I never realized that being in the middle of a stunning vista was an essential property of being a (non-nautical) "cabin" until I started following THIS BLOG.
I'ts obvious in retrospect.
This is all very weird though. There's simply not enough land for very many people to have cabins. And if you are wealthy enough to get enough land for the stunning vista, and not be surrounded by neighbors, why not spring for some better digs?
I call this the paradox of the cabin.
