Instead of just thinking about the cheapest overall price, it is much more important to consider the current and future needs of you and your family. There are three very common foundations that are […]

When you think of the West certain things are intrinsic to the fabric–  the very essence — of Rocky Mountain places. Cowboys, horses, rustic cabins, wandering rivers, and snow capped peaks all draw us away from our every day existence. With a Cowboy log cabin some of that charm can be captured and transported to […]

When I see the words “One Room Log Cabin” a picture of the cabin Abraham Lincoln was born in. Today most of our cabins are a good bit bigger than that humble beginning of a great man. There are actually two uses for a one room cabin that come to mind, one use is for […]

A Frame log cabins are a popular choice. The designs with steep roof lines are attractive, but what, exactly, can be fit within the walls of these cabins? The steep roof pitch does limit the space some as it provides a sloping interior wall. This cabin below is our Lodge Pole design. Let’s look at […]

So many log homes have have a look and feel that makes people stop and take notice. This aura, allure, magnetism– if you will– has to do with a few attributes. The logs themselves are such a step away from the standard construction. The designs are also notable with walls of trapezoid windows, prow fronts, […]

Here in Montana log cabin kits are very popular. In some areas, such as in the Bridger Mountains around Bozeman, and in the Madison Valley surrounding Ennis a very high percentage of houses are log homes.

A frame log cabin plans have very steep roof lines. The body of the cabin floor plan is entirely contained in the foot print of the A frame.

A home does not have to be huge to still meet your needs. Often we have retired people purchase small cabins to serve as their full time homes. The most common plans which are chosen are the Alaska, Ponderosa, El Paso, and Hunter. These cabins have a very livable floor plan, just simply on a […]

The smallest log cabin kit would have to be the Chuck Wagon. This one is built of nine inch diameter milled logs. This little cabin was built on a flatbed trailer in our yard. Then it was delivered to its destination. Sometimes this little cabin would be considered a mobile cabin. The Chuck Wagon log […]

The most rustic of log cabins are the handcrafted variety. The use of logs peeled with draw knives, random in width, and scribed together make for a cabin which might have been built there a century ago. If a small hunting cabin kit is built with milled logs, it just seems to loose a bit […]

When shopping for tiny log cabin kits and hunting cabins it is very important to know what is included in the package. No two companies include the same materials, and the materials that are included are not always of the same quality. So instead of looking at the cheapest sticker price, be more astute and […]

The term ‘mini’ when applied to log cabins sort of tickles my fancy. I have a ‘mini’ pony out in my yard — she is simply a reduced version of a larger horse. I have a lovely ornamental ‘mini’ doll house that my husband is building for our daughter for her birthday (don’t tell her!). […]
