Purchasing a customizable cabin is a rewarding journey, and personalizing your space allows you to tailor it to your unique preferences and lifestyle. To ensure your cabin becomes the haven you've always dreamed of, consider these top five crucial aspects when embarking on the customization process.


1. Functional Layout: Choosing a functional layout is paramount. Consider how you intend to use each space within your cabin. Choose a floor plan that optimizes the flow between rooms, allocate areas for specific activities, and ensure that the layout aligns with your daily routines. A well-thought-out floor plan enhances both comfort and convenience. Remember to consider porch space. It's a great way to extend your living space to the outdoors.

One customer chose to customize this floorplan by adding a wall

in the kitchen to create a walk-through pantry/coat room leading to the deck.


2. Natural Light and Views: Maximize the beauty of your surroundings by incorporating ample natural light and capturing scenic views. Strategically place windows to invite sunlight and frame picturesque landscapes. Consider the orientation of your cabin to make the most of sunrise and sunset views, creating a connection with nature from within.

The Eagle's Nest is a favorite for increasing natural light while the

covered porch design protects from direct sunlight that adds to cooling costs.


3. Energy-Efficient Features: Embrace sustainability by integrating energy-efficient features into your cabin. Pennwood cabins offers great insulation packages, high quality windows and energy-efficient mini-split heating systems. Not only do these choices reduce your environmental impact, but they also contribute to long-term cost savings.

4. Custom Storage Solutions: Efficient storage is key to maintaining a clutter-free and organized cabin. Customized storage solutions catered to your needs will maximize space and keep your cabin tidy. From built-in cabinets to creative shelving, consider how each area can serve multiple functions while keeping your belongings neatly stored away.

5. Personalized Aesthetics: Infuse your personality into the cabin's aesthetics. Choose materials, colors, and decor that resonate with your style. Whether you prefer a rustic, traditional, or modern look, ensure that every element reflects your taste. Personal touches, such as artwork or handmade furnishings, can transform your cabin into a true reflection of your identity.

Happy customizing!
