About this plan

The Transformer by Sierra Log & Timber is a clever 864 sq ft log cabin with a knack for making every inch count. Ideal for couples or small families dreaming of a cozy retreat, it offers a welcoming main floor with 576 sq ft for gathering, cooking, and unwinding. The kitchen and living area flow together, while a main-floor bedroom and full bath keep things practical. Upstairs, a 288 sq ft loft gives you options—set it up as a second bedroom, a quiet reading nook, or a tucked-away studio. With two bathrooms and a garage for gear or projects, the Transformer is ready for weekend escapes, guest quarters, or even full-time living for those who like to keep things simple. Like all Sierra Log & Timber plans, it can be tailored to fit your vision, blending craftsmanship with lasting comfort. Read our story on the TRANSFORMER so you know its history.
