Modular Cabins

To get started, let’s explore where modular cabins find their roots. 

The concept of prefabricated housing gained traction in the early 1900s as a solution to the need for affordable and efficient housing. Companies like Sears, Roebuck and Company in the United States offered mail-order houses, which were pre-cut and pre-fabricated kits delivered to the customer's site for assembly.

Then, during World War II, there was a significant demand for quick and portable housing solutions for military personnel and war-related activities. The construction of modular or prefabricated buildings became more prevalent during this time to meet the urgent housing needs.

As modular construction grew in popularity, one need was met: quick, affordable housing. 

However, another need was left missing: durability and longevity. 

Many of the prefabricated, modular cabins built over the years made getting a house cheap, but it wasn’t a good long-term investment because the cabins started to fall apart or required a lot of maintenance in just a few years. 

Lancaster Log Cabins is here to change that. 

Yes, with us, you get a modular cabin that arrives on your property ready to use (meaning very little work for you). But beyond that, you also get a cabin that is built from solid timber – and that means you are getting a high quality product! 

Solid log modular cabins often last over 50 years with a little maintenance, and that’s just the beginning of the benefits. Here are a few other things you get with real wood modular cabins: 

• Rustic Appeal: IF you’ve always wanted a cabin that really makes you feel like you are getting away from it all, you can’t go wrong with these. Plus every cabin is unique with its beautiful wood grain and texture. 
• Insulation: Wood is a great insulator, meaning you’ll stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer – all without breaking the bank! 
• Environmentally Friendly: Wood is a renewable and sustainable material, contributing to eco-friendly construction practices.
• Low Cost: Since our cabins don’t need a basement, footer, and many other things that go with traditional houses they can be purchased at a much lower price. Plus, our cabins are technically classified as RV’s so in most areas, you don’t have to pay taxes on them! 

So, Lancaster Log Cabins has combined the affordability and convenience of modular housing with the quality of real wood construction. 

The result is a modular cabin you’ll love!
