How to Build a Cabin in Stardew Valley
In Stardew Valley, cabins can be built on the farm to play with friends. Each cabin can accommodate one player, and up to seven cabins can be built in total, allowing eight gamers to play together. If a user has created a new server to play with friends, the cabin will be built for free, but if not, fans will need to construct it by spending some money.
Robin's Carpenter Shop
First, players need to visit Robin's Carpenter Shop, which is open from 9 AM to 5 PM.

- Plank Cabin
- Log Cabin
- Stone Cabin
- Rustic Cabin
- Neighbor Cabin
- Trailer Cabin
- Beach Cabin
Construct Farm Buildings

Stardew Valley is an irresistibly addictive game where you can start a new life from scratch. Here’s everything you need to do in your second year.
Choose Cabin
From the list of available buildings, select the Cabin. It will cost 100 Gold.
Placement
After selecting a cabin, players need to select a suitable location on their farm where they want to place the cabin. They can use the arrow keys to move the placement marker and press Enter to confirm the location.
How to Use the Cabin
After friends join the game, they can choose one of the available cabins to stay in; each player will have their cabin and can customize it to their taste. Players can interact with items in the cabin, store their belongings in chests, and sleep in the bed to regain energy and move on to the next day. An interesting feature of the cabins is that when a player who lived in the cabin leaves the game, all the inventory remains in a chest on the farm.
It's also worth noting that players can paint their cabins once they upgrade them to level 3. To do this, you just need to visit the Carpenter's Shop and select the Paint Buildings option. The best part is that painting your cabin is completely free.
