Client Project

System 02 - San Juan Islands

The San Juan Islands Cabin exemplifies the innovation at the heart of the Backcountry Hut Company. A modern interpretation inspired by the enduring spirit of alpine cabin design, this prefabricated modular residence features a flexible layout thoughtfully configured for comfortable two-story living. It offers an ideal space for family retreats or gatherings of various sizes. This project was executed by a General Contractor on behalf of the client.

Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscape of San Juan Islands, Washington, the San Juan Islands Cabin is an inviting two storey System 02 | 3 Module structure. With an expansive 1270 square feet, it encompasses 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, and a deck featuring an impressive 2/3 glazing wall. Originally purchased in October 2020 as a primary residence, the cabin was conceived as a sustainable and modern sanctuary for its initial owners. Under new ownership, it has transformed into a recreational getaway.

“This is my next-door neighbor. It’s gorgeous but a hazard because so many cars stop dead in the middle of the road to take pictures of it!”

  • "I am absolutely thrilled with my experience with Back Country Hut Company. The product they offer is truly one-of-a-kind—beautifully made with top-notch materials and exceptional design. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the build."

  • "BHC delivered a beautiful cabin to us. Their prefrabricated kit was perfect for our boat access location. It was efficient and created in such a way that our contractor could build it without the use of heavy equipment. The window package exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for quality and simplicity BHC certainly delivers."

  • "We had a fantastic experience from ordering till installation. Arielle was our project manager. She was very responsive to emails and calls. She got our delivery expedited and we got the sauna almost 6 months in advance. The sauna looks beautiful. It was easy to install even in a rural farm. Sauna looks gorgeous."
