Cedar log home kits and SIP home packages in Cashiers, NC
Cashiers is a crossroads village on the Jackson County plateau, with Lake Glenville, waterfalls and long mountain views around it. Properties tend to be larger than in town, and many belong to a gated, lake or club community.
Planning for second-home use
Many Cashiers houses sit empty for part of the year. Talk with your builder about shutting the house down, ventilation and who checks on it, then choose a plan with that in mind.
How a project comes together
Big Twig Homes supplies the material package and coordinates delivery. We are not a general contractor: your independent local builder handles construction, permits and site work, and we work alongside the builder you choose.
Building site considerations in Cashiers
General points to check before you choose a package. Your builder and the local building office confirm the rules and conditions for your actual lot.
- 01
Rolling plateau acreage
The land around Cashiers rolls more gently than the steep slopes to the south. Wider building areas and longer drives are common, so check the grade of the driveway and where the truck can stage and unload.
- 02
Reservoir shoreline rules
Lake Glenville is a reservoir, and reservoirs usually have shoreline rules set by whoever manages the lake. Your builder and local officials confirm what applies on the water, and we match the package to your plan.
- 03
Club and gated communities
Many Cashiers properties sit in gated or club communities with covenants, design review and contractor access rules. Get the rules and any delivery-hour limits in writing and send them to us before the design is final.
- 04
Rain and seasonal use
Heavy rain falls on the plateau, and many homes sit closed part of the year. Plan roof drainage, ventilation and a layout that is easy to shut down and re-open, and ask about finishes that suit a wet climate.
Home packages for Cashiers sites
Big Twig Homes supplies each of these as a material package. An independent builder you choose does the construction.
- Cedar Log HomesCedar log packages suit second homes and lake retreats, with covered porches facing the view.
- SIP HomesSIP packages give an insulated shell with a conventional exterior. Ask your builder how the house will be heated and closed up when you are away.
- Hybrid HomesHybrid homes mix cedar log or timber with conventional framing, so log or timber can go where it shows and standard finishes elsewhere.
- Commercial BuildingsCommercial packages for a shop, office or small retail space near the crossroads. Check zoning and design review first.
- Horse BarnsHorse barn packages for larger parcels, where long drives and wet ground call for early drainage planning.
- Multi-FamilyMulti-family packages for duplexes and small multi-unit buildings, subject to zoning and association rules.

Common questions
- Do I need my community's approval before I order a package?
- Often yes. Many Cashiers-area communities review plans, materials and colors before work starts. Get their rules in writing and send them to us so the package matches before anything is ordered.
- Does Big Twig Homes build in Cashiers?
- No. Big Twig Homes is a materials supplier and coordinator, not a builder. You hire an independent local builder, and we coordinate delivery of the package with them.
- Can you supply a package for a Lake Glenville lot?
- Yes, for the plan you choose. Your builder and local officials confirm the shoreline rules for the lot, and we work with you to fit the package to the buildable area.
