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.
A Family Gathering Place
Chase and his team take on a project on McGrath Pond in Oakland, ME, that has been empty for 15 years. Stephanie bought this place from her father and promised him she would fix it up. After her father passed a few years ago, she knew she needed to get some help so she could fulfill her promise and bring it back to the fun cabin it once was. While it seems like a pretty straightforward renovation, starting a project this late in the season raises a lot of challenges. Can Chase and his team get this project done before winter comes and brings construction to a halt?
A Cabin for the YMCA
The Kennebec Valley YMCA in Augusta, Maine, needs a new play structure, and the Cabin Masters know just the crew for the job. In addition, Ryan decides it's time to build the workshop that Chase Morrill has always wanted. With winter fast approaching and no budget for either project, the team works feverishly to finish the play cabin for the YMCA and the workshop for Chase before everything freezes over.
The Hiltz Camp
Builder Chase Morrill and his team are deep in the woods of New Sharon, Maine, to help homeowner Rod save his rundown camp from falling into the pristine Kimball Pond.

Chase will need all hands on deck to get this build done in time and under his $20,000 budget.
Pilsbury Family Rafting Cabin
Builder Chase Morrill and his team take on a project along the Kennebec River in Caratunk, Maine. They're challenged with taking a shell of a cabin that was moved to its current property from Lake Moxie and renovating it to create a small efficiency home for family and friends to stay when they visit. The timeline and budget aren't the only challenges the team will face, however, as the remote location provides its own set of problems.
Ship-Shape Shack
Chase and the team have their hands full transforming a family's treasured 1950s lobster shack into a cabin that will create a lifetime of memories for generations to come.
