These 6 Secluded Tiny Cabins Will Make You Want to Unplug From It All

 

Written by Alexa Erickson

In today’s technologically-driven world, unplugging is more important than ever. If you’re like me, technology has become an essential part of your life. From the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep, technology drives my day. My cell phone serves as my morning alarm, a convenient distraction, and a time telling device (in addition to keeping me socially connected, of course), while my laptop is office, shopping mall, and cinema all in one.

It’s a little disturbing when I break it down like this, but I simply don’t live in a world where I can use pen and paper instead of a keyboard to get my work done. While there are plenty of other ways to escape the technological overload, like picking up a book when I need a break from work or life, sometimes knowing technology is at my fingertips is enough to keep me going back even when I know it’s not the right thing to do.

One of the best ways to avoid the TV, the laptop, the phone, and more, is to step into nature, where a wireless signal is near impossible to locate, and the sensory overload is the real deal. When you feel like you need to unplug, let these adorable and isolated cabins be your inspiration. From the coast of Norway to Upstate New York, these remote micro-dwellings will disconnect you from everyday life and reconnect you with nature.
