CABIN KITS

For many Americans, cabins are a nostalgic reminder of family vacations spent in the great outdoors. While the cabins we stayed in as kids may have had a dilapidated charm, our cabin kits feature high-quality wood materials and modern designs optimized for efficiency. Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway, backyard guest house, or full-time residence, our line of classic and contemporary cabin kits can be customized to meet your unique needs.

What is a Cabin Kit?

A cabin kit is a prefabricated design and materials package that can be assembled quickly without sacrificing quality. All of our cabin kits come with everything you need to construct your frame, including highly detailed blueprints, framing materials, doors, windows, siding and trim, hardware and more. Sourcing only the finest materials from the Pacific Northwest, all of our post and beam cabin packages feature premium quality heavy timber components that are as durable as they are beautiful.

Cabins Make the Perfect ADU

RAISE THE VALUE OF YOUR PROPERTY AND START GENERATING INCOME

As vacation rental sites like Airbnb and Vrbo continue to grow in popularity, many homeowners are joining in on the trend by adding an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, to their property and renting it out to guests. By doing so, homeowners can make a substantial amount of passive income from simply hosting travelers a few times a month. On average, an Airbnb host makes $924 a month, with some earning more than $10,000 per month. If you’re looking to increase your earnings while building equity in your property, a cabin kit can turn into a profitable side hustle that ends up paying for itself and more in the long run.

The Process

Our simplified process makes it easy for customers to customize their preferred cabin kit with the help of one of our experienced project coordinators. During our prefabrication process, our experienced craftsmen pre-cut, drill, and individually label the posts, beams, rafters, and wall-framing material included in your building package using our state-of-the-art CNC woodworking machine. The prefabrication process allows our clients to kickstart their construction process while significantly reducing framing man-hours, equipment rental fees, and job site waste, saving our clients thousands of dollars. Prefabrication also allows for more accurate construction and better quality, so you can enjoy a structure built to last a lifetime.

Our Cabin Kit Expertise

DESIGNING A SMALL SPACE

When designing a small space, it’s important to determine which items work and don’t work in the given area. Furniture like a coffee table or decorative bookshelf might add an elegant touch to your living area, but can take up a great deal of room in a tiny structure. Before planning out your space, visualize the items you currently own and try to prioritize them based on need. This method can be especially useful when downsizing from a larger home.

POST & BEAM CABINS ARE A BETTER INVESTMENT THAN LOG CABINS

Log cabins come with a number of hidden costs that post and beam cabins seek to eliminate. For instance, log buildings require more maintenance than the average home, with yearly inspections to check for infestations, mildew, and mold. The caulking also has to be constantly repaired as a result of logs shifting and expanding over time. Additionally, these structures are more expensive to insure than traditional homes, as log cabins are less fire-resistant. Our post and beam cabin kits, however, feature durable building techniques that require less maintenance over time and are built to endure even the most extreme weather conditions.

HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS SOURCED FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

Our heavy timbers are part of what make our line of pre-engineered cabin kits so unique. Being located in the Pacific Northwest allows us to source the finest heavy timbers for our cabin kits, providing for a difference you can see and feel throughout your space. Our commitment to providing our clients with the most beautiful structures made from the highest quality materials is unparalleled in our industry and what keeps our clients coming back with more projects.

New: A-Frame Cabin Kits

A-frame cabins are some of the most popular home designs to emerge in the last century.
