I love this small guest home near Navidad, Chile, by Aata Architects. It looks so simple, like it could almost be built in a weekend. But the inside is warm and inviting, and the deck looks perfect for watching the sun set with a glass of wine.

This small cabin is described by the architects as “essentially a wooden tent on a platform that opens to the forest and river”. It’s beautiful the way the cabin opens up – there’s very little barrier to the outside.

This delightful little summer cabin has it all. It’s built from local wood and reused windows, and the forest even grows through part of the roof! It’s perfectly small and cosy, plus has an amazing view. I love it.

Wow. There’s a lot to love with this one. The thatched roof on the patio (with a hammock, of course). The way the house blends right in to the landscape. But mostly check out that pool. That is one of the coolest pools I have ever seen!

This lovely little weekend cabin is in rural Hennepin, Illinois, surrounded by farmland. Surprisingly modern, it’s a great example of how you can truly live where you want with what you want.

This tiny little home has some great features considering it’s only 388 sq. ft. The woodwork is wonderful, and the use of bunk bends definitely conserves space. If nothing else, this would be great as a temporary cabin until design/construction of something more permanent is completed.
This house in Sweden looks beautiful on the outide, and has some wonderful architectural bits on the inside that make it a must-bookmark.

Wow, this is awesome. It’s used as a small home office, but I can’t see it being used as a small cabin, too. The images speak for themselves, really. I’m just in awe.
