Volume 1 offers 16 compact and rustic cabins accommodate modern tastes and comfort. Ranging from 400 to 1,200 square feet, these plans are affordable to build and provide truly livable and enjoyable getaways. Natural materials are specified to achieve an authentic look.

Volume 2 offers 14 new and enlarged cabin plans. Based on the same great cabins from our first collection, these homes offer a little more elbow room. These 14 plans feature square footages from 800 to 2,000 heated square feet.
