Staying in a log cabin can be a relaxing experience especially as the majority of today's log cabins can be fitted with modern amenities.
Most log cabins before were built with logs horizontally laid and connected at the ends with notches. Some use nails instead of notches, but the latter is still better.
Log cabins are becoming a popular choice because a log cabin tends to have a lower asking price than a traditional brick building of the same size, and low mortgage rates are still on the market.
Today's log cabins are generally more energy efficient that concrete or brick buildings from 50 years ago.
Log cabins make a great combination of art and elegance. They reflect an artistic blend of mind.
There are parts of Europe that use log cabins as summerhouses or as an extra room in a garden.
Some log cabins are big enough to have whirlpool tubs, skylights and many suburban niceties and creature comforts.
There are also a lot of luxury cabin homes that were constructed. During the middle of 1980, around 15,000 log cabins/houses were sold every year.
If you’ve never experienced life in a log cabin, you should ‘test the water’ before buying, by renting a holiday log cabin.
Because logs are durable, there is no need to cover the exterior of a log house with shingles or clapboards or to smooth over the interior with plaster or wallboard.
