Prefab Log Cabins

I've lived in big cities all of my life, and I wouldn't trade that situation for anything else. However, there are definitely times when I just want to get away from it all and experience the peace and quiet that comes with spending several weeks per year on my own tract of land out in the middle of nowhere. Once I bought some land, I needed to build some kind of lodging on it. I decided to go for rustic theme, so I checked out some prefab log cabins.

Prefab log cabins are a very popular option for people who want to get the look and feel of an authentic cabin without the expense or waiting time associated with building from scratch. Provided that you purchase your prefab log cabin from a reputable company, you can expect the quality and durability to be just as good -- if not better than -- one built in a more conventional manner. In fact, at least one leading manufacturer claims that its prefab log cabins can last just as long as a traditional brick house!

When I first started looking into prefab log cabins, I knew nothing about them. So I of course had to do a lot of research. I discovered several things that helped convince me that I was making the right decision. First of all, most prefab log cabins are sold in kits. That meant any prices I saw would for these packages would contain everything I needed in order to put together my new vacation home. This included all the parts of the structure, from foundation to roof tiles, all the hardware (nails, nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) necessary for assembly, and of course step-by-step instructions to help guide me through the whole process. All I had to do was enlist a few handy friends to help me put everything together.

A second thing that I liked about the prefab log cabins I saw was the fact that I had so many different models, styles, and floor plans to choose from. I have to admit that I thought the selection would be very limited, but that simply was not the case. I had carefully looked over the designs of numerous prefab log cabins and was able to find one that perfectly suited my tastes.

A third feature of prefab log cabins that caught my attention was the surprisingly low price. Frankly, I was expecting to have to pay a lot more than I actually did. In fact, I was so impressed by the low prices I saw that I have been recommending prefab log cabins to nearly everyone I know. One of my friends, a lifelong renter with a poor credit rating, even decided to purchase a prefab log cabin as his primary residence. He enjoys being out in the country anyway, so this was the perfect way for him to finally become a bona fide homeowner.

If you're thinking about building a vacation home, or if you want an affordable way to break into the housing market, then I suggest checking out prefab log cabins. I think you'll be as pleasantly surprised at the quality, durability, and prices as I was.
