TRUSTED LOCAL BUSINESS
It’s Not Just a Cabin. It’s Your Escape, Office, Guest Space—or All Three.
At Cardinal Buildings, we believe a portable cabin should be more than just a shed with windows. It should feel like yours—solid, cozy, and built to last. That’s why every cabin we build is handcrafted with care right here in Cottage Hills, using premium materials and precision craftsmanship
Whether you’re creating a peaceful getaway, a backyard office, an art studio, or a guest space, we’ll build it how you want it—delivered ready to use and designed to impress.
Choose from a wide variety of styles like painted siding with a metal roof, vinyl siding with shingles, urethane finishes, classic wood siding, and more. Every detail—from the porch to the trim—is built to match your taste and your purpose.
From Quiet Retreats to Productive Work spaces—We Build the Cabin You Need
Our portable cabins are as versatile as they are durable. Some of our customers use them as
Weekend hunting or fishing cabins
Peaceful backyard offices or studios
Guest houses for visiting family and friends
Tiny homes, hobby spaces, or she-sheds
Rental units or short-term stay cabins
… and just about anything else you can imagine
Each cabin is custom-built to order, so whether you want rustic wood charm or a sleek modern look, we can make it happen. And because our cabins are portable, they can go just about anywhere—without the red tape of permanent construction.
Why Should You Call Cardinal?
Because we don’t just build buildings. We make it stupid simple to get exactly what you want—without wasting time or blowing your budget.

We got a lofted garage from Cardinal Buildings and couldn’t be happier. It’s strong, spacious, and exactly what we needed for our tools and ATV. Highly recommend!

I was blown away by the craftsmanship. We ordered a Victorian-style shed and it looks like something out of a magazine. It completely upgraded our backyard.”
