Mobile Cabins in Montana

Mobile cabins combine the convenience of a mobile home with the aesthetic of a Montana cabin. A few Montana builders specialize in mobile cabins, which are fully constructed at the builder's yard and trailered intact to your building site. With their small footprints, small environmental impacts, and undeniably western appeal, mobile cabins have created quite a buzz among "tiny home" enthusiasts. If you own a bit of recreation land in Montana but do not want to spend your vacation time supervising onsite construction or assembling your cabin from a kit, a mobile cabin may be a perfect ready-made solution.

Shotgun Construction Mobile Cabins

Shotgun Construction, in the small, south-central Montana town of Whitehall, is the king of the hill if you are looking for genuine log construction. The company's cadre of log smiths handcrafts each mobile cabin in a careful process that starts with selecting suitable logs and uses old-fashioned hand tools every step of the way. The cabins, which can be as large as 18 feet by 24 feet, feature wood floors and ceilings, and covered front porches for relaxing after a day on the trail. Owners, who help Shotgun with cabin design, can choose from a variety of options ranging from lofts to interior walls to plumbing and electrical wiring. The cabin is delivered to your site on a trailer and set up by the company's experts.

Montana Cabin Exchange

Montana Cabin Exchange is another family-run company in south-central Montana that specializes in mobile cabins. Located in Bozeman, Montana Cabin Exchange offers its mobile cabins in a variety of styles ranging from a stucco-sided "Southwest Country" cabin to a bare-bones bunkhouse. Although log siding is an available option, Montana Cabin Exchange does not build from whole logs. Cabins range up to 11 feet by 24 feet and are delivered finished to your site. For smaller cabins, the company offers the option of attaching a trailer and axel to the cabin so you can tow it yourself.

Family Kabins of Montana

Family Kabins, in the tiny central Montana town of Vaughn, is yet another family-run operation that can build a completed cabin in its yard and ship it intact to your building site. Log construction and plenty of exposed wood characterize these cabins, which are made from tongue-and-groove "D" logs milled in Montana. This construction gives a log-cabin look to the exterior, while creating a conveniently smooth wall surface resembling wood paneling on the interior.

Research Other Log Home Builders

Dozens of log home builders serve Montana. Although few specialize in pre-built, "mobile" cabins, inquiring with local companies might help you find a builder nearby that is able and willing to construct a mobile cabin for your recreation site. Although the three companies listed above will deliver across Montana and to surrounding states, you may save significantly on delivery charges by working with a local builder.
