    A Florida couple have created their dream home by converting a
    former Disney World cabin.

    Grace and Jacob Kocher spotted the Fort Wilderness cabin up for
    auction after the entertainment giant began replacing its older
    units.

    The Disney-loving couple snapped up the rare find while living
    in their RV.

    The Kochers found the unit, which was built between 1998 and
    2001, by chance on Facebook Marketplace, Realtor.com reported.

    'It immediately sparked our interest despite its age and, of
    course, its use as a resort hotel,' Grace, 25, told People.

    $49,900

    . . .

    Of course REAL log cabins don't really look like
    this - trees are thicker at the bottom and taper
    upwards ... you won't find even-looking logs in
    a log cabin. Gotta kinda alternate big/small ends.

    But, the faux-cabin ... good buy ! Looks nice
    and apparently could be disassembled in large
    sections for transport.

    Mini-homes can also be bought on Amazon and from
    WalMart - a bit cheaper but not quite as big.
    Currently WalMart doesn't charge shipping, which
    saves a fair number of $$$. These aren't "log
    cabins" though, more a nicer-looking version of
    a single-wide MH. Oh, one article DID note a
    gotcha - be SURE to include the "electrical
    package" !

    Oh, would NOT rec the mini-homes for hurricane
    areas ... just not built for cat3+
