Amish log cabins in Pennsylvania
Construction and carpentry are primary industries in many Amish communities in Pennsylvania. Amish craftsmen create both pre-built cabins and log homes built on site to customer specifications. Pre-assembled cabins are a popular option for those in search of a hunting cabin, summer cabin, or backyard getway structure. In addition, some sellers of Amish cabins promote rental cabins, which can offer a financially rewarding investment as a lodging option.
Amish workers may build log cabins and other outdoor buildings at home businesses located on Amish properties, or may be hired as employees of non-Amish-owned cabin and log home companies. In their own shops, Amish workers typically use modern tools which are powered not by electricity, but which are adapted to run on hydraulic or pneumatic power.
When Amish construction crews and carpenters work off-site in Pennsylvania and other locations, they typically utilize the public-grid power available at the owner’s home. This is not permissible in all Amish communities but is the norm in numerous Pennsylvania Amish communities, including the Lancaster County settlement.
Pre-assembled Amish-built log cabins can offer an affordable secondary residence or even a primary home. Since they are built off-site, the homeowner avoids the bulk of the mess and potential delays associated with on-site construction. Some companies offer both standard models of log cabins, as well as building log homes on a custom basis.
Amish communities in PA
For over 250 years, Amish have made their home in the Keystone State. While traditionally considered an agrarian people, the past few decades have seen a decline in farming and a corresponding increase in entrepreneurship among Amish (both in PA and nationwide) including manufacturing of wood products and structures such as cabins.
Amish cabin builders and retailers can be found in locations across Pennsylvania. While some Amish companies provide log homes and cabins directly, in other cases Amish craftsmen may work for a non-Amish owned company.
Finding an Amish log cabin or log home builder can be done via online resources or in some cases by visiting an Amish community and finding one locally.
Pennsylvania is home to over 50 Amish communities, ranging from tiny communities of a few households to settlements of multiple thousands of Amish residents.
Below are listed a few of the major Amish communites in Pennsylvania. For more see our piece on the Amish in Pennsylvania.
Lancaster County: Best-known of any Amish settlement, Lancaster is also one of the largest Amish communities. Hundreds of Amish businesses are found in this part of southeastern Pennsylvania, including Amish outdoor building manufacturers.
Smicksburg (Indiana County): In this sizeable community located in west Pennsylvania (around an hour outside Pittsburgh) live over 2,000 Amish.
Big Valley: This central Pennsylvania settlement is located in the 30-mile long Kishacoquillas Vally, appropriately known colloquilally as “Big Valley”. A number of differing groups of Amish are located in this settlement varying in their degree of traditionalism. Numerous Amish-owned manufacturing businesses can be found in the Big Valley community.

Amish Cabin Kits
Dear Sirs:
Are there any log cabin kits being made closer to California? The cost would be prohibitive to ship the cabin kits from Pennsylvania to here. I would appreciate your suggesting another source (ideally an Amish business) that supplies cabins or cabin kits or cottage kits closer to California.
Thank you.
