The Cabin in the Woods is a 6-foot wide, 10-foot long deer stand built with a 4×6 covered porch and a 6×6 shooting room. The porch gives you a dry place to sit and wait out weather, while the enclosed shooting room, treated lumber, metal door, and sliding plexiglass windows keep you comfortable and concealed through a long sit.
What Is a Deer Stand With a Porch, Exactly?
A deer stand with a porch is exactly what it sounds like: a covered outdoor space attached to the main structure, separate from the enclosed shooting room. On The Cabin in the Woods, that porch measures 4 feet by 6 feet, big enough to set up a chair, stretch your legs, or just get out from under a roof of leaves when the wind kicks up.
How a Covered Porch Changes a Long Sit
Anyone who has hunted from a bare platform knows the problem: you either sit exposed to the weather or you’re cooped up inside from first light to last. The covered porch on The Cabin in the Woods splits the difference. You can step outside, stay dry, and still be back in the shooting room in two steps when something moves through the tree line. It’s a small addition that makes a full-day sit a lot more bearable.
What a Shooting House Adds to Concealment
The 6×6 shooting room is the heart of the stand, and it’s built to keep you hidden and steady. Sliding plexiglass windows let you glass the area and settle into a shot without cracking a door or shifting your whole position. A metal exterior door adds a layer of security when the stand sits unattended between hunts, and it closes quietly, which matters more than people think when deer are already skittish.
Built With Materials That Hold Up
Treated lumber runs through the frame of The Cabin in the Woods, standing up to the moisture and weather that come with leaving a structure in the woods year-round. Between the covered porch, the enclosed shooting room, the metal door, and the sliding plexiglass windows, it’s built to handle a full season of use, not just an opening weekend.
For hunters who want more room to spread out, The Weekender adds a privy room to a similar shooting-room layout, and The Hunter’s Paradise scales the same idea up to a bunk room for extended trips.
