Which of these two options would you do?

One of our places is getting busy enough that it has me thinking that opening another (on the same property) would be smart.

Option #1 - Build a smaller-size cabin, less than 400 SF. [I would build it all myself except for septic]. Do not get a loan, but rather use proceeds from existing STRs to finance this. High-end finishes. I'm saying $40k for this.

Option #2 - Buy a premade shed and finish it off very high-end. Use their financing. (See pic)  Price $30-40k

Staying under 400 SF because that is where the cutoff for permits is. Meaning a lot less fuss to build something smaller. Thoughts?
