Traditional Small Log Cabins

Traditional small log cabins are true log cabins that blends the rustic, timeless design of traditional small log homes with modern conveniences. Designed to feel like a classic log cabin, it features a cathedral beamed ceiling with tongue and groove pine shiplap, 3/4″ solid oak flooring, and a metal roof. The cabin is equipped with a 100-amp electrical box and a tankless electric water heater. The fully functional kitchen and bath include custom oak cabinets and full-size appliances, ensuring a cozy and comfortable living space. While it’s titled as a recreational vehicle, the traditional small log cabins offers the durability and natural warmth of a high-quality log cabin, making it perfect for those who appreciate a traditional log home aesthetic.

Modern Tiny Log Cabins

In contrast, the modern tiny log cabin that blends the charm of a traditional log home with the mobility of a tiny house on wheels. This hybrid model takes a contemporary approach to log home living, featuring LP SmartSiding, faux-stone accents, and our SmartMatch oak siding on the exterior. Inside, it boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, a 9′ wide door, white-washed wood walls, 9’+ tall ceilings with oak exposed beams, and modern finishes. The biggest advantage of this hybrid design is its portability, allowing homeowners to easily move their home and explore different locations, while still offering various customization options to suit individual tastes.
