Inspirations Brewing
If there's one thing both Chase Morrill and his brother-in-law, Ryan, love besides renovating cabins, it's beer. When they learn that the owner of their latest cabin project works at Allagash Brewing Company, they're excited to check out the brewery for inspiration as they turn the weekend getaway into a three-season home away from home. Located on the shore of Sabattus Pond, the cabin has a steep drop-off to the water, a front door in the wrong place, a kitchen that's too tiny and a unusable loft thanks to a low ceiling. Chase and the team brew up some incredible projects to reimagine the cabin footprint and use items from the brewery as well as custom pieces to transform it beyond their clients' wildest expectations.
Stable Family Ties
Chase and the crew have their work cut out for them turning a vacation cabin that was originally a 1920s horse barn into a stable building for a large family. Drawing from the past as inspiration, the crew also wants to honor the owners' late parents in this emotional build.

Chase has to figure out how to get down to the camp before taking it apart, which calls for some high-end stonework. The crew also springs into action to build something special for the family dog.
Desert Pond Hideaway
Builder Chase Morrill and his team travel to a secluded piece of land close to Desert Pond to help a couple turn their forgotten shack into a relaxing retreat.

The Honeymoon Suite
In a Maine Cabin Masters first, Chase and his creative crew help a newlywed couple take a questionable "wedding gift" and turn it into an alpine ski bungalow that would rival those found in the Swiss Alps. With $35,000 and no time limit, Chase and his team completely gut the camp and start from scratch to transform it from its current condition into the beautiful bungalow that the newlyweds will enjoy for generations to come.

The key feature will be a huge commercial-grade deck that can accommodate up to 40 guests at a time. With only eight weeks until the first guests arrive and the camp buried under two feet of snow, the team will have to get creative to finish this project on time.
Bunganuc Creek Landmark
Builder Chase Morrill and his crew take on a historic clammers' shack that's one nor'easter away from falling into Bunganuc Creek. Designer Ashley joins the guys for a renovation that consists of opening up boarded windows as well as clearing out animal droppings, years of trash and old machinery. In order to make a big transformation without changing the look of the outside, they get creative while battling the rising tide that touches the camp. The team has their work cut out for them with this rebuild, and they know everyone in town is watching closely as they work on this historic landmark.

With the wedding quickly approaching and Lance busy building outhouses and goose pens for his fiance, the team must work fast in order to finish before Lilly walks down the aisle.
