A Rustic Cabin

Part natural history, part memoir, and part practical advice, "A Rustic Cabin" is the entertaining first-person account of one man’s dream of owning a cabin near a rushing trout stream in the Pacific Northwest.

After searching the slopes of northeastern Oregon’s Blue Mountains for years, author Dennis Dauble stumbles upon a circa 1940 log cabin located inside a former dude ranch-cum-hot springs resort in the Umatilla River canyon.

Through it all — the many fix-ups, a 100-year flood, passing of loved ones — some two decades of ownership have passed with, the author writes, no regrets but rather a wealth of warm experiences and memories. The love of place and family that "A Rustic Cabin" shares will raise your spirit and fill your heart with delight.
