These prefab cabins are perfect for your weekend getaway. And they cost much less than traditional cabins to build.
An off-the-grid cabin is a dream of many. Therefore, picking your getaway home is an important decision — and one that’s a serious investment. The cabin isn’t just somewhere you can go to for vacation purposes, too; it can also be a rental with extra income.
You can either build your cabin or buy a manufactured one. Prefab cabins are smaller than prefab cottages and traditional homes. However, they have all the necessary amenities of a home, including a kitchen with appliances, a bathroom, a living area, and a bedroom.
