Typical Cabin Layouts
These are typical layouts for cabins of each type. Individual cabins may differ somewhat from them.
A-Frame
cabins typically have a counter and wooden beds against the sloped
walls. A ladder against the back wall leads to a wooden-floored loft which
can also be used for sleeping space. Cabins also contain a stove for heat
and a wooden table and benches. A number of A-Frames have been modified
by extending all or part of one sloped wall out to vertical, providing
more room in the cabin (see below).
Hunter-style cabins typically have a counter against one wall and one or more sets of wooden bunk beds, as well as a wooden table and benches. Cabins also contain a stove for heat. Pan-abode cabins are similar to hunter-style and have much the same layout (below).
