A Jacobs Construction cabin under the pines on Cedar Mountain

Custom cabins

Five cabins, priced

From an 1,100 square-foot porch cabin to a 3,500 square-foot lodge — with floor plans, features, price range and projected rental performance for each one.

What the prices include

These are price ranges for the structure. They do not include the land, the site work, or the utilities — and on Cedar Mountain those three line items vary more than the house does.

A gently sloped lot with power at the road is a very different number from a steep parcel needing a long driveway, a septic system and a power run. That's exactly why the Griffin Team walks the lot with the builder before you buy: so the cabin price you see here is the part that stops surprising you.

Included

The home itself, built to plan by Jacobs Construction.

Not included

Land, site work, utilities, septic or well, driveway.

Customizable

Every plan can be adjusted to your lot, your view and your finish level.

The Timber — architectural elevation of a 3,500 square-foot mountain lodge

Plan 01 · The flagship

The Timber

Price range$1,500,000 – $1,575,000

The largest of the five and the only one drawn as a full lodge: a long multi-gable roofline, a deep timber entry on stone piers, and living stacked above a tuck-under garage level. Three bedrooms plus a bunk room, and a loft built for the group that takes the whole mountain house.

  • 4–6 bed
  • 4.5 bath

Property features

  • 3 bedrooms & bunk room
  • 4.5 bathrooms

The Mountain — a completed Jacobs Construction build, three levels with a wraparound deck

Plan 02 · The classic

The Mountain

Price range$1,150,000 – $1,225,000

Three levels, an open great room and kitchen, and a deck that wraps the house. Heavy log posts and a steep glazed gable — the cabin most people picture when they say they want a cabin, at a size that still sleeps a large family. The photograph is a completed build rather than a rendering.

Plan 03 · The sweet spot

The View

Price range$660,000 – $735,000

Four bedrooms for well under half the price of the lodge. A shed roof, two levels of covered deck facing the view, and a downstairs family room that does the work of a second living space. If you want beds per dollar, this is the plan.

The Hollow — rendering of a 1,750 square-foot cabin with a deep shed-roof overhang

Plan 04 · The highest occupancy

The Hollow

Price range$615,000 – $690,000

A single sweeping shed roof with a deep overhang that shelters the deck — which matters more than it sounds when the snow comes off. Two bedrooms, a separate office, and the strongest projected occupancy of the five.

  • 2 bed
  • 2 bath

290 Porcupine Drive is this layout, finished and lived in. The listing counts more beds and baths than the plan does — that difference is the outbuildings on the lot, not the cabin.

The Pine — rendering of an 1,100 square-foot gable cabin with a wraparound porch

Plan 05 · The entry point

The Pine

Price range$450,000 – $525,000

The classic: a steep gable, a chimney, and a porch that wraps the whole cabin on piers. Two bedrooms and a bunk room on one level, and the cheapest way onto this mountain with something new.

Rental projections are provided as a courtesy through AirDNA.com. Buyer to verify all rental numbers. They are estimates, not guarantees. Nights per year, monthly average, revenue per square foot and the revenue-to-price ratio are arithmetic on those AirDNA figures, not separate forecasts. Each price is shown as a range covering finish level and site conditions; the ratio column divides gross revenue by the high and low ends of that range. The ratio divides gross revenue by the structure price — once land and site work are added to your total the real ratio will be lower, and gross revenue is before operating costs, management, cleaning, taxes and financing. Price ranges are for the structure and do not include land, site work or utilities.

What the numbers say

The small cabins fill more nights

Read the occupancy column top to bottom and it runs almost exactly opposite to size. The 3,500 square-foot lodge projects 176 booked nights a year. The 1,750 square-foot Hollow projects 220.

That's the trade in one line: the big cabins earn on rate, the small ones earn on nights. And once you divide the revenue by what the structure costs, the order flips almost completely — the Hollow projects 17.9–20.1% of its price range in gross revenue, the Timber 11.6–12.2%. Same story per square foot: $71 against $52.

None of which makes the small cabins the right answer. Gross revenue is before management, cleaning, taxes, insurance and financing, the ratios are against the structure price rather than your total cost with land, and a two-bedroom doesn't sleep the family reunion. It does mean the biggest cabin is rarely the best-performing one, which is worth knowing before you pick a plan.
