Small Log Cabins

There’s nothing like relaxing in a house made out of Tennessee Cedar Milled logs to get you reconnected with nature. Many rural-loving folks love staying in small log cabins of different proportions whether for vacation homes, permanent residences or even keeping for storage units. There is a rustic nature about them that is very appealing.

Some “small log cabins” can be spacious enough to live in. Some log cabins are capable of having have whirlpool tubs, skylights and many suburban niceties.

Originally small log cabins were designed exclusively as permanent homes. In the 1800’s small log cabins fulfilled the basic necessities of a home, and one could be built in a few days using very basic tools. These early small log cabins were simple yet sturdy and very inexpensive to make. They stood the test of time and survived all that nature subjected them to.

Today, while construction has become more sophisticated, lodging in such a quaint place is still fun and is the perfect vacation for people who want to get away from city life. Small log cabins can be bought through realtors and can provide suitable residences, complete with a few rooms and amenities.

How much does it cost to buy a small log cabin? Prices can be steep; small log cabins can amount to the same price as some small suburban homes, or even greater, depending on the quality.

In America the frontier spirit lives on. Some ambitious residents have bought their own land and built their own small log cabins for a splinter of the cost of a new one. Buying just necessary materials and having a good blueprint could lead you to the small log cabin of your rural dreams, for just a few thousand dollars.

Smaller log cabins don’t have to be “storage cabins” exactly. Even some smaller log cabins can be livable and useable as a second home.

Some small log cabins can be sold for less and are directly assembled by the buyer. Do-it-yourself log cabin kits, with supplies and instructions, are very reasonably priced. Companies have online purchase set up and the do-it-yourself kits can be shipped to you.

Other small log cabins, modular log cabins, can be fully assembled before delivery so that the same day you see it arriving on a flatbed trailer, you can start filling it with personal items.

Small log cabins have come a long way since the 1800’s and to live in one today is no less of an adventure and joy. And fortunately, now it’s a lot easier get started.
