cabin for yourself. Whether you have land and money or yet just a dream, Cabinology delivers a huge value. Wonderful photographs, illustrations, to-the-point "cabiny" quotations, and interesting first-person Cabin Stories from happy cabin owners -- or just cabin lovers -- all across North America.
If you really want a cabin of your own, or are just content with the dream, get Cabinology. The name says it all.



5 out of 5 stars Get Cabin Smart Thru This Book!   December 27, 2008

This is a fully loaded book on how to build, maintain, care for and decorate your cabin. I myself do not own a cabin but bought it because my husband and I decorate our home in the "cabin/lodge" look inside as well as outside and the mere idea of this book caught my eye once I saw it at our local bookstore. I ordered it and was not sorry- only for the fact that I did'nt have a "second" house or cabin to apply more of its ideas too. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Its not something I read from page to page but rather flipped thru to parts that interested me. This author knows his stuff and will definately lead you down the right path if you choose to build a cozy cabin yourself or like me- being a person who "fiends" cabins and lodges and found it a "must have" to put in my own personal library. Well done, choke full of tons of important things to know when building or maintaining especially.

Our son-in-law is enjoying his book. They will be building a log home in the future and this has given him many ideas for that home. Sandra


4 out of 5 stars wonderful book   April 14, 2009

This is a great companion to Mulfinger's "The Cabin" book. This book has wonderful photos and sketches that detail a variety of cabin ideas and designs. Good tips for the planning and layout of a cabin. I've enjoyed every chapter. I gave four stars instead of five because I would like to know the budget for some of the cabins shown in the photos. I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in building a cabin. Thank you, Dale, for another great book.
