Let’s do a breakdown of the dollars…
The very first cost you need to take into consideration is the land. Lots can range from $35,000-$75,000+.

3 key factors influence the cost of a cabin:
- Land cost (we have used $35,000 as a basis, lots can go as high as $75,000+ in the Gorge).
- Cabin square footage (You can refer to our floorplans to help you decide on the size).
- Finish level (We typically offer a superior finish compared to other builders, but if you desire luxury features/complicated build elements, this will increase the overall cost per square foot).
