- Created website of cabins that ended up with more than ten million unique visitors and 350,000 followers on Tumblr
- Site creator and Vimeo co-founder Zach Klein wrote book - Cabin Porn: Inspiration for Your Quiet Place Somewhere
A project that began when a group of friends began keeping a scrapbook featuring photos of their favorite remote cabins has gotten pornographic...
Not in a literal sense, but the photos did inspire a new book - Cabin Porn: Inspiration for Your Quiet Place Somewhere.
Author Zach Klein, who co-founded Vimeo, first created a website of the photos that ended up with more than ten million unique visitors and 350,000 followers on Tumblr.
Tea kettle house: This unique structure in Galveston, Texas, is just one of many that Zach Klein has chronicled in the Cabin Porn series
Experience: Klein drew on his experience building cabins on a 50-acre site in upstate New York called Beaver Brook to help with his book
Flip this house: This cabin in Oberweisenthal, Germany, is built into the side of a hill in a way that really makes it stand out
No neighbors: This home at the Three Fingers Mountain Lookout in the Baker River Wilderness in Washington truly stands alone
In addition to photos from the Cabin Porn Tumblr, Klein's book features 'how-to advice for setting up a quiet place somewhere'.
Zach Klein's new book Cabin Porn was released last month
According to the publisher: 'With their idyllic settings, unique architecture and cozy interiors, the Cabin Porn photographs, are an invitation to slow down, take a deep breath, and feel the beauty and serenity that nature and simple construction can create.'
Klein drew on his experience building cabins on a 50-acre site in upstate New York called Beaver Brook to help with the book, Curbed reported.
He explained in an interview how the book differs from the Cabin Porn blog: 'Although the site is prolific, it's fairly one-dimensional.
'Each entry features only an image, brief description, location, and a credit to the submitter.
'Our brevity results from a decision we made a long time ago that we would never make the blog something more than we could maintain ourselves with the time we had on hand. In other words, the format is designed so that we always have enough time to keep it up.
'So many great blogs die because they're too ambitious.
'The trade-off is that over the years, we've missed many opportunities to tell great stories about the people who made these buildings.
'The book was our chance to do that, our reconciliation for the stories we didn't tell. So that's what we made.
'Ten great stories about ten great, handmade places. And hundreds of great images, too, of course.
Home base: This cabin on the property in New York that Klein is so familiar with was built with lumber that was cut and milled onsite
Isolated: This cabin in Germany near the Austrian border might be a lonely place to live but it would also be a pretty spot to call home
Cozy: The inside of this property at the Fforest Camp near Cardigan, Wales, has a number of comforts that make it seem appealing
Sunken in: Visitors to this boathouse on the Obersee in Bavaria, Germany, might want to bring along some waterproof boots or shoes
Mystical: This cabin along a Bosnian river was converted from a watermill by a Serbian whose father owned and operated other mills
Standing tall: This cabin at the 6,500-summit of Black Butte near Sisters, Oregon, might boast the best views in the entire state
