The Fall Creek Cabin is the 2nd in a series of cabins from Montana Mobile Cabins which originally had a lot of influence in my starting the Tiny House Blog.

The Fall Creek Cabin is located in Emmigrant, Montana and was built in the Fall of 2009. The cabin is 14′ x 20′ with a full loft, studio kitchen, bath, great room and set on a crawl space foundation that can be used for storage.

For more information on Montana Mobile Cabins go to their website and request their information packet.

This cabin is mobile but not one you would move yourself and requires special equipment and permits. Montana Mobile Cabins charges a per mile delivery fee after the first 50 miles. Visit their FAQ page to learn more. Continue Reading »

Just shy of three years ago I published the first post on the Tiny House Blog it was on my favorite log cabin company Montana Mobile Cabins based in Whitehall, Montana.

I contacted the company recently to see if they would share with me some recent photos of there projects. They responded by sending three wonderful cabins with lots of great pictures. I’ve decided to highlight them individually in their own posts and this is the first one.

The Marion cabin is an 18′ x 24′ cabin with a half loft, kitchen, bath, and a great room. The cabin includes an on demand electric water heater in the bath and kitchen. Continue Reading »

Okay everyone, don’t get used to multiple posts a day. One a day is my regular schedule, but I have been so backed up and been hit with time related news that I have felt I should post more than one post a day. Please keep the stories coming just be patient with me getting them all out

Chris just let me know about this affordable hand hewn log cabin he found on Craigslist and I thought I should get it up while it was still available. This one is also in New York. You can view the Craigslist link here. I am really impressed with Bills quality of work and want to get in touch with him and learn more about his work. So I may have a post on him at sometime in the future.

Jon Anderson of McGowan Lake, Minnesota has been constructing a log cabin on his property that he calls “The Stump Ranch.” Jon has put together an article and pictures to share with us about his project.  Jon has a blog called the peelinglogs.blogspot.com and you can follow his progress on it. Here is Jon to tell us about The Stump Ranch.

For some, a log cabin is a shelter from the elements. For others, a cabin is a home built with sweat equity and passion. In my case, a log cabin is simply a diversion that keeps me away from the tequila and pharmaceuticals that are so near and dear to my heart.

I have always loved the outdoors which includes hiking, snowshoeing, backpacking, camping, chainsaw work, and even a little fishing. It seems natural that at some point, I might want to tackle a project or two that aligned with my desire to work outside. Well, I selected building a hand-scribed log cabin. Oh, and of course, I would choose to do so from scratch. Meaning I cut down the trees, peeled the bark with a draw-knife, and then cut and notched the trees with axe, adze, and chainsaw. And, I picked a location to build said cabin that was three miles back in the woods where you there was no power, no services, and no way you could get a vehicle anywhere close.  Probably my Swedish heritage… I am very persistent. However, based on my cabin location—intelligence…maybe no much. Continue Reading »
