These Rentable Cabins Are So Gorgeous, They’re Part of a Coffee Table Book

Salt Lake City–based JJ Eggers has a thing for the outdoors and a passion for charming, cozy cabins. A few years ago, he started posting photos on Instagram of his favorite hideaways amid their spectacular, far-flung settings. In no time Eggers discovered a whole community of cabin-obsessed folks. His popular Instagram page, @TheCabinChronicles, has amassed more than half a million followers and counting. 

It's the kind of feed that makes you want to go places—and now you can, thanks to Eggers's new book, Cabin Tripping: Where to Get Away from It All (Artisan; $24.95). The volume showcases a global smorgasbord of more than 80 inviting escapes on forested mountains, in tropical paradises, and even in remote deserts. 

Each site featured is available to rent, making Cabin Tripping an irresistible wish book for travelers seeking a quiet respite while surrounded by incredible natural scenery. 

Scroll on to see a selection of gorgeous images from the book. 

Cabin Tripping is a collaboration between Eggers and Frommer's author and editor Alexis Lipsitz.

Here's one place you'll actually want to see wolves at your door.

Wolf Lodge, pictured here, is one of several roomy accommodations with lupine views. All cabins are outfitted with rustic wood furnishings and modern comforts. The park also has a self-drive safari trail for cars. Along the way, you can feed native deer and spot moose and other Canadian wildlife.
