What Is “Maine Cabin Masters” About?
“Maine Cabin Masters” focuses on the work of builder Chase Morrill and his construction team, his sister Ashley Morrill (designer), and his brother-in-law Ryan Eldridge (carpenter) as they renovate dilapidated cabins along Maine’s scenic waterways. Since season one, the show’s cast has expanded to include more memorable characters, some of which are discussed below.
A typical episode begins with Chase introducing his team to a cabin and its hopeful owners looking to revamp their space. With a budget, deadlines, and renovation goals that need to be knocked down, the team works in sync for a total cabin makeover to restore the original beauty of the cabins.
What’s great about the cast is they can integrate innovative modern upgrades like composting toilets and solar panels into their project while keeping the cabin’s aesthetic true to its client’s preferences. Every episode ends with a cherry on the cake: an exciting unveiling of the refurbished and renovated cabin as the team ceremoniously hands over the keys to its owners.
The team works with a trusted community of local artisans and craftspeople across Maine, revamping classic Maine cabins with their unique take. As Morill puts it, be it a lakeside retreat by the shore or a centuries-old cottage in the woods, every home they renovate transforms into an entirely new cabin after this team gives it the revival it needs.
Is “Maine Cabin Masters” a Real Company?
“Maine Cabin Masters” is owned by a company called the Kennebec Cabin Company, based in Manchester, Maine. The company is an ‘ever-evolving venture’ of some of the show’s most recognizable and iconic characters – Chase, Ashley, Ryan, Jedi, and Dixie. The mission of Kennebec Cabin Company is a simple one: offer the best of Maine and celebrate the place the show calls ‘home.’
The Kennebec website also hosts the “From the Woodshed” podcast episodes starring Chase and Ryan. Guests of the podcast ask interesting questions regarding Maine life and the show itself.
Kennebec Cabin Company is also home to the KCC retail store, which features “Maine Cabin Masters” logo wear and other merchandise for fans of the show. The KCC retail store also curates one-of-a-kind handcrafted work of Maine-based artisans. From rustic bird-houses to decadent nut butters, you can get your solitary-cabin-lifestyle fix by browsing the Kennebec Cabin Company retail store on its website.
What’s more — from June through October, the Kennebec Cabin Company hosts a ‘clubhouse’ comprising of “Maine Cabin Masters” episode watch parties, live outdoor music, and microbrews on draft. Anyone visiting Maine from Thursday to Sunday is open to swing ‘around back’ to the Woodshed to enjoy the fun.

As shown in the series, the Kennebec Cabin Company specializes in renovations but specifically works on servicing cabins in the backwoods of Maine — most of which are far from cheap. It has been reported that the team has generated around $30,000 from a single project.
