Ruggedly handsome and uniquely American, rough-hewn Log home plans bring woodsy frontier style to mountaintop, lakeside or riverfront vacation houses. Typically constructed of cypress, fir or cedar timbers, contemporary log house designs are rooted in the beauty of nature and the charm of old fashioned craftsmanship. Centuries away from the simple one room log cabins that inspired this design, today's multi-level log houses often feature view-capturing walls of windows, elaborate decks, vaulted ceilings, skylights and massive stone fireplaces. Their open sunlit floor plans are ideal for grand scale entertaining with great rooms, kitchens and dining rooms that open on to each other for effortless traffic flow. Those seeking a smaller more intimate scale will find a variety of two and three bedroom log style cabin designs that are perfect for affordable weekend getaway homes. Honest and authentic, log homes provide a welcome change of pace for rustic resort-style living.
