This five-room cabin, designed principally for camping, would make a fairly comfortable house for a small family. A basement could be provided, with the entrance down a stairway from the back porch. Loft space could be reached from an open stair in the living room.
The cabin is 42 x 32.5. It has two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs. There are front and back covered porches.
