My mother-in-law had a raised threshold and had trouble getting over it with a walker. We found these aluminum ramps that fit the door width and solved that problem.
Here is a link to various threshold ramps. The aluminum ones are down a way, but you may like some other type.

Shop threshold ramps for doorways and entryway. Better accessibility for those with limited mobility at home.

Yes, something will be needed for that door threshold.
Amazon has a huge selection made from industrial cast rubber.
I use a similar device (pair) with six inch rise for backing my Kubota into the shipping container when installing the rotary cutter. Thanks for the reminder. We are getting the prep projects done slowly.
The ramp completed today was a big one and now is checked off.

Ramp looks good. Foreman definitely isn’t going to let you inside until the project passes muster.

We ordered an aluminum door threshold ramp off of Amazon today. 34" wide and usable in height from
2-3/4" up to 3-1/4" while ours measured exactly 3-1/4" high.
We accurately measured the cabin on Sunday for the Rock Wool insulation purchase.
The first floor and the second story end walls are 2" x 4" (16" on center) while the second story gambrel roof trusses are 2" x 6" (16" on center) so we will need two different thickness of Rock Wool.
We also paid $5000 to our friend & neighbor, the well pounding guy. Time to get pounding.
This photo came from our adjoining neighbor at the recreational/hunting property.
I figure his camera is no more than one quarter mile from the cabin front door.
What time is it? It's picnic basket time!

We got some good news tonight.
The water well pounding guy called and said they have completed the new well for depth.
It's at 100 feet depth now and has a recharge rate of better than 26 gallons per minute.
His equipment for measuring the well recharge rate is maxed out at 24 - 25 gallons per minute.
It's possible it's greater than 26 gpm.
He said that he would have been really happy with 12 gpm, and routinely sees wells at 8 gpm.
Next is the submersible well pump and the wires/tubing connection going into the cabin.
It's a pretty short run from the well casing to the back wall of the cabin, maybe 40 feet.
I believe we will go with a Rinnai propane fired on demand water heater.
I looked into electric on demand water heaters and was underwhelmed on performance.
Plus three 40+ amp 240 volt circuits and three circuit breakers for powering the electric unit.
