There are many factors that have contributed to the rise in popularity of the log cabin accommodation and within this article we will touch on some of these, see below for more information:-
Reason 1 – It is all in the location and when people are going away on their holidays they really do want to get away from it all and enjoy spending time in areas that they otherwise would not be able to experience. The log cabin parks offer up areas of natural beauty and this can either be on the coast or in the countryside, so it is simple, you choose your holiday and you enjoy the time away in areas that you want to be. Easy to get to locations, you simply hop into the car and set off and within a couple of hours you can be enjoying your time away, taking it easy and admiring the beauty of the location.
Reason 2 – The comfort of the log cabin holidays is very important and as such people are now becoming more and more discerning in the areas and the accommodation that they stay in. The log cabins are a perfect example of what self catering accommodation should be like on the inside and the outside. On the outside you have the rustic charms and appeal of the cabins and they fit perfectly into the natural environment and on the inside the moment you open the door you will be greeted with a clean, comfortable, modern and fresh interior that will be comfortable and relaxing for the duration of your stay.
Reason 3 – Accommodation is all very well but you need to compliment it with a range of superb facilities and the log cabin parks often have a selection of facilities that will suite all holiday makers, some of them are what you would class as mainstream and others are a little more exclusive. Indoor heated swimming pools and leisure complexes are fairly standard across many of the log cabin parks and these are great to relax and enjoy at anytime of the year, and some parks have further facilities to keep you entertained. How would you fancy taking some time out to be pampered in the health and beauty salon, or would you like to take a daily dip in your very own hot tub? If so the Log Cabin Holidays are a great choice for you, these are just a fraction of what you could enjoy and you will be guaranteed to come back relaxed, refreshed, revitalised and happy with your break or holiday away.
Reason 4 – Fun for everyone is the key and whether you want to get away for a romantic getaway, or want to spend a few days away with the family over a long weekend, take a mid week break and just get away from it all or take a main summer holiday somewhere different the log cabin holidays are ideal. Enjoy taking time off and exploring the areas that you have always wanted to stay in and get to experience these areas while staying in the best of the self catering accommodation available to you.

Help answer the question about log cabin
If I built a structurally sound log cabin, does it have to have electricity to be up to code?I know that codes vary by area. But in general, what are the minimum requirements for a house meeting basic codes? Other than being structurally sound, I am planning on installing a wood stove (meeting requirements of course) using propane stove/oven and oil lamps for lighting. Would this be generally okay on your own land do you think? What else do I need to consider? Thanks for any suggestions!
oh yeah, plus it would not have running water.

You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
Nice work, you did pretty good.
good luck man that sounds sweet.
Read this completely because I intend on building my own very nice log home very cheaply but you have to know how to do it.
It is according to where you live, the type of log home you want, if you are going to have it built, if you are going to use a kit, how big the logs are you will use, and if you are going to work on it yourself.
You can build a brick home for less than most log kits cost.
Most the kits out there cost between $100 and $150 for each 16 foot log.
I bidded on several homes when I was contracting but they all, every single one of them ended up building brick homes because of the cost.
I built my on sawmill so I van cut all logs, flooring and roofing timbers, flooring, roofing sheathing, studs, wood for doors, windows, kitchen cabinets, and even the trim.
You can buy a new sawmill for a few thousand dollars to do the same or if you can weld as I do, build one for less than a grand.
If you use quarry rock for the basement walls or foundation, as I intend on doing, and do the work to cut all your own materials, you can build it for less than $50,000.
You are talking about a home that is close to 2,200 square feet.
If you have it built and buy a kit, you are talking well over a quarter million dollars.
If you do it all yourself "and do good work" you can have over $200,000 equity in it when you move in but you will have to have perfect credit or scratch build it.
If you buy the right land at a good price, you may be able to get a second morgage on it to help pay to build the house. It should also have standing timber on it to use for the home.
Several of the sawmill manufactors sell them on credit also.
And you will need a planer / molder and can also get them financed.
Both of these pieces of equipment is something you can resell after you have finished the home to regroup much of the cost and is figured into the $50,000 stated above.
It's not a small undertaking but it is well worth it in the long run. Any body can learn to build a nice one if they try. They were building them hundreds of years ago with axes and hand saws.
The only thing holding me up is the right land. I want a creek so I can make my own electricity also.
If you have any more questions, e-mail me. I'll be glad to help.
amazing! Willy teach me how to paint like you!
Perfect.
Log cabins are beautiful and homey to live in. However, they are high-maintenance and expensive. Because they are built of organic materials, it is almost like they are alive.
To keep a log home in top condition, requires the wood logs to be treated and maintained regularly year after year so the wood doesn't dry out and rot. Sometimes the logs can warp and need to be repaired or replaced, which is expensive. Also, weather wears out the weatherproofing material between the logs, and it will also eventually need to be maintained and repaired continuously over time.
If you are up to the regular high maintenance (either by doing it yourself or by paying someone else to do it), then a log cabin is a wonderful type of building that is well worth the investment.
Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D

I like the fact that answer number one is pretty OPEN in his statments. TO accurately define your prices/end costs, it seems to me (with all dur respect) you already have so much of what you need regarding resources, to get PRICES.
Without knowing at all,,,the "LAY OF THE LAND" I'd probably go with a "daylight" basement" AND honestly 2200 sq. ft. is hardly a CABIN. SIGH. I see and get in e mail Every day,,,BUILD TO SHELL…NC cabins for less that 100 K. I so want to assume you could double that to finish.
Another thing I might ask is WHY do you need a LOAN to finish? No offense to you certainly,,, OR the KIT provider, but you don't mention WHERE? IE: 35 miles East of Ashville? Etc,,, OR if you already OWN the land? IF you happened to own the land,,, the loan could be negotiated with it as collateral.
Once more, and with all due respect…FINISH might be relative, as it FITS some liveable plan you have, and could easily take 18 to 24 months?
Finally, and I hope I haven't offended you. ANYONE doing any work, and depending on zoning and code issues, better be ready to back up any liability "DADDY" or not.
No one here who answers can know your families commeitment, or a time frame for you

how is this not a real photo?
woww that’s really relax and beatiful soung .good picture of jhony depp !
Just make some trusses and put them on 2 foot apart . Lay some 1×4s across the trusses 18 inch's apart then lay some tin on the roof overlapping each other. Then use the special tin to cap off the roof. Dont use logs too much weight. Use plywood and framing. Build it on skids. So you can pull it with snow mobile.
Very nice!!
hm i couldn’t tell the difference between photograph and painting comparing the final resault.
This is sick
No don't bother, Coke and Pepsi also contain huge quantities of corn syrup also and will work about as well.
Depending how long the log is, I had one replaced last yr. It was 8 ft long and cost me $1200 to contract out. It took the contractor all day. Call in a few GCs and get three bids. That will give you a better idea. Yellow page it.
