Adding a cabin to your Texas property is one of the most rewarding investments you can make—whether it’s for family gatherings, weekend escapes, long-term living, or rental income. But figuring out how to actually buy a prefab cabin in Texas can be overwhelming if you don’t know the steps.
At Kendall Cabin Co., we’ve streamlined the process to make it clear, straightforward, and efficient. Our cabins are built by Texans, for Texans—crafted with durable materials, smart layouts, and features that hold up in Texas weather. Whether you’re ready to build a guesthouse, in-law suite, or a permanent residence, here’s how to move from vision to delivery, the Kendall Cabin way.
Step 1: Decide How You Plan to Use the Cabin
Every good project starts with purpose. Before choosing a model or floor plan, it’s important to define how your cabin will be used. Are you looking for a rental property? A family retreat? An independent living space for a parent?
At Kendall Cabin Co., we offer prefab cabins for nearly every use:
- The Rebecca Guest House is a perfect fit for guest lodging or a compact vacation rental.
- The Connie Ranch House, our largest model, suits full-time living with two bedrooms, two baths, and a large kitchen and living area.
- The Chaney Cottage is ideal for simple spaces like in-law suites, hunting cabins, or home offices.
Defining your goal helps narrow down your options and ensures the layout fits your needs from the start.
Step 2: Choose a Cabin Model or Request a Custom Design
Once you’ve got a purpose in mind, it’s time to explore cabin models. Our prefab cabins are designed to serve a wide range of functions and come in various sizes and layouts, all of which meet or exceed International Building Code standards.
Each of our standard models can be customized with features like:
- Additional bedrooms or bathrooms
- Sleeping lofts or storage lofts
- Covered porches or decks
- Rustic or modern finish packages
- Layout changes to accommodate accessibility
If one of our base models doesn’t quite fit what you need, we also offer fully custom-designed prefab cabins. You tell us what matters most, and our team will help you create a design that brings it to life.
Step 3: Select Your Interior and Exterior Finishes
With your floor plan selected, we’ll walk you through finish options to make your cabin truly yours. This includes:
- Cabinet styles and colors
- Flooring materials (we use durable heavy-duty plank as standard)
- Interior paint selections
- Exterior siding and roofing colors
Our team can guide you toward combinations that match your existing property or achieve the look you want, whether that’s rustic ranch or modern farmhouse.
Step 4: Reserve Your Spot with a Deposit
Once your model, layout, and finishes are finalized, we’ll provide you with a full quote and building timeline. To lock in your cabin’s production slot and materials, you’ll place a deposit.
We maintain transparency at every stage—no surprise fees, no vague delivery windows. Your quote includes the full cabin build, energy-efficient features, and delivery to your prepared site.
Step 5: Prepare Your Site for Delivery
While we build your cabin at our Texas facility, you’ll work on preparing your land. Site preparation typically involves:
- Clearing and leveling the build area
- Installing or planning for utilities (water, electric, septic)
- Creating road access for cabin delivery
We provide clear guidance on all prep work and will coordinate with you to ensure your property is ready by the time your cabin is complete.
Step 6: Delivery and Final Setup
When your cabin is ready, our delivery team will transport it directly to your property. Depending on your model and location, this may involve one-day delivery and placement or a short installation period for more complex custom builds.
Our prefab cabins arrive 90–95% complete, with utilities ready for hookup and only minor final touches needed. Once connected to power and water, your cabin is move-in ready.
Built in Texas, For Texans
Every Kendall Cabin Co. model is built locally in Texas using high-grade materials and expert craftsmanship. Features like spray foam insulation, double-pane windows, and ducted mini-split HVAC systems are standard—not upgrades. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t ship from out-of-state factories.
We know Texas land. We know Texas weather. And we know what it takes to build cabins that truly last.
