A home does not have to be huge to still meet your needs. Often we have retired people purchase small cabins to serve as their full time homes. The most common plans which are chosen are the Mica Creek, Calico, Alaska, and Fairweather. These cabins have a very livable floor plan, just simply on a [...]

Someone asked me lately what the smallest log cabin kit was that we have ever sold. That is a good question. The picture below is of a 6×8 milled log cabin that is used for a chicken coop, hen house, and turkey abode.  But this month we broke our record. We sold the smallest log [...]

The most rustic of log cabins are the handcrafted variety. The use of logs peeled with draw knives, random in width, and scribed together make for a cabin which might have been built there a century ago. If a small hunting cabin kit is built with milled logs, it just seems to loose a bit [...]

When shopping for tiny log cabin kits and hunting cabins it is very important to know what is included in the package.

The term log kit comes from the idea of buying everything for your cabin from one company. Write your check and a few weeks later a cabin will arrive at your doorstep.

Log cabin come in every shape and size, but there is one size that is really TOO small for just about everything! A one room log cabin kit is only about 300 square feet or less. We do have two cabins this size, but if you look at the floor plan, even with as creative [...]

Cost is a question that many people ask. It is disheartening and foolish of companies to tell you, “If you have to ask our prices then you can afford it!” Boy, that’s a moral booster when you are trying to figure out what you CAN build with your budget! Over the years we have found [...]
