Log cabin kits provide a less expensive home-building solution for those with construction experience. They come in sizes ranging from 200 square feet to 3,000 square feet, and prices start at around $18,000.
If you’re ready to build your dream home, add a guest house to your property, or construct a vacation rental, we’ve rounded up 15 log cabin kits with prices that you can buy and build yourself.
A log cabin kit contains the log system, lumber, fasteners, windows, exterior doors, blueprint, and building materials to construct a log cabin. Some kits come with shingles or metal roofing systems, while others only include rafters or trusses.
Most cabin kits contain no interior finishes besides log or wooden shiplap ceilings and wood flooring. Log cabin kits don’t include foundations, electrical work, plumbing, and interior finishes such as cabinets, countertops, and light fixtures.
If you have building experience, a small log cabin kit provides a beginner-friendly way to construct your own home. For those who lack building experience, a prefab cabin may be a better fit.
Before you buy a kit, consult with the company, examine the material list, and calculate other services and materials you need for a complete build. A general rule of thumb is to double the cost of the log cabin kit for a rough estimate of how much a complete build will cost.
