sounds ugly
After a log cabin is built, they used to mix up a type of concrete, or else a clay and mud mortar and do what it is called “chinking.” It’s simply stuffing the mud in between the logs to seal them up. usually done after the wood has dried down. they still do it with modern log cabins, only it’s more of a caulk than a mortar.
Hi Forest,
I live in western NC and before I got my real estate license, I used to own & manage my own rental near Lake Fontana several years ago. I did pretty well overall – primarily because I had a low monthly mortgage payment and I handled the property management myself, which by the way, are the two largest cost considerations for you to factor into your cash flow projections.
The eastern TN, western NC and north GA vacation rental markets are similar enough to almost be considered one in the same, although there are "micro markets" scattered around that are home to the best performers. You'll find that the top performing log home rentals in our area are in proximity to a useable body of water (lake or river) +and+ a local "main attraction" which is the primary draw for the tourist guest base. For me, it was the home's proximity to whitewater rafting in the Nantahala Gorge, and its easy access to the lake. Only drawback was that it was too far away from one of our ski areas to enjoy year-round occupancy, making the rental a little too "seasonal". If I had it to do over again, I'd look more closely at winter occupancy rates when analyzing my investment's financial records…
Be prepared to perform A LOT of due diligence prior to making your final decision on location and purchasing your investment property. You may seriously want to consider having a real estate buyer's agent work on your behalf for this acquisition. It typically won't cost you anything, (as we are paid via commission split with the seller's agent at closing), and you'll have an experienced advocate on your side. In addition to identifying properties you're likely to find of interest, they can handle obtaining the rental financial records and should ensure you have all of the information you need in order to make an INFORMED decision on what to offer for any particular property.
Hope this helps, and good luck!!
There are.
But I think it depends on your definition of "authentic"
I've seen cabins advertised as authentic, with all the modern amenities!
It will be a matter of you looking thorough and finding what appeals to you both.
You will find some on this website, ranging from modern cabins to rustic:

i remember this from sesame street!!! i always wanted my own little cabin as a kid, and still i dream of one.. the music is wonderful and haunting, but i dont really remember it like i remember those guys making shingles for the roof. thanks for the walk down memory lane!
Green is a neutral color that compliments the natural wood tones of the cabin exterior. Like wood tones, green blends into nature, which is the whole concept of a cabin, to look rustic and outdoorsy.
Wait, what’s all the space between the logs?
The music from this film short stayed with me all these years. That bird-like whistling & banjo.
Wow!
I believe it is Lincoln logs. Some years ago we were looking to build a log cabin and we found many beautiful homes. But I don't have that information anymore. I think you can look on line http://www.lincolnlogs.com.

There are a lot of places in North Ga. Helen is a small town in an old school Alpine setting that sits right on top of the Chattahoochee river.
There are many log cabins you can rent there.

This impacted me as a kid- I am building one now, with hand tools. I love it!
If you don't want to do any damage, and keep it "historically correct" you will need to air it out for many days. Or you could put activated charcoal around the cabin and do light treatments.
to do the light treatments put sunlight bulbs in the cabin for about two days, then switch to ultra violet bulbs for the next two days, then air out for a day and you should be good
ehh i think it looks easier than it is. dont sweat it!
I saw this film clip, it was in the DVD Sesame Street old school on show 666 from 1974.

I'm not sure of your budget or what size you'd like these cabins to be, but if your budget is very, very low, you may want to check into: http://www.townandcountryplans.com/ but they really aren't as pretty…
Keep it painted and pressure wash any mold or dirt.
