216 sq ft Studio layout 1 Bath 6' open porch

The Nest isn't a compromise — it's a concept. Designed like a high-end loft apartment, the living, sleeping, and kitchen areas flow together in one open, intentional space. Large front-facing windows erase the boundary between interior and exterior, so your guests wake up to the trees, not a wall. The cooktop kitchen and fold-out dining table keep every square inch working. At 216 sq ft, this is the lowest entry cost in our lineup — and per square foot, one of the strongest STR yields you'll find anywhere.

  • ✦Floor-to-ceiling front windows — the forest is the view from every angle
  • ✦Open studio layout — sleeping, living & kitchen share one flowing space
  • ✦Fold-out dining table tucked beside the kitchen — functional, unobtrusive
  • ✦Modern induction cooktop in place of a full stove
  • ✦Full bathroom with standing shower
  • ✦6' open porch — your guests' morning coffee spot
  • ✦Lowest entry price in our lineup — fastest path to cash flow
  • ✦LED backlit vanity mirror — standard in every build

Estimates only, modeled at a conservative 50% occupancy on comparable Alabama short-term-rental market data. Figures are gross rental estimates based on the cabin price only and do not include land, site preparation, clearing, utilities, furnishing, permitting, taxes, insurance, management, platform fees, or financing, which vary by buyer and location and will affect actual results.

The Math Works.

At $38,999, The Nest has the lowest barrier to entry of any model in our lineup. The unique loft-style design and floor-to-ceiling windows create a listing that photographs unlike anything else on the platform — and STR guests pay a premium for experiences, not square footage. At 50% occupancy, the numbers speak clearly.

What Investors Are Saying

Real Buyers. Real Results.

★★★★★

"Have bought cabins from them in bulk — into the 13+ range. Quality, customization options, and delivery reliability are unmatched at this price point. These aren't tiny homes, they're real homes."

Bryan Osborne
13+ Unit Campground Operator
★★★★★

"The attention to detail is amazing. I've been in construction for 20 years and these are built to a standard I rarely see in factory production. My guests consistently comment on how the cabin feels."

Timmy Horton
STR Investor, Alabama
★★★★★

"Perhaps one of the last major purchases that welcomes the customer's ideas and actually incorporates them. I called with a list of changes and every single one made it into the final build."

Investor Questions

Everything You Need to Know Before You Buy

How much can The Nest earn on Airbnb or VRBO?
At 50% occupancy ($130–$180/night), projections run $1,820–$2,520/month — or $21,840–$30,240 annually. At $38,999, your cash-on-cash return is 58–81% — the highest yield-per-dollar in the entire lineup. Guests pay a premium for intimate, well-designed tiny spaces on Airbnb. The Nest delivers exactly that. Payback period is estimated at 1.2–1.7 years on a cash purchase. Estimates only, modeled at a conservative 50% occupancy on comparable Alabama short-term-rental market data. Figures are gross rental estimates based on the cabin price only and do not include land, site preparation, clearing, utilities, furnishing, permitting, taxes, insurance, management, platform fees, or financing, which vary by buyer and location and will affect actual results. Not a guarantee of income or return; not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
Is The Nest bank-financeable?
Yes. Every Alabama Custom Cabins model is ANSI 119.5 certified, which qualifies them for third-party park model loans and chattel financing. At $38,999, The Nest has the lowest monthly payment of any model in the lineup — making it the easiest entry into an ANSI-certified STR investment.
What does the $38,999 price actually include?
The base price includes the complete unit as configured — full appliances, Daikin mini-splits, residential PEX plumbing, metal roof, and hurricane straps. Free delivery is included within 100 miles of Lynn, Alabama. Utility connections, site prep, and placement are buyer responsibility — ACC delivers a fully finished, move-in-ready unit.
How long is the build time?
8–11 weeks from signed contract and deposit to delivery. You'll receive milestone updates throughout the build. Once delivered, the unit is ready for your first booking once you've handled site prep and utility connections — most investors list on Airbnb or VRBO within weeks of delivery.
Can I place The Nest in a campground or RV park?
Yes. ANSI 119.5 certification is the standard required by most licensed parks, RV resorts, and campground operators. At 216 sq ft, The Nest has the smallest footprint in the lineup — which means campground operators can fit more units per acre while maintaining high per-unit nightly rates. It's the highest density revenue model in the catalog.
Why does a 216 sq ft cabin earn nearly as much as larger models?
On Airbnb, nightly rates are driven by design quality and uniqueness, not square footage. The Nest earns $1,820–$2,520/month at a conservative 50% occupancy — a 58–81% annual return at $38,999. Guests shopping for 1–2 person getaways aren't looking for square footage; they're looking for experience. The Nest delivers that at a price point that maximizes your return on every dollar invested.
