Help me choose an alternative building material/method

First, the basics of my situation: 1) PNW, zone 8b, wet, grey winters. 2) I have minimal building experience or skill. I worked for a contractor for a year or two, so I know how to use tools, but it's not something I'm particularly good at nor is it something I particularly enjoy. 3) Everything I build will be unpermitted and on the smaller side - cabins mostly but some structures might get a bit bigger. I plan to start with a small, one-room cabin with wood heat but no plumbing or electricity and use that to develop my skills before moving onto something a bit more complex.

What I want is the best of all worlds: cheap, easy, quick, eco-friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and cozy to live in. If I had to prioritize those values I would put emphasis on ease, simplicity, and relatively easy to heat (it doesn't have to be totally passive or anything like that - I have basically free firewood, for the labor of cutting and stacking, but I don't want it to be a constant battle to stay warm).

There are a ton of building approaches discussed here, and while I will certainly do a lot of research on the method I choose, it is a bit overwhelming for me to try to research them all with enough depth to really understand their pros and cons relative to my situation, so I'm hoping to crowd source some info/opinions on that question.

Thanks all.

If I wanted to build a small cabin I would go with timber framing.

Because that would be the quickest for me to learn.

To me this might also be the cheapest if I mill my own lumber.

I would not worry about heat since summer is headed my way though I would include it in mt plans.

A mini rocket is cheap easy.

When we finished our house most things came off craigslist.

What building materials do you have access to?

If you have trees and the skill to cut them and transfer them into beams, timber framing or a log cabin makes sense.

If you have lots of rock, a masonry structure makes sense.

If you have good soil for cob, rammed earth, earth bag, adobe, wattle and daub all would work well.

Does your area produce grain so straw bales are available for cheap?  Or would you need to have them shipped in and they are expensive?
