@Acesontop YES! A resounding yes.

I used to tell my friends that I wished I was back in the Victorian era with no smartphones, where people will dip their quills in ink and write long meaningful letters to each other. 

But going back to your question about living in a cabin away from the modern life, it has crossed my mind most particularly after reading some parts of Walden, the seminal work of Henry David Thoreau.

Modern life with all its conveniences and technology has not only quickened the pace of living, but has also inevitably made life more complicated. Hence, the appeal of a cabin lifestyle, besides the intimacy with nature, is its simplicity. 

 One quote that struck me from Walden: "Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth."

But even if we don't live a cabin life in accordance to the natural rhythm of the seasons, we can strive to live a simple life right where we are, even in the heart of a bustling city (for me, that's Singapore).
