Whether you install one next to your home or one on your property, a log cabin is always a great hideaway when you want to relax and enjoy yourself. More and more people are adopting the cabins and with so many manufacturers, it has become very easy to find the perfect log cabin to suit your needs. You are guaranteed to feel one with nature when you select a good cabin and find the perfect location for it. But what has made these log structures so popular?

They have a natural greatness to them.. Log cabins tend to have that wow factor that many homes lack. Perhaps it’s because of their angled trusses, exposed ridges, and other features that make them stand out from normal houses and shelters. It is always exciting to spend some time in the cabins and this makes them very special areas for many people.

They are warm in an exciting way. The log cabins are quite cozy and homey. Thanks to the thermal qualities of the wood used to make them, they are quite warm and pleasant. Its thermal mass makes it possible for the logs to maintain pleasant temperatures during all seasons. The logs collect solar energy and radiate it back at night so that the interiors are kept at very pleasant temperatures.

Ooze character. It may sound strange but the truth is that each of the logs used in the cabins has personality. There are logs that will have beautiful grains and rings and others will come in different shades of color giving them beautiful characters. Wood posts and beams can also naturally vary in terms of size and thickness, therefore at the end of the day each cabin tells a story. With this in mind, it is quite possible to select a log cabin whose character you love.

They are durable. Because they are designed to withstand even extreme weather conditions, you can be sure that the logs will stand the test of time. The structures are quite strong and with the proper measurements in place they can stand firm for years and look as beautiful as ever. The truth is that some wooden structures can last hundreds of years and still remain in perfect condition, but of course the appropriate treatments and wood must be used.

They are made by hand. This is probably what makes them unique, especially in the world where everything is automated, including construction. The logs are collected, peeled and cut by experienced craftsmen and then assembled with fine knots and additional details by hand. Craftsmanship makes it possible for manufacturers to add features as needed to make them as unique as the customer wants. Attention to detail is paid with each record to create unique custom structures. They come in all shapes and sizes to suit different customer preferences; it is also possible to make one just for you.
