979 Sq. Ft. Cabin for Small Family This two-level cabin or F House is 979 sq. ft and certainly big enough for a small family. The outdoor patio provides extra space for gathering with family and friends. The design is minimalist mixed with modern. As you go inside through the large glass doors you will be right in the kitchen. The living room, dining area and bathroom are also on the lower level of the cabin.
