12×40 Elk Creek Cabin Model Available for Less Than $35,000



The​‍​‌‍​‍‌ 12×40 Elk Creek log cabin from Custom Sheds Plus LLC is the perfect example of a combination of nature and urban style. It is a cabin that in a nutshell with its timeless mountain charm which at the same time looks quite fresh, this cabin just demands the attention.

The Elk Creek cabin of 480 square feet is neither too large nor too small but just the perfect size of a cozy cabin where you can still live. The unique architectural feature that makes this cabin the most noticeable is the set of trapezoidal windows on both the front and the backside of the cabin. The panes of glass allow a lot of sunlight into the house, and the design elements from the point of view of the architectural are quite dramatic, and the view is extended to such an extent that it is impossible for conventional rectangular windows to compare. The first sun rays hit the front, while the last ones paint the back wall in golden hues—so every time you are inside the cabin, it feels like a special hour.

The dark brown stain used on the log siding very much similarly to the nature works, emphasizing the wood grains and giving the wood texture that was already there, but now done with a glossy look, it also provides excellent resistance to weather, is not affected by the sun rays and is not attractive for insects. Matching dark brown trim along with a forest green metal roof makes the cabin an ideal match for forested areas. On the other hand, it is also very contrasting with the surrounding areas and thus, can be considered as a kind of “anti-camouflage”. So, it is a stand that on open land the cabin stands out, yet it can hardly be seen in the woods. The net result is a cabin that has the visual appeal of having been there all along.

It is a robust shell, in fact, the Elk Creek cabin can be used in all four seasons after complete interior finishing and Custom Sheds Plus LLC are responsible for that. The builder is free to do the finishing himself with floor insulation, spray-foam or batt insulation in walls and ceiling, electrical wiring, plumbing, drywall, luxury vinyl plank or hardwood flooring, full kitchen, bathroom, and one or two bedrooms.

The vast majority of the users of this brand open 12×40 layout will convert it to a roomy studio cabin with a king bed and large living area, the rest of them will create a real one-bedroom cabin with a separate sleeping quarters and a large great room.

The cabin’s core versatility is what makes it so attractive. Whether looking for a permanent tiny home, a luxury hunting or fishing cabin, a lakeside family retreat, a guest house, an Airbnb rental, or a private home office, this cabin is the answer. The 12-foot width is really good for a person to move without hitting the elbows—full-size sectional sofa, dining table for six, and complete kitchen fitting can all be done in one go—while the 40-foot length provides for the thoughtful separation of living and sleeping zones. If the front porch or wrap-around deck is your choice, then you can say that the cabin has become an entertainer’s dream.

The trapezoidal windows inside the cabin reach the higher vertical sightlines and thus, the understatement of the cabin’s size and its more dramatic effect is what they are really about. The sunlight coming through the windows repeatedly plays across the log walls, whereby it emphasizes the woods natural colors and forms ever-changing patterns on the floor. Thus, the cabin is warm even on overcast days. When it is finished with pine tongue-and-groove ceiling, recessed lighting, and a stove (wood-burning) or an electric fireplace, one would need no less than the word marvel to describe that atmosphere.

What’s more, the Elk Creek cabin comes at a cost that will not keep your dream out of reach. Less than $33,000 is what you would pay for a finished shell with a dark brown stain and green roof which is an excellent value from Custom Sheds Plus LLC. Besides, the price at the starting point includes delivery and installation in many locations and thus, is one of the cheapest ways to have a real log-sided, four-season cabin with a unique character and architectural feature at such a low level.

Whether the cabin is surrounded by the Northwoods forest and snow is falling through those magnificent windows, located on a southern lake with summer breezes drifting in, or put away in a mountain valley where elk actually bugle at dawn, the 12×40 Elk Creek cabin is a great fit for every season and setting. As a result of spring wildflowers, the windows get framed; summer sun helps to keep the logs warm; autumn colors the trees around which perfectly match the dark brown stain; and winter changes the cabin into a glowing beacon of comfort against the snow.

Here families build memories that live on through generations. Couples get the calm peace. Hunters have a warm and dry base camp which is like a lodge. Remote workers find focus when they are close to nature. No matter what your dream is, the Elk Creek cabin is the one that will do it with style, strength, and the true spirit of a log cabin – at a starting price of $33,000 by Custom Sheds Plus ​‍​‌‍​‍‌LLC.
