We are looking for an affordable modular home that would make a small cottage, a small adorable cottage that could be an ADU. We had looked at Deer Run Cabins log cabins earlier. They also make affordable, customizable modular cabins that are not log.<\/p>\n

These examples are from their website and Facebook page.<\/p>\n

Elk with White Wash Interior<\/h2>\n

This is the Elk model. It looks like a cottage to me.<\/p>\n

Elk<\/strong><\/p>\n

One or two bedrooms depending on the size of the unit and your individual customized design. These designs could be used for your personal home, get away cabin, commercial camp grounds, hotels, guest houses, and even offices! All are customizable to fit your needs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The porch is small, but evidently big enough for a porch swing…<\/p>\n

This is an Elk with two dormers and a reverse gable.<\/p>\n

\"Double

Working Dormers let light in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The dormer windows aren’t just for looks. (Did you know that on a lot of houses the dormers are just stuck on the roof for looks and don’t add any light anywhere. Some of them at least open into the attic, but others are completely fake.)<\/p>\n

\"\"

How about this? Without the dormers?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Don’t like the dormer windows? They are options. I faked up this version without the windows.<\/p>\n

Here is an example floor plan. You can see a lot of other floor plans on their website.<\/p>\n

All of the modular cabins are 14-feet wide. The smallest ones they show are 28-feet long. That makes a 392 square foot cabin. The largest plan they show is 58-feet long, for an 812 square foot cabin. You can also connect two or more together.<\/p>\n

You can change the layout, but the floor plans on the site are practical. And really, how many ways can you rearrange 14 feet wide?<\/p>\n

The ceiling is open. The walls, floor and ceiling are finished in wood.<\/p>\n

Light colored white wash walls and light natural finish floor. Looks Coastal, Beach Cottage.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The Basic interior is left unfinished. On Premium models “walls and ceilings are all clear coated, floors are stained and clear coated.” This must be custom.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Deer Run Cabins 14 x 44 Elk White Wash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Basic doesn’t come with a kitchen. It is plumbed and wired, but we would add the kitchen ourselves. Premium models have “12 lineal feet of upper and lower kitchen cabinets.” Custom kitchens are available.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Premium models have a full bath, including shower, toilet and vanity with porcelain sink.<\/p>\n

Caribou with Brightly Painted Walls<\/h2>\n

This is the Caribou cabin.<\/p>\n

Caribou<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Caribou Model is a \u201cReverse Gable\u201d design to allow for a vaulted ceiling area to increase the size and feel of the living space. One or two bedrooms depending on the size of the unit and your individual customized design. The Caribou cabin makes a great getaway cabin to campgrounds, guest houses, and even an office!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is what it means by Reverse Gable design. This makes the ceiling higher inside, too.<\/p>\n

All of the wood is painted, doors, frame, cabinets… Look! The kitchen is another room!<\/p>\n

It doesn’t look like drywall is offered as an option. I didn’t see it anywhere, but I intend to find out.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Deer Run Cabins 14 x 44 Whitetail
The Whitetail model is really basic, but once it has a porch, it looks completely different.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whitetail Basic Cabin<\/h2>\n

This is the most basic cabin. It is just a box, but you can add any of the options to it.<\/p>\n

Whitetail<\/strong><\/p>\n

The White Tail Model is our basic cabin design with the option of adding on a porch to the front or back in a size of the customers choosing. Bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, a living area, and the option of a covered porch.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"
Deer Run Cabins Whitetail with Log Siding and Porch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It doesn’t look like much, but add a front porch and it will be transformed. Deer Run Cabins can add a covered or un-covered porch to any of these cabins. Or we can add a porch kit and complete the porch ourselves. Or add a porch later…<\/p>\n

I would add a porch that is 12-feet deep.<\/p>\n

These are some ideas of available floor plans. There are more shown on the Deer Run Cabins website. Or you can customize the plans and design your own cabin.<\/p>\n

Deer Run Cabins also makes kits and on-site built cabins, but that is not what we are looking for. We want a cabin that is pre-built off-frame modular. We are looking at cabins that are delivered completely assembled. They are modular with only one module, a single-wide modular. They are built at a factory, then delivered and placed on our foundation.<\/p>\n

These are the first questions I need an answer to;<\/p>\n
