The evolution of the cabin
The log cabin played a fundamental role in Canadian history. Fur traders leap-frogged their way across the continent from summer outpost to winter cabin, opening up the country along the way. That history may explain our national fascination with hunkering down on a cold winter's night in a cozy room made of wood. And while the log cabin of old may have evolved into grand ski-in, ski-out mansions—and going by different names (hut, cabin, cottage, home)—there are rustic options out there for those looking for the traditional experience. Heading to a wilderness abode is a fine way to spend a winter weekend, whether its spartan or luxurious, ocean-side or mountain-top. Here are 10 to choose from, coast-to-coast.
