Wooden cabin on snowy hill with pine trees

We design cabins that perform on paper and in the real world.

Ohmees is a hospitality design studio focused on one thing: helping landowners and STR investors build cabin assets that generate strong, predictable returns.

We're not a traditional architecture firm. We don't start with aesthetics and work backwards. We start with your location, your numbers, and your guest. Then we design around those constraints creating something distinctive enough to command premium rates and efficient enough to protect your margins.

Why we exist

Most cabin builds follow the same pattern: hire an architect, pick a floor plan, hope the market responds. The result is a crowded field of similar-looking rentals competing on price.

We started Ohmees because we believed investors deserved a design partner that understood both sides of the equation the guest experience that drives bookings, and the financial discipline that makes a project worth building in the first place.

5 years in, that's still what we do. Every project begins with a market study. Every layout decision is weighed against operational efficiency and ADR potential. Beauty is non-negotiable, but it has to earn its cost.

How we work

We work with a small number of projects at a time landowners, STR investors, and hospitality operators who are serious about building a high-performing asset, not just a nice structure.

Our process covers the full design journey, from initial site and market evaluation through to a build-ready concept:

Market & location analysis

Demand, ADR, seasonality, and competitive landscape

Site Adapted Layout

Floor plan and massing optimized for STR performance, Guest flow, cleaning efficiency, and maintenance simplicity

Amenity integration

hot tub, sauna, outdoor living positioned for ADR impact

Material specification

high-impact finishes selected for cost and longevity

What we believe

Strategy before sketches

No design work begins until we understand your location, guest profile, and revenue target. The numbers inform every decision.

Pricing power over price competition

A distinctive build commands a premium. Commodity cabins discount to fill. We design so you never have to compete on rate alone.

Who we work with

Our clients typically own land or are under contract on a site and want to evaluate whether an STR cabin project is viable and if so, what it should look like. They're financially driven, they've done their homework, and they want a design partner who speaks their language.

We're not the right fit for every project. If you're looking for a quick floor plan or a low-cost rendering service, there are faster options. If you want a design partner who will challenge your assumptions, stress-test your location, and help you build something the market will actually reward that's what we do.

We've pre-designed cabin concepts built for STR performance, each with selectable amenity packages and adaptable to your site. Request the brochure to see what's possible.
