Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of nature in this secluded 12' x 22' A-Frame Cabin. Located beside a brook in the woods of Chesterfield, MA, this cabin offers a luxurious camping experience for solo campers or couples. This cabin was sent to the customer as a timber frame kit, and they finished the build themselves and turned it into a vacation spot for guests. Spend nights by the fire, and head inside the cabin to rest in the queen sized bed. In the morning, a coffee & tea station is there to help you get ready for a day of hiking, swimming, and enjoying the outdoors. The authentic post & beam construction of the A-Frame fits right in with the surrounding area. 

This year’s Big E Display has two cabins that are different, yet ideal for any situation. We are once again collaborating with Earthlight Technologies to create an Off-Grid Solar Cabin, combining our 14' x 22' Grand Victorian Cape Shed with a timber frame overhang and their Solar Package. We also have our all-new post & beam A-Frame Cabin on display, with authentic timber frame construction, interior finishes, electric, LED lights, heat, A/C, and more. Let’s take a look at these two incredible cabins. 

Across the Barn Yard Covered Bridge, four buildings are on display in a new showcase area. Take a stroll and see the brand new A-Frame Cabin, as well as a Trapper’s Cabin and Gallatin Cabin. Plus, take a look at the Modern Serenity Cove, a new shed delivered fully finished. Relax by the fire pit and be inspired by the beautiful landscaping and modern features. Read on for a photo tour, highlighting each of the new buildings. 

We demonstrated how to raise the timber frame for the Gallatin Cabin at our 2025 Open House. With authentic joinery precisely crafted by CNC machine & hand-finished, the timbers connected easily and were secured by oak pegs in place of nails. This cabin is available fully built by our crew on your New England property, or shipped in kit form nationwide. Imagine building your own timber frame cabin. Now you can make it a reality. The Barn Yard has many cabin, barn, and home kits, with custom sizes & features available.

Take a tour of the post & beam A-Frame Cabin, Trapper’s Cabin, and Gallatin Cabin, all built with authentic timber frame construction, and learn about the features of each building. Check out the Serenity Cove for a modern take on a building delivered fully finished.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our timber frame cabins are right at home in a secluded area—the ideal retreat on your wooded property. Take inspiration and dive into nature with this 10' x 18' Trapper’s Cabin in the Catskills of New York.

We are excited to introduce a new addition to the post & beam cabin series: the A-Frame Cabin. This cabin is full authentic post & beam. A steep roof extends from the ridge down to the timber sills, creating the A-Frame shape. Enjoy the views of nature through either of the large Andersen windows. With space to work, sleep, and prepare a warm beverage, this cabin is ideal for use as a base camp, home office, or a cozy cabin in the woods. The A-Frame is our first cabin available fully assembled nationwide, with insulation, electric, heat, and air conditioning included. Read on for a photo tour.

We are offering our display Trapper’s Cabin at a special price. This cabin, previously on display at our Ellington Showcase, is true post & beam, with a 5' open lean-to porch, a pine door with oak latch & authentic strap hinges, a 9' wall height, and authentic mortise & tenon joinery throughout. The exterior has been stained, and the interior has a poly finish and painted floor. But, once it’s gone, it’s gone.
