Follow Special price for Father’s Day, the 20×30 ft set costs $23,149 for the frame alone, and $32,069 for the pre-cut kit complete with a weatherproof case.

In every option, you’ll get a rough sawn column and beam frame, project plans, sections organized to fit the plan, and all the hardware needed to assemble the house.
While Cabin Vermont is my top pick, it’s not the only Jamaica Cottage Shop model that caught my eye. An affordable, versatile homeware store that sells frame thread pre-cut kits, complete sets, three-season sets, four-season sets, fully assembled versions. You can choose what you need based on your budget. If the Vermont Cabin is out of your price range, check out the Vermont Cottage series which is smaller overall, but feels the same for a lower price.
The company ships up to 300 miles from their Southern Vermont plant. Their smallest 8×12 ft Cross Gable home costs just $2,769 for the frame-only kit and $7,709 to arrive at your door fully assembled. Their solar cabin measures 14×20 ft and features four-season insulation, plumbing, electricity, and a wood stove, all in Special price for Father’s Day out of a total of $49,027. You can also buy single-family packages for about $100.
