Cabin Clipart Pictures

Cabins are small, rustic houses typically built in rural locations as shelter or temporary living quarters. The word originates from a Native American word meaning “to dwell”. Early pioneers built simple log cabins as they settled new frontiers across America. Today, cabins are popular as recreational properties to enjoy nature and outdoor activities.

Types of Cabins

Regional cabin styles include:

Log cabins – Made of stacked logs; common in wooded eastern areas
A-frames – Steeply angled triangle frames suited for snow
Lake cabins – Near freshwater fishing spots
Rustic farmhouse style – Stone or wood cabins on large rural properties
Tiny houses – Compact and eco-friendly

Cabin Interiors

Typical cabin decor features natural wood paneling and floors, stone fireplaces, plush rugs, antler chandeliers and leather furniture. Kitchens tend to be modest with rustic cabinets and appliances. Lighting is often pendant lamps or lanterns. Quilt blankets and comfy pillows make wood framed beds cozy. Bathrooms have walk-in showers, wood vanities and toilets. Wall decor ranges from mounted snowshoes, framed nature photos to deer antler mounts.

Cabin Construction Materials

Building materials include:

Logs – Stacked horizontally and sealed for insulation
Wood – Pine, cedar and redwood have natural resistance to decay
Stone – Native fieldstone or quarried types like slate or granite
Insulation – Fibreglass batts, rigid foam boards, double pane windows

Foundation options range from concrete blocks and poured footings to pier footings made of stone, concrete or treated wood posts set deep into the ground below the frost line.

Off-the-Grid Cabins

Modern sustainable building allows taking cabins beyond public electric, water and sewer hookups:

Electric – Solar panels to charge batteries stores power
Water – Well water or collected rain water filtration
Waste – Composting toilets, greywater recycling and septic field disposal

This self-sufficient approach works nicely for remote wilderness cabins.

Notable Cabin Destinations

Renting A Cabin vs. Owning One

Rentals mean less commitment for occasional vacations to experience different destinations, but limited ability to customize at your own expense.

Ownership enables creative customization with cost benefits over decades of repeat visits…though higher upfront investment and year-round responsibilities.

Cabin Leisure Activities

Classic cabin pastimes include fireside relaxation, playing board/card games, grilling, stargazing and exploring nature by:

Fishing and ice fishing
Kayaking, canoeing and boating
Hunting seasons from blinds or tree stands
Wildlife watching and birding
Foraging fruits, mushrooms or maple syrup
Hiking wooded trails, cross-country skiing or snow-shoeing

Pure, simple fun away from daily grind!

Maintaining a Cabin

Annual maintenance like weatherproofing, pest control, generator/fireplace/chimney testing aims to prevent severe damage. Check for: cracks; leaks; critter, rodent or insect infiltration; drainage issues; roof and wall structural integrity; landscape overgrowth; etc. Consider caretakers to maintain cabins between visits.
