A log shed is a great idea, as it can go very well with a log home. They can also work well with homes made of other materials. In fact, this can be an amazing way to show off the beauty of your yard. No one likes to live in a home that is cluttered so give yourself the room you need.
When it comes to finding a log shed, you will be happy to learn that there are quite a few different styles. You may have a preference of one over the other so it is good to know what your options are before you commit to one of them.
The D style appears to be square in shape. However, it is referred to as the D style due to the way in which the logs are flat on three sides. Since the logs are all the same size, the are very easy to put into place. You can also find milled log sheds that have a rounded shape to them. These logs don’t have any tapering on the ends of them.
You may want a round look to your log shed as that is quite common. The ends of all of the logs have been tapered. This type of shed can be more difficult to put together on your own though so keep that in mind.
You may be saying that a log shed definitely sounds great, but what about the expense involved with it? You will be very happy to find there is a way to cut the costs down. It doesn’t involve going with a cheap quality one that won’t last very long. It also doesn’t involve cutting down the size.
Instead, it involves investing a shed kit. This offers you want you need to put the log shed into place anywhere that you would like to. If you can follow simple instructions and use some common household tools then you will have no problem at all getting this accomplished. The end result will be just as nice as if you had a log shed delivered to your home completed intact.

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 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.
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.
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.

Keep it painted and pressure wash any mold or dirt.
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
