What is a Log Cabin Tiny Home?

A Log Cabin Tiny Home is a home that is under 400 square feet and is built to look like a log cabin. And while technically a tiny home is less than 400 square feet, today the term is used much more loosely and can include anything from a renovated school bus to any small house, like park model homes or even small cabins. 

With the cost of living and home prices on the rise, the purchase of a “normal” home is financially out of reach for many. So people are moving more toward tiny homes and to the minimalist lifestyle. Not only does this offer more flexibility and freedom financially, but many tiny homes can be moved, making them the ideal solution for the adventure loving. 

But small or tiny cabins are not just for the surfing crowd and thrill seekers. A Log cabin tiny home makes for a lovely vacation spot in the mountains, or simply an extra guest room. They also make for a great short-term investment opportunity as a vacation rental through airbnb or VRBO. 

Park Model Cabins as Tiny Homes

While park model homes are actually built and registered as recreational vehicles under the ANSI A119.5 Code for recreational park trailers, they are a great option for anyone interested in a temporary housing solution, or wishing for your own cabin in the mountains. They don’t require a foundation, and only need the basic utility hookups that an RV would use. And the best part is that Park Model prices are quite affordable.

Rancher Park Model Cabin

The Rancher Park Model Cabin comes in at 13 ft wide and 31 ft long with a full bathroom, two bedrooms and a beautiful living area that includes the kitchen and living room. And with a loft over the one bedroom, it gives you the additional space whether you want more storage, an extra bedroom or just a place for the kids to play. 

Sierra Park Model Cabin

The Sierra Park Model Cabin is a “large” park model cabin at 44’ long. And while there is only one full bedroom, the hallway hosts a bunk bed and the loft comes with two single mattresses as well. The space sacrificed inside is well justified by the beauty and functionality of the beautiful 10’ porch on the end of this cabin.

Lakeview Park Model Cabin

The Lakeview Park Model Cabin is 12 ft wide and 42 ft long including a stunning 8’ long porch that is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. The kitchen and living room area has a cathedral ceiling and exposed beams, giving it a spacious feel. It also comes with a fully furnished bedroom, a bunk area in the hallway and full bath.

The Sedona Cabin

The Sedona Cabin is a customizable modular log cabin coming in sizes ranging from 13’x 36’ to 15’x 48’. The 6’ porch in the front makes this cabin feel like home.

The Plymouth Cabin

The Plymouth Cabin comes with a beautiful steep roof which not only gives it an elegant look, but also provides the space for a loft over the bedroom.

The front porch spans the length of the house, providing you with the perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature.

The Catskill Cabin

The Catskill Cabin is kind of like the brother of the Plymouth, with the primary difference being that the porch is at the gable end of the cabin instead of along the side. With the same steep roof which is perfect for looks but also for places with lots of snow. You can make this cabin your own with lots of custom options. Are you looking to go luxury? Consider adding a Jacuzzi to your bathroom or master bedroom.
