What Is a Cabin or Dwelling?

Kanga’s Cabins & Dwellings are fully livable, highly customizable structures designed to function as complete homes. Whether you’re dreaming of a weekend getaway, downsizing to a smaller footprint, or investing in a rental property, these models offer all the comfort and convenience of traditional housing — just smarter and more efficient.



Available in both Modern and Cottage styles, these dwellings feature real kitchens, bathrooms, insulation, vaulted ceilings, and space for multiple bedrooms. They meet residential code standards and can be built as primary homes, vacation escapes, or long-term ADUs on your property.
