We're big fans of tiny homes here at Inhabitat, so you can imagine our delight when we came across Cabin Porn's collection of little isolated shelters from all around the world. From the stone-clad Muir Hut in the California mountains to the mini ice-fishing shacks of Quebec, check out our roundup of our favorite small sustainable shelters in the middle of nowhere.

Muir Trail Hut in California

Muir Trail Hut stands at 12,059 feet high within the California rocky peaks and is one of the trail’s greatest landmarks. Made entirely from local stone and built in 1930 by the Sierra Club of California, this humble yet strong shelter blends perfectly into the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Slab Wood Shelter in Connecticut

Made by artist Dave Sinaguglia, this rough and ready shelter uses slab wood offcuts. Located in a beautiful pine tree forest near Hartford, Connecticut, this shelter is a great place to find some solitude and inspiration.

Dovecote Studio in Suffolk

Dovecote Studio on the Suffolk coast is built inside the remains of an old Victorian dovecote. Designed by Haworth Tompkins Studio, this highly contrasting shelter now houses the Aldeburgh Music School‘s studio.
