If rustic and practical were paired like peanut butter and jelly or wine and cheese, what would they produce? Quite possibly the Okefenokee Cabin! This cabin model from Vacavia Cottages and Cabins offers a complete living space, plus a 10-foot, screened-in porch that’s perfect for enjoying the outdoors with added comfort.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service recently deployed seven of these park model cabins in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. These cabins will be used primarily for on-site seasonal staff housing to provide a more economical and convenient staff housing solution than is otherwise available in the area. Since many such parks are in remote areas, on-site staff housing can help park operators lean down their operations while increasing staff retention and improving visitor and customer experiences.
The Okefenokee effortlessly combines functionality with aesthetic and luxury with practicality. This rustic and cozy cabin offers a complete living experience with a full bedroom that features extra built-in cabinetry, a 60-inch tub and shower in the bathroom with a full closet, and a well-appointed kitchen. The 374-square-feet interior is decked with wood-grain vinyl flooring to offer that rustic aesthetic but is very easy and affordable to maintain. The screened-in porch adds 10-square-feet of extra space, which allows your guests to enjoy the outdoors comfortably without being annoyed by pests.
