Lancaster Log Cabins is a family-operated builder based in Gap, Pennsylvania, founded in 2016 with roots in the log cabin trade going back to 1990. The company builds 100% turn-key Park Model RV cabins from real lumber — assembled on heavy-duty trailer frames in their Lancaster County production facility and shipped throughout the contiguous United States.
Their product line covers both traditional log park models and a modern park model series (Scandinavian Sierra, Coastal Sierra, Coastal Lakeview, Coastal Rancher), plus glamping pods, one-room cabins, and bathhouses. All units are RVIA-sealed and meet ANSI A119.5 standards for Recreational Park Trailers, with VIN numbers and the typical Park Model RV benefit of no permits or property taxes in most jurisdictions.
Lancaster Log Cabins is an approved KOA vendor, making their cabins a common fit for campgrounds, vacation rentals, Airbnbs, hunting camps, retirement homes, and ADU placement. They operate Monday through Saturday, with show cabins available for self-guided tours 24/7 at their Gap, PA location.
Lancaster Log Cabins occupies a specific niche on ModelTown: real-wood Park Model RVs at price points that compete with most prefab studios. Their modern series — fronted by the Scandinavian Sierra — pairs clean contemporary lines with the same heavy-duty trailer frame and RVIA-sealed construction used across their log park model lineup, which makes them especially relevant for campground operators, short-term rental investors, and buyers comparing tiny home alternatives.
What stands out is the dual-tier pricing structure (Commercial vs. Retail) and the explicit KOA-vendor approval — both signals that Lancaster has built its business around the rental and campground market rather than primary residence buyers. For buyers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, the Gap, PA location offers a meaningful shipping cost advantage compared to most prefab manufacturers, who are concentrated on the West Coast or in the Southeast.
Lancaster's modern cabins are classified as Park Model RVs — they carry a VIN, are sealed by RVIA, and meet ANSI A119.5 standards. This means most jurisdictions don't require permits or property tax on the cabin itself, though local zoning still applies. Lancaster notes their cabins hold up well year-round, but they're intended for recreational use rather than permanent residency.
Commercial pricing is offered to campgrounds, RV parks, and rental operators. Retail pricing applies to personal-use buyers. The price difference is typically $5,000 per model.
No — freight and set-up are not included in pricing. Buyers are responsible for all site work, hook-ups, blocking, leveling, skirting, and porch steps. Lancaster recommends working with local contractors for these steps.
Because they're Park Model RVs, they qualify for RV loans or tiny-home loans. Lancaster doesn't offer financing directly but can recommend lenders.
