This kit has all the unassembled parts for the project. It will provide step-by-step construction guide, a simple foundation plan, pre-cut wood, screws, chaulking, metal roofing, windows, railings, doors, and wood stain. It’s like an IKEA house.

Building not your cup of tea?

You can choose to have your cabin pre-built for an additional fee. If you choose this option, your new home will be delivered directly to you. These bad boys travel on the trailer of a truck. They can be hauled rather far. Bear in mind that the company charges $5 per mile from their facility in Munfordville, Kentucky.

Their transportation requires a wide load permit, an escort car, a CDL Licensed Driver, and one big ‘ol truck which can haul 10 tons (That’s 20,000 pounds!) Amish Cabin Company will insure the transport of your home, so you can rest easy knowing that it will arrive safely.

Do they look nice?

The cabins are made out of sturdy white pine and comes with a centered front porch. The interior has two lofts and plenty of windows to allow for natural lighting. There is also a lot of space inside for furniture and home decor. You can even add some covering on the front porch!

Can I actually live in there?

You can purchase a deluxe cabin which includes solar power, additional storage space, heating installation, extra bathrooms, and functional dormers. These things are fancier than Abe Lincoln’s childhood home, that’s for sure.

The Clover park model is the most affordable option. It is 12′ wide and 32′ long. It has a front porch and the builder can choose whether or not to include a loft.

Where can I put it?

These cabins are RVIA approved, so they may be placed anywhere an RV is allowed. This makes it more versatile with locations available for the home.

These cabins are not meant for excessive travel. You shouldn’t be road-tripping in them. Log Cabins are more suited for a permanent location.
