Welcome to Gilded Wilderness! We’re dedicated to giving you the very best in our adventures of our do-it-yourself cabin project. To sum up, our site is about creating a home in the wilderness. Accordingly, nature, fresh air, and serenity inspire us to find our home in the wilderness. Fish swim in the lake. Birds sing their morning songs. We co-exist with nature and create our home amongst the foliage that abounds. Each season brings with it different treasures to enjoy. Can there be anything more refreshing?

My husband and I love a quiet, peaceful getaway from the busy workweek. During one such getaway, we came up with our idea about our cabin project. Accordingly, we are thrilled to share our passion with you. And thus, we put our journey here so that you can use this information to start your own cabin project, too.

More about our cabin project

Nowadays, we work jam-packed schedules, with long hours, and grueling days. However, all of us need time to recharge our batteries and appreciate the world around us. What better way to do it? Spending time in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, helps us to step back and enjoy our lives more. Just like this picture demonstrates, the world has so much beauty to offer, if we only stop to look closely enough.

Accordingly, we’ve chosen our building site in beautiful, northern Michigan. If you’ve ever seen those “Pure Michigan” commercials, it’s every bit as beautiful as if it were about our cabin project. In fact, there is almost too much to list. First, gorgeous sunrises on the shore. Second, beautiful lakes and beaches. Third, all the wildlife to observe. Fourth, fish ready for the catching. Fifth, a campfire crackling with warm earthiness on a quiet evening. Have you ever been there? If not, you should really see it for yourself.

Finally, we hope you enjoy our blog. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us.
