...in 2004 after a trip to the Big Moose Lodge in the Adirondacks.  My wife and I took an October weekend to kick back and ended up coming home with an idea to open an online rustic decor shop.  After returning it wasn't long before I set up a Sole Proprietorship registered in New York State, and ordered my first shipment of goods.  The items went up for sale just in time for Christmas and sold out very quickly! 

This web site has been a fun hobby and secondary income source for my family - helping to fund memorable times with my wife and three boys.  As you can see from my product selection I've taken on many lines and continue to expand.  I've had a lot of fun working with customers and hearing your stories about new cabins being built or bought, bears and moose that visit the camp, great fishing excursions and rooms filled to the roof with rustic stuff! 

Thank you for visiting Cabin Basics online and looking over my catalog.  I would appreciate your business and intend to make your shopping experience as enjoyable as possible! 

Sincerely,

Al Emmans
