Welcome to Tiny Home Profiles, an interview series with people pushing the limits of living small. From space-saving hacks to flexible floor plans, here’s what they say makes for the best tiny homes on the planet. Know of a builder we should talk to? Reach out.
Zook Cabins takes its name from Gideon Zook, who started making modular log homes with his family in 2006. While the name has remained, the scope of what the the company makes has expanded dramatically. In 2010, they started using modular construction to create all sorts of single-family homes (not just those made from logs). Six years after that, they tried their hand at tiny homes, and now offer eight styles that measure around 400 square feet each. Here, Zook Cabin’s marketing director Matt Esh tells us about their newest home, The Luna, a collaboration with New Frontier Design.
The Luna, developed with New Frontier Design, has metal and cedar siding, a shed roof, and an open-plan living space, all features that set it apart from Zook Cabins’s other tiny home models.

What qualities make your tiny home stand apart from the rest?
Zook Cabins has a strong group of designers that are passionate about tiny living, so we understand how to combine beauty with functionality. Zook Cabins’s manufacturing is situated in the heart of Amish country in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We pride ourselves in building a product that is constructed above and beyond what is required.
The floors are engineered hardwood. Solid oak is used for the waist-high bar and slats along the white shiplap walls to help separate the bedroom from the rest of the interior.

The Luna’s insulation is specialized for metal siding, which is calibrated for the dual ductless mini split unit provided with the home.
