Anybody have any experience with these? Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

Spoiler!

It seems everybody is buying condos for their vacation properties these days, but I wouldn't want to be paying for common areas, underground parking, elevators, swimming pools, management companies and condo fees. Seems like a giant waste of money.

But if a pre-fabbed cabin is such a great idea, why have I never heard of anybody I know buying one of these? I mean, you can get them for like $25,000. Say you double that to account for all the hidden costs that are bound to crop up, or even quadruple it to include shipping it to your destination and you're still at only like $100K, plus land. It just doesn't seem that crazy to me. Am I missing something?
