Cabins have long been a welcome retreat for people looking to escape their busy lives and connect with nature’s tranquility. And prefab cabins are particularly stellar nature retreats because they allow you to choose where, exactly, in nature you want to be.
Prefab cabins are either partially or fully built in a factory and can be delivered to virtually any location you can imagine, making them ideal for folks seeking an off-grid getaway. But even if going off the grid isn’t exactly your thing, prefab cabins are still a great option because you can choose the precise location where you want it to be built, whether you want to be a stone’s throw from city life or situated in the middle of nowhere.
And many prefab cabins today are as beautiful as they are practical, with an increasing number of companies creating stunning, design-forward options that allow you to take in nature with style. Below, we highlight some of the best modern prefab cabins you can purchase today.
Abodu One ADU
Abodu offers several prefab cabins, but the Abodu One is its flagship design, which is equal parts minimal, practical, and stunning. The one-bedroom accessory dwelling unit (ADU) starts at $225,900 and includes a full-sized living area, a kitchen with appliances, a bathroom, and soaring cathedral ceilings, making it feel much more expansive than its 500-square-foot footprint. It can also work equally well as a backyard retreat as it does a remote getaway in a faraway land, allowing you to make it anything that you want it to be.
Ark-Shelter
Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows in addition to a glass ceiling, the Ark-Shelter makes it easy to enjoy the beauty of nature from the shelter of a cozy, design-forward retreat. The cabin is handcrafted with sustainability in mind, boasting a self-sufficient system, including rain water collection and solar panels, and a zero-impact footprint. It also features a modular design, which means you can expand the cabin as your needs grow. Even better, the cabin can be constructed in less than a day on everything from mountains and fields to forests and lakesides, so it’s ideal for anyone looking for a truly remote getaway.
AYFRAYM Cabin
If you’re in the market for a prefab cabin with a side of luxury, then you can’t go wrong with the AYFRAYM from Everywhere Co. The cabin features a classic A-frame design that spans 1,574 square feet and includes five bedrooms, making it perfect for a group retreat. Meanwhile, a lookout loft with panoramic windows makes it easy to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding locale, while a series of walk-out decks lets you step right into nature from your bedroom. You can also choose from two build options: Managed or Unmanaged. The Managed Build option means Everywhere Co. will build it for you, while Unmanaged Build lets you choose your own builder.
Porch House
Prefab definitely doesn’t have to mean lack of customizations, as evidenced by the ever-customizable Porch House. The modular cabin can be built and expanded with a variety of custom-designed rooms, depending on your needs. And they’re constructed with dog runs that make it easier to build the homes on unusual sites and in uncertain conditions. The cabin’s modular design also means that it can be oriented to maximize your views, solar polar, and/or breezes. Plus, you can choose different "porch elements", such as breezeways, carports, and standard porches, to meet your needs and connect various rooms to one another.
Back Country Hut System 01
With its flexible floor plan and modular design, this beautiful cabin from Back Country Hut is another highly customizable option. It features an open floor plan on the ground floor, complete with walls of windows, as well as a loft space up above, which provides a cozy area for sleeping or storage. The cabin's modular design also lets you choose just how big (or small) it is, while custom options, like skylights and built-in furniture, help you make the cabin your very own.
