Jack and Rylie lost their jobs in 2020, moved out of California, and back to Jack’s home state of Minnesota. That’s when Jack got to work building an A-frame retreat cabin on family land. He completed the build in 7 days for well under $2,500.
The cabin is primarily a “glamping” set-up, with a twin-sized bed, couch, propane cooktop, and wood stove. They typically come to this spot for weekend stays, and love getting away from it all.

Brilliant! That pretty much sums it up for me. Great use of material and a small space !Love the simplicity, functionality and how you personalized your cabin . When out camping, I love to sit by a fire or just out in the sun and have my whisky drink too! and just enjoy nature.
Nice work guys!
