I’m looking to demolish my camp and either put a log cabin or a prefabricated cabin on the property. I have the foundation and all utilities already there. Just got back from the log cabin expo at the Oaks expo center. If anyone has gone this root any ideas/ help would be great.

If your not looking specifically for log cabin look then modular may be a more economical way to go. Buddy had this built for family and for camp. Came in 2 halves on a wheeled steel frame. Set on piers on a slab. Pics show before metal insulated skirt was added. 6” thick walls, many floor plans, furnished with all kitchen appliances and hookups for washer dryer. Prefinished vinyl covering on walls with battens covering seams. Since many of these are unheated over the winter the spackle joints would crack. Redman Homes built and a guy in southern tier NY sold and installed it. For the money it’s a decent vacation/ camp home.

Since you are wanting to reuse the existing foundation a kit type or manufactured home would have to be built to your specs. The other issue may be that all of your foundation and utility services would have to be brought up to code and depending on how old it is that may be a lot of work. Amish stick built may be a good alternative there. We all know how much they adhere to modern codes😁
