Lyle over at Jalopy Cabins contacted me this week about the completion of their latest tiny cabin… The Ski Hut. This tiny home is 10′ by 16′ plus it has a 6′ porch. The logs came from their local Wolf Creek Ski area from when they cleaned up the slopes. They were hand peeled and constructed like Lincoln Logs. I’ll pass it over to Lyle…
If you are not familiar with Jalopy Cabins, it is our mission to use primarily reclaimed or salvaged materials, or someone else’s mistakes (for example the windows on this cabin) to build energy efficient one of a kind cabins
The logs for our latest cabin came off a ski resort about 30 minutes from where we live and were from the clean up they did for the slopes before the season began last year (hence the name for this cabin!). The hand peeled round logs were more work but really worth it in the end.
All roofing was salvaged from an older house along with the rafters. The door was salvaged and given new life with a working door knob and some new paint.
The windows were someone’s custom order that they didn’t like so we were able to get these nice new windows for a great deal which is inline with our goal of having energy efficient cabins.
All new insulation was used in the ceiling and floor to also help with energy efficiency. The ceiling has high density foam and the floor has radiant energy insulation.

Love this tiny log cabin! My dream is to one day own a log house on about 8 acres of land. Someday…
I'd want some bars or other security feature to make my Jalopy cabin 100% bear proof. The Ski Hut windows and door would not stand up to a determined bear. Otherwise, they're pretty cute.

It’s amazing how you can take a concept as old as a log cabin and make someone in 2011 say “I really want that”. I think this is a beautiful tiny house.
Hi Steven, you’re doing a great job with your site. I love this cabin too. Cool how you can still bring back something “old”.
Thanks Alex. I really appreciate that. Alot of elbow grease has gone into the site! Please let me know if I can do anything for you. I’ll be in touch.
I’d like to know of somebody building tiny cabins similar to these in the southeast. I live near Greenville, SC.
Thanks Steven! Sorry I somehow missed your reply… can’t believe it took me months to see it. Talk to you soon though.
Glad you stopped by Carl. Are you looking for a tiny cabin on a trailer or something on a regular foundation?
