As many of you know I am a big fan of the old fashioned log construction. My dream for years was to have a log cabin in the woods. I just discovered a company in Colorado who just might make it possible and I wanted to share it with those who have a similar dream.
Forest Classics Log Homess portable cabins are the perfect addition to any property. Easily place these cabins anywhere you want-usually with no building permit required. Our portable cabins are real, hand-crafted log homes mounted on a permanent trailer frame. Starting at just $12,000 and up.
Here at Forest Classics Ltd., we understand building small and portable. We originally built our little cabin as a “show cabin” to take to Expo’s and Home/Living shows to demonstrate and promote our custom homes and craftsmanship. As it turns out this little portable cabin turned into quite a “hit.”
Since Forest Classics Ltd is a completely custom builder, we do not have any other “models” or plans. However we do have several clients that we are helping to design their own little cabins. If you have an idea that you drew on a napkin, we can take it from there.
This particular cabin is an 8 ½ x 20 170 square foot with a 8 ½ x 4 ft covered deck, Dovetail Style Full Log, hand hewn, with an Adze finish. The ceiling is Aspen T&G, the door & windows are Sierra Pacific and the flooring is a beautiful Hickory. Since this one was built for show it does not have any plumbing or heating, however it is wired for electricity. This size of a cabin is perfect for any size lot.
The weight of the cabin is approximately 10,000 pounds. Our custom cabins can be made lighter if needed.
As far as the chinking is concerned we use and are a provider of Sashco Products. This is a high quality acrylic rubber variant that is made to look like cement. This life time product is very flexible and durable. The Cabin is held together by structural notches.

They don’t seem to make any mention of how much it weighs. I wonder why?
It’s in the article, about 10K lbs
There is one size there but I would assume they have more sizes to suite the requirements of the consumer. They look really great, you could either have one as a summer house in your garden or possibly buy a plot on a log cabin park and rent them out.
Hi Tim – Brandon sent me the weight and I have inserted it above. Here is what he said: The weight of the cabin is approximately 10,000 pounds. Our custom cabins can be made lighter if needed.
Thanks Kent. Yeah, that’s pretty heavy.
I love this site – it’s just full of cool stuff. Tiny cabins! Brill! 🙂
So far what I have seen I love it,I am downsizing and this seems to be just what I would like. How much comes complete,or do we have to finish the inside.Also interested in a price range. Anxious to get info and get started. Thank You
what kind of logs do you used for your cabins
I was wondering if u could send me literature on portable cabins
Hi Charles, you need to contact the company, this is just a post about them.
Hi Kent.
Any idea how to contact the company? I tried the phone number listed on the photos above and it’s been disconnected. Appreciate it.
Hi Scott, it seems maybe they have gone out of business. I would google search on them and see if you can track them down somehow.
