Are we BUYING a cabin, Tiny Home, Park Model?

Heres a tour of cabins from WWW.LancasterLogCabins.com
We go thru some display models checking the lay outs and features. A very hard decision between a two bedroom or bunk room. Lots of projects in the works at the farm!! Is Agro-tourism a viable option? Rotational cattle grazing? Cabin rentals? Crop fields? Fishing Derby? Hunting preserve?

[@JETSETJP]

If I was renting that wood cabin I would definitely use that armoire to hang up my clothing

[@georgerancourt4201]

Finally, some "normal" people doing the same thing we would do lol - good job

[@oxford821]

Nice!!! Thanks

[@anthonymiller8979]

I love the Lakeview model. Would make the perfect tiny house for me. Leave out the bunk beds and put a window in that area to use as an office, craft area andmaybe a small stackable washer/dryer. Leave out all the built in furniture too.

[@oxford821]

That’s a good idea. I would leave out the furniture also

[@cathymolina9139]

Great idea.

[@tabithaherron9540]

Could also make the bunch bed area a huge closet!

[@chrisdargie7057]

I love the Sierra! Perfect in my mind. I'd want a concrete basement, and I'd get a rinnai on demand in the basement so you could use basement as storage.

[@marshalynn011]

So I'm in Ohio. 7 years ago we bought a log cabin shell from an Amish log cabin maker that's local here. We put it on a foundation on the property in Southern Ohio. It showed up pre built and was slid on the foundation. Its a 1 bedroom with a loft. We love it. What I don't love are wood bees.. So keep that in mind when your buying one and have a plan in place. Because twice a year they want to dig holes in your cabin and if you don't fill them next season they will just dig it deeper. I liked the idea of a shell because then I could put in what worked best for us. I'm not a fan of anything on wheels so I wanted a foundation. You are correct the yearly taxes for that lot of 7 acres went from 72 dollars a year to 647. All things to think about. Good luck on your journey.

[@oxford821]

Thanks for your input! Those bees are definitely something to think about.

[@cindycampbell807]

Yes I seen these yrs ago when my husband & I would rent a cabin in the smokies those wood bees destroying the house crazy thing

[@EagleArrow]

We stayed in a model like the third model at a KOA when our two youngest were under ten. It was very comfortable and we heard nothing outside from other campers. It was a nice stay. It was very comfortable.

[@oxford821]

[@edhiestand1197]

If your ball bearings are falling out you are buying cheap sliders. Good quality 100-pound capacity sliders are the way to go, forget wood! Have used quality soft close sliders for 40 years and never had a failure much less bearings coming out.

[@oxford821]

Good advice!

[@richardfowler3254]

I have had sliders for years and have never had one bearing fall out. A quality slider will work almost forever. Think about mechanics tool boxes with sliders, they carry way more weight than what clothing weighs and they last forever...

[@oxford821]

Yea, good point

[@bathory5026]

Yeah those side mount drawer sliders don't hold up well. The undermount ones are much better, especially if it's DTC, which is a brand, but even then, they tend to give out after about 5-7 years. I was QC lead for a cabinet company and was handling the replacement orders.

[@oxford821]

The cabins are nice too!

[@ahchv]

Great video thank you! How do you think these would hold off in northeast winters!? I don’t think walls are insulated right?

[@oxford821]

The log construction is the installation I believe. Any park model cabin/trailer’s water lines will freeze in the winter. You would need proper skirting around the bottom and electric heating pads placed under it to prevent freezing.

[@cindycampbell807]

I do away with the tiny bedroom make kitchen and living bigger and it needs 2 mini splits and yea better lighting

[@oxford821]

[@ravenlorans]

The Ones with Lofts.... Why Don't the Manufactures offer a option to Raise the Loft so that we can have a Full Second Floor? Either Raise it Mechanically or Electrically. Either put the Wall sections you need to add, in the loft or Unfold as it raises... Solid Walls of coarse. Electrical for ceiling lights could plug in to a socket in the lower section and a Interior wall so the room could actually be a room. I would like a Park Model that has a Loft but also would actually want a Second Bedroom/Hobby Room/Guest Room and Not a Crawl Space. I am Too F'n Old, Fat and Out of Shape to be crawling around on the floor. I have asked a Few but Never get a reply.

