Anyone know anything about these? We were talking the other day about leveling the trailer park and putting in some of these and renting them out to sports fishermen. We get them asking all the time about accommodations. I like these because we'd be sticking close to our trailer park roots and they're kinda cute:

We have quite a number of very crafty carpenters at Prince of Wales, and around Craig, that could turn some of those out at far less...especially if ya wanted to do more than one from the same plans

OMG I love it!! I could build one and haul it up behind my car. Solves shipping up your belongings and finding a rental all in one shot! Plus you would save in hotel and resturant costs on the trip up.......god I must really be bored to sit & figure out a way to make that work for me LOL!

Sounds good; it's a couple of years down the road though. Could start with one and see how it flies. Last season the lodges were down in occupancy around 25 percent; on the other hand there did seem to be interest in independent lodging. Ideally we'd have someone put it up right on property.

Please name a couple that can show up to work sober on a regular basis. (And I'm sure that if you find one we can fix that right up too).

sounds like a plan!! Here we have a huge sporting goods store called Cabellas (not sure if they have them everywhere). But out in front they sell these small log cabins, for hunters mostly I would guess. One room, separate bed & bath, could probably fit in my living room here. Everyone thinks I'm daft because I keep saying that is all I want, up in the mountains somewhere. Who wants all the cleaning and upkeep of a big place when there is so much to do outside!! I must be daft!

Not really, no. When the offspring flew the coop for Europe/college, I was glad to unload the big old drafty house for smaller spaces.
