Would You Rather

Wouldn't it be great to offer people their own space, and not just 1 of 487 rooms where noisy neighbors can make a night miserable, but a complete building all to themselves? Chances are you are probably not looking to build the huge hotel with hundreds of rooms, and are looking for a simpler lodging facility capable of meeting the guest's needs, but not overextending yourself financially in getting the project rolling. You can have an inn made of individual log cabin rental units offering a quiet, calming, and relaxing stay to patrons who need that little something extra that they can't get anywhere else.

Lower Initial Investment and Better and Faster Returns

We specialize in lodging that can maximize your profit, and offer more than the same boring hotel experience that everyone else has. For years our customers have used our buildings to house their guests, and create an atmosphere that results in happy guests, and repeat customers who will tell their friends and increase your revenue. We build fully assembled log cabins that are delivered to your site, and ready to use, complete with Kitchenettes, Bathrooms, Hardwood Floors, and more options than space allows. These buildings can be set on a foundation of your choice, from stone pad or concrete slab to full basement, and when in place they provide an incredibly, aesthetically pleasing building sure to catch the attention of your prospective customer. With a little bit of landscaping, it would take the most trained of eyes to see that the unit was not stick built on site, combine that with the fact that all the qualities you are looking for in a log cabin can be had at an affordable rate without exhausting you budget.

How Our Cabins Make You Money!

Any time you bring in a construction crew to do work, or build buildings you run into a lot of added cost, and headaches that you really don't need or want:

Our buildings are built in the controlled environment of our factory where efficiency is a priority each step of the way.

• We don't have delays from the weather.
• We don't get stuck waiting for materials.
• We don't have the added expenses of travel to and from the job site.
• We don't run over on a construction budget. The price you are quoted is the price you pay.

When you bring a construction crew:

• Work can be slowed or stopped based on the weather creating long delays.
• There are many sub-contractors working in and around each other, and things get off schedule early and often.
• There are a lot of scraps and trash that gets left behind, leaving you to clean things up, or pay someone else to.
• Chances are your builder isn't next door to your building location, and you will pay for the transportation for the crew to and from the worksite?
• Contractors work on a budget, and overages can be expected, costs can run thousands more than what you would have expected.

All these factors combine to bring you buildings with the quality you desire, and in a much shorter time. The quicker your project is complete, the quicker guests can book rooms, and the quicker you begin to collect on your investment.

First Class Construction

Our fully assembled log cabins are built in Lancaster County by our Amish carpenters known for their workmanship, and attention to detail. Over the years they have developed a reputation for their outstanding work ethic that is second to none! It is non-stop, obsessed with every detail from beginning to end, and never taking any shortcuts. We take great pride in each building that leaves the shop, that's why the owner himself personally inspects every building to ensure that each measure up to the exceptionally high standards that we have set. Each building can also be inspected by an independent building codes inspector, who is certified by the National building Codes, if that is something required for you project. Our goal is to provide a cabin rental experience for your guests to enjoy, and you the facilities to maximize your profits for years to come.

Under Construction = No Revenue

Construction Projects take a very long time, and can go for months on end continually running up the overall cost of your project. With a large building project you cannot put guests in until the whole project is complete; therefore you have absolutely no income off of you investment for months on end. Our construction process from beginning to end is much quicker, cleaner, and allows you to capitalize on your investment much sooner than undertaking a major building project, and isn't that the goal? In weeks not months, you can be on your way to collecting income on your cabins.

What if I need to add a room…

Think about the problems you would have in a building project when you realize that you need more room. You can't simply build one off of the side of your building without being involved in major renovations, and creating an unpleasant look, and stay for your guests. Not only those but the cost of projects like that are incredibly costly and time consuming. If you are working with single units the only issue is whether you have space to place it, after that, all you need to do is prepare the site we drop off the building, and you hook up your water electric and sewer, and in no time you are up and running with a new revenue generator, at a small cost.

"I'm ready to do something else..."

After 5 years in the business you decide that it is not something that you want to continue doing for whatever reason (probably because you are ready to retire of your generated income, and travel the world) you now have options. You can sell you whole investment (land and buildings), or you can sell your buildings individually, maintaining your land investment. Any time you build a large building, that building is forever tied to the land it sits on, and the two are inseparable. The only way to separate them would be to tear down the building. Obviously that does not provide you with much flexibility, and the option of tearing down the building really has no benefit to you. The cabin rental units provide you with options and flexibility that you cannot find when building.

Let's look at the Numbers

You can look at it this way 31% of all revenue collected in the first year is free and clear of your capital investment and goes right into the bank. Here is what you would need to break even on your project.

Investment in Cabin	25000
Nightly Revenue	120
Nights to break even	208.333
Weeks to break even	29.7619
Months to break even	6.94444

Here is how the Return on Your Investment would break down:

KEEP IN MIND THIS IS PER CABIN!

# of Nights Occupied	Gross Profit	Investment (Capital)	ROI
50	$6,000	$25,000	-76%
100	$12,000	$25,000	-52%

250	$30,000	$25,000	20%
300	$36,000	$25,000	44%
350	$42,000	$25,000	68%
400	$48,000	$25,000	92%
450	$54,000	$25,000	116%
500	$60,000	$25,000	140%
550	$66,000	$25,000	164%
600	$72,000	$25,000	188%
650	$78,000	$25,000	212%
700	$84,000	$25,000	236%

As you can see the Revenue generated from your rental cabin purchase is capable of providing the return on your investment beyond what you may have thought possible! Think about it if you put together a lodging facility built of 15 rental cabins in less than 2 years your Gross Profit would exceed $1.25 million.
