Differences Between Park Models and Cabins
Because of the durability of Conestoga’s engineered Everlast™ Logs, cabins never need to be replaced for the life of the campground. This provides a much higher ROI than park models. Park models can be used if you want a rental unit for only a few years and are not concerned about the overall resell value of the campground. Due to higher quality of materials in cabins, maintenance cost will be lower. Campers will come back for the log cabin experience and enjoy the additional space cabins provide.

Value of Log Cabin Kits Over Time
Log cabin kits offer value and prove to be a good investment when it comes to quality and design options. They are proven to be a good investment for both residential and commercial use. Here’s why:
Improve Property Value. Building log cabins or houses on your property helps to improve the value of the property.
Low Maintenance. The logs used by Conestoga Log Cabins and Homes mean the finished structures are considerable less maintenance than cabins produced by other companies.
Long-Lasting. Cabins will never need to be replaced vs. every 7 years for park models. Some log cabins first built hundreds of years ok are still standing and usable today.
Durable. While you can hope your log cabin never faces a major storm or other natural disaster, you can rest easy that it will withstand whatever Mother Nature throws its way. For example, one log home in Texas stayed standing even after a massive oak tree fell on its roof during Hurricane Rita.
