Our Cabins

Our Current Projects

We design and build fully engineered cabin models in-house, with a focus on durability, efficiency, and quality construction. Working from our own original designs supports consistent build quality and a well-managed construction process. Each model reflects a distinct balance of size and layout, shaped by its intended use. Reviewing the model details and specifications can help clarify which layout best aligns with how the space will be used.

Design & Build Notes​

Designed as the more expansive of the two models, the Tamarack incorporates additional length and detailing that allow for greater interior adaptability and improved weather protection. Features such as extended eaves and a layout suited to full-size utilities support longer stays and more varied use. The result is a cabin that offers added capability without added structural complexity.
