Log Cabins, Permanent Mountain Homes
Imagine waking up surrounded by deer, turkey, bear cubs, mountain lion tracks and maybe even some elk! Reading this you may think you left the tv on and woke up to a nature special on National Geographic.
However, what if you woke up and all of this was right outside the window of your own Log Cabin? Sounds too good to be true right? Well with a modular log Cabin what seems like a dream can be made into a very real possibility.
While we can’t supply you with the guarantee of wildlife. We can promise you that your log cabin will bring you enjoyment for years to come!
We know you have heard all sorts of rumors about what a modular log cabin is and whether they are or are not log cabins to live in permanently and we want to give you the truth! So, let’s get to the facts of the matter right!
“Modular Log Cabins Are Just Trailers with Cheap Looking Log Siding?”
While we can’t speak about how our competition builds their log cabins, we know that our log cabins are built to the strictest standards. We don’t want to let you spend money on cheaply built projects! We pride ourselves on the craftsmanship of our buildings and are committed to making sure you are in love with the way your building looks! Not sure what to expect? You can take a look at some of our previous projects to see what we mean by “strict standards”.
How Are Our Log Cabins Built?
Did you know that Log Cabins have been an iconic style of building for years, centuries even! Log Cabins date back as far as 3,500 B.C. While we can’t guarantee that your log cabin will last thousands of years we can promise that they are built at the highest quality.
Our Log Cabins are built by local Amish craftsmen in the controlled environment of our manufacturing facility.
This may sound like it would limit the ability we have to build your dream log cabin. However, it is quite the opposite!
Imagine If you are living in the northeast and it is snowing and icing like you will be snowed in for days. The wind is howling, and it doesn’t look like it has any sign of letting up this week, let alone this month!
This means that your Log cabin is now going to be put behind a week in production. What a disaster!
Well, with a modular log cabin being built in our facility, you don’t have to worry about the issues you may face with weather delaying your project.
Yes, go ahead and celebrate!
You can rest assured that the time frame that is given for your cabin to be completed will be what you were told. We don’t have to depend on nature to cooperate when it comes to the building process!
So let’s talk about what a modular Log Cabin is:
All You Are Trying To Do Is Sell Me A Cookie Cutter When I Want A Custom Log Cabin!
We know it can seem like a modular log cabin is something that would not be customizable. In this world where you can customize everything from your coffee order to the way you want your deliveries left at your house we understand why you want it the way you want it!
We want you in a property as unique as the needs that you have. Our desire is to make you the project foreman and design the space how you would like it to appear.
When you work with a reputable log cabin builder they should be doing everything they can to work to your needs. You should be given the ability to choose where you want the bedrooms and how many you want. You should be given the ability to tell them how many bathrooms you want and where. Most importantly you should be able to tell us how many and how big you want the windows to be. Isn;t the whole point of this build to take in the beautiful surroundings of the wild! Who doesn’t want to see all the wildlife out their window?!
We also have a large list of projects that we have done in the past if you need some help getting inspiration for the design. If not we can get started with the design!
If It Is So Customizable That Means This Log Cabin Is Going To Cost Me A Fortune!
We know when investing in a log cabin you aren’t looking to spend a sizable amount of money for something that is going to deteriorate in a short time.
Our log cabins are built on site with inspectors checking our work before we bring it to you. This means once the project has come to you, you are not going to have to wait for the home to be inspected because it was done along the way. Just get a final inspection and you are on your way!
So now that we have given you a sense of that crisp mountain air, let’s talk more about why log cabins make the ideal living space for you, your family, and your friends.

Common Questions We Get About Our Log Cabins
Is this just a Log Cabin Kit that I pay someone to put together?
NO WAY! When you purchase from us we build your log cabin in our facility! A log cabin kit would require us to show up to your residence and build it from the ground up. This process usually takes a very long time to accomplish the task. Our log cabins come ready to put together and are completely finished internally, just the way you designed it!
How much will a Log Cabin cost me?
When looking to purchase a Log Cabin a lot can be going through your mind.
“Can I afford something like this ?”
“Is this going to be something that I actually want?”
And most importantly “Is this Log Cabin going to quality?”
While our cabins are not cheaply built that doesn’t mean they are out of reach!
Our cabins can be as affordable as $60,000 and some of our higher end cabins to $500,000. While everyone one has a different budget available to them, we are sure we can help find a log cabin for your needs!
Is this the same thing as a portable cabin?
Not at All! A portable cabin is a cabin that is generally built by a company that specializes in building sheds. They are usually on a frame that can be moved around with a tool called a mule to move the cabin’s location from place to place if desired.
A Log cabin like ours is built in our shop and then finished on your property by being placed on the foundation you provide. Making this a log cabin to live in permanently in the heart of the wild like you always wanted!
What are Modern Log Cabins?

What is the benefit of a Log Cabin?
Log cabins have a tradition of being a place where you can unwind and disconnect from the busyness of life. When is the last time you ever heard someone say “I wish I could just go to the city and get some peace and quiet”? You haven’t? Yeah neither have we. When you are in a cabin a sense of peace and tranquility comes over you.
This kind of peace and tranquility lets you wake up, rest, and unwind from the beginning of your day. When you are surrounded by natural beauty it’s hard to feel like you are being rushed. You get the privilege of starting off each day as an adventure!
And isn’t that what life is all about? Living and adventure within your daily life?
