Project Overview

A Two-Bedroom Cabin Built in the Arkansas Ozarks

This Aries 96 cabin kit was delivered and assembled near Omaha, Arkansas, in 2024. The completed building includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a generous loft, an open living and kitchen area, and an outdoor deck.

As with all SolidCabin kits, the building package was manufactured in Turkey, prepared for export and shipped as labeled components. The shipment supplied the primary timber structure and exterior cabin package; foundation, utilities, final interior work, inspections and rental preparation were completed locally.

The completed cabin now operates as a short-term rental, providing a clear example of how an imported cabin kit can be adapted to a difficult site and finished by local trades.

Layout and Area

Approximately 740 sq ft of interior space

480 sq ft Main floor / about 45 m2

260 sq ft Loft / about 24 m2

740 sq ft Total interior / about 69 m2

190 sq ft Outdoor deck / about 18 m2

Approximate project dimensions: 18 ft x 26 ft 8 in, with an overall height of about 19 ft 4 in.

Rental Outcome

From Cabin Kit to Guest-Ready Rental

The Arkansas Aries 96 was locally completed and opened as a short-term rental in the Ozarks. With the owners' permission, the public Airbnb listing and guest feedback could be shared with prospective customers as a real-world project reference. In the captured listing, the property showed a 4.99 rating from 86 reviews and was marked as a Guest Favorite.

The reviews reflect the complete rental experience, including the location, hosting, locally completed interiors, furnishings and site work—not only the cabin kit. They still confirm that the shipped kit was assembled, completed locally and placed into successful guest use.