[@oxford821]

That’s a good idea. It can’t be about keeping cost down because these suckers are almost as much as a small house already. There used to be pull behind campers that had lift up sides

[@ravenlorans]

@@oxford821 What are you talking about? I have seen people STUPID enough to pay 140K for a F'n 8x12 "Tiny House" on a trailer from Lowe's, Home Depot, Menards, Tractor Company... ( or that's what they charged the 70yrold lady ). Seen Some people Stupid enough to pay 250K for a 12x32 and a Actual House would have been Half that.. then they permanently set it up on their Parents Property... Seen One where they paid/Spent the 240K to build one and set it up on a 50x50 Lot. No Second bedroom in the loft area that you had to crawl around in.. Where there are Stupid People, those Same People would be willing to pay.... At Least Offer the Option... Hell, Even Slide-outs... I am not calling myself stupid but I would Cut Off the Roof at the Roof line and Add the Extra Height myself.. But then again, I am getting too Old, Fat and Out of Shape to be doing it, so would want them to do it for me.. I remember when these things started hitting the market, they were Half the Price they are now and Just as Nice.. Then Offer them Without all the Furniture and Appliances and and and ... That will cut Down on the Price by a Good 10k right there...

[@kathyfoster7468]

I agree 100% Im to old to be crawling around on severely bad knees like a baby.

[@richardfowler3254]

The lofts are sized the way they are for DOT regulations since these are able to move on the roads. I have seen other similar styled homes that come as a "floor & 1/2" that the roof section is on hinges that would be set up once in place on site....

[@oxford821]

That’s a good idea.

[@ML-kx9gz]

Its very funny where they cut costs to me I dunno why but when he was talking about the lighting I was thinking the exact same thing, I was like that looks like a light you would have outside next to your garage why is it in the loft for children? lol and he goes "that light is absolutely ridiculous" at the same time LOL

[@oxford821]

Right on!

Thanks. We did not purchase cabins yet. We started to renovate our barn in our field first. It had a bad roof and needed to get done first.

[@bryanstaten5585]

Are those on I beam chassis or wood skids?

[@oxford821]

The cabins are built onto tractor trailer frames.

[@bennym1956]

Nobody makes a complete hardwood cabinet on the inside and outside !! Have a tiny house custom made ! If so, ask to have ceiling fan dropped a foot or 2 down and get a better one with longer blades, that will make a huge difference in cooling !!! Short blade ceiling fans are only good for small rooms. Be sure to check your state, county and local regulations before buying a tiny house !!! Regulations have changed over the years !! Don't assume nothing !

[@dustybowhunter]

I think i liked the rancher the best, too bad it didnt have a porch

[@oxford821]

I’m thinking two bedrooms would be better especially for non-couples staying. Not having the cool porch does suck.

[@jacquiedresser8610]

Just add a deck

[@soobv]

Can you hear a lot of sound coming from the outside like cars?

[@oxford821]

The factory was set back away from roads. The logs are true solid wood, not veneer siding. I’m thinking it would be pretty quiet?

[@lindaputnam9243]

Maybe the bedroom cabinet is for linens and blankets

[@oxford821]

Good be!

[@jaydowwg8150]

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Please tell me how much would u rent that out for ?? A night ? And each week? Thanks

[@oxford821]

Well, I think it would depend on the area, local attractions, amenities at location, and a bunch of other factors. Renting out per day, weekends and weekly is definitely on the table. We have a bunch of stuff here and in the area. I would block out hunting seasons unless I rented out the place to hunters. I would keep the rental fee as high as possible, not to take people for their money but to hopefully eliminate renters that may be problematic.
