Making Your Backyard Work For You.

Key Features

We Handle Everything

We have thoughtfully designed the entire process, from ordering to install. Once you’ve ordered your Kabin our team handles all the permitting, site preparation, foundation, utility connections, construction, installation, site clean-up, and final inspections. You don’t have to worry about hiring or coordinating anything. 

Environmentally Friendly

All of our Kabins are certified 4-star BuiltGreen. Starting with our high-tech foundation system that allows almost all of the existing landscaping to stay in place, we build the Kabin itself from renewable resources supplied locally. Designed to our specifications, components are fabricated for lower cost and lower waste than traditional construction. We use energy-efficient LED lighting, zero air gap wall insulation, and low VOC paints.

Low Price

Our unique approach to designing a cottage from the ground up allows us to offer a beautiful high quality product at a very affordable price. Because we do everything we can offer an installed price up front with no need to worry about hidden costs or change orders down the road. You will spend MUCH less on your Kabin than on any other method of putting in a backyard cottage.

Designs And Options

We have multiple designs so you can get the Kabin that fits your needs, with interior and exterior options to suit your personal style. Lots of colors or we can match to your existing home.  We’ll be happy to review all the Kabin options and answer any questions.

Why We’re Different

Foundation Technology

We are building smarter, from the ground up. Our exclusive Karry Beam foundation system removes the need for heavy machinery and pouring concrete. This superior method lowers costs and reduces your environmental impact.

Energy Efficient

The entire process is designed for energy efficiency. We utilize a locally sourced green building product for our floor, walls, and roof structure that has a solid core of graphite polystyrene insulation. Resulting in a more comfortable energy efficient space than traditional construction methods.

Quick Installations

We’ve designed our Kabins with installation in mind. By using local resources and suppliers, and our unique low environmental impact foundations, most homes have a ready to move in Kabin in as little as 6 weeks. With MyKabin, we take care of it all with minimal disruption to your life.
