From small, rustic cabins to grand lodges, our log houses are as functional as they are stunning. Log construction has been a staple in northern Europe and Russia for centuries, where tall coniferous trees were plentiful and deciduous ones, favored for traditional timber framing, were not. Swedish colonists brought the craft to North America in the 17th century, and other colonists as well as Native Americans took a liking to it so much that prefabricated log homes were available for import. We still appreciate the rustic look of natural wooden exteriors and interiors, and that's why we're happy to share this diverse collection. All of these plans can be built using either handcrafted lumber, which has been peeled and keeps its authentic look, or milled lumber, which has been manufactured to remove natural imperfections to give a uniform look. Designed for year-round living and full of modern amenities, our log houses are the perfect combination of past and present. If you need assistance finding other styles of cabin house plans or the perfect log house plan, please email, live chat, or call us at 866-214-2242 and we'll be happy to help!
