Designed for Outdoor Living
With extensive wraparound decks and two covered porches, the Elkhorn emphasizes outdoor living and seasonal enjoyment. The log truss entry adds a striking architectural detail, while the sunroom offers a cozy space filled with natural light — perfect for reading, dining, or relaxing year-round.

Fully Customizable Log Cabin Kit Designs
You can flip the floorplan left to right, up, down, move things around to make rooms larger and others smaller, stretch the design (more costs), shrink it (save $), make it taller, different wall log diameters, add or subtract deck, railing, porches, entry trusses, add a garage, you name it, all doable. We try to advise you to keep the bathrooms stacked (plumbing costs), so a wet wall is shared, and some design elements like ridge lines and posts need to be approximately where they are, but the sky is the limit (let us help you get what you want)!

The front glass on this smaller cabin is amazing, and you have lots of deck as well
Interior Loft View

What we call a 3/4 loft is super efficient and cheap square footage. walk right up to the front glass, and the balcony is over the dining area, open to the living room.

This customer put some T&G on the wall to the loft to separate that area into an amazing bedroom. Looking great, and nice color on included floor, logs and ceiling
