Trophy Amish Cabins,LLC

About Us

My family and I always enjoy visiting our 45 acre property, we are able to appreciate activities such as hunting, fishing, hiking, nature watching, ATV trails, and camp fires; however, setting up and sleeping in a tent, was a hassle. The nearby hotel was taking away our out door camping experience, wasting both time and money.

We soon decided that our weekend get a way visits would be more enjoyable with a permanent place to stay, on site. We looked at used pop ups, trailers, and motor homes. But we didn't like the short ceilings, maintenance, and the fact that they are built light and if not stored inside, they attract rodents and insects and deteriorate quickly. We decided on building a small week end Cabin so I drew up the plans to build our own cabin. We realized we didn't have the time to build, and decided to buy a cabin instead.

That's when I heard about some Amish built Log Cabins that were delivered turn key. We drove around to many builders and inspected the cabins, finding ourselves very disappointed. They were very cheaply built, 4" x 4" treated runners, 5/8" plywood floors, 2" x 4" stud walls, metal braces, 7/16" particle board roof sheathing, three slat shingles, and split faced pine exterior. Hardly a Cabin, more like a fancy shed. We didn't want to stare at studs; the interior would have to be finished. There were braces, brackets, manufacturer's names all over the interior lumber. Might as well wire and insulate it too, not to mention the ceiling and wall covering material. Drywall was not an option; at $10 sq/ft Solid pine trim was too expensive. Then again I would have to do all the work, transport a generator, fuel, tools, locate and pick up material, cut and fit every piece on site, not to mention food, and refreshments, and my good intentioned invisible helper friends. Lets not forget gas, it's expensive to drive all over picking up materials and last minute runs to the hardware store, miles away, and maybe even closed, plus all that time.

Soon enough we heard that some of the Amish built Real Log Cabins.  We traveled to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana meeting them and touring their facilities. That is when we came across a small family run Amish shop and met Ivan.  After speaking to him and touring his shop, we ordered our Cabin on the spot!  During hunting season, in efforts to keep the bugs away and to avoid tracking water, snow, and mud inside our beautiful cabin, we came up with the idea to build a screened-in porch and incorporated the design into our cabin.  We also added more windows, to enjoy the view of the ponds, and a cool summer breeze, as well as accommodations for the wood burning stove.  We also constructed a custom built solid Pine bunk bed and stools, to compliment  the decor of the cabin. The Cabin was perfect; everyone kept asking us where they could get one built, just like it. We partnered with Ivan and that was the beginning of Trophy Amish Cabins, LLC.
