Hey Chris, you might as well add a shed for lawn chairs, BBQ grills, and smokers while you are building now. If you rent the cabin out, those things will be an amenity the renters expect. Also, floatie toys for the pond and life jackets. A 30' x 40' shed is the size of a three-bedroom house. Those are going to be some very spacious cabins.
