Small Log Cabins
When you want to get away from a fast paced urban life, there’s nothing quite like relaxing in a log cabin while you’re on vacation. Whether you’re looking for a vacation home or a new permanent home, small log cabins are comfortable and accommodating.
These types of homes were originally built to be simple, poor dwellings in the 1800s. Using basic tools and lumber, a couple of small log cabins could be built in a week. They were inexpensive housing and served their purpose—quick and easy shelter.
Nowadays, these small dwellings are not always so small. Some can contain several rooms, hot tubs, skylights and other pleasant amenities. Though today small log cabins are more expensive and sophisticated, they are still the perfect getaway experience for people who want to leave the urban lifestyle—whether for vacation or for good!
The cost of can vary. Prices can range as much as the price of a suburban residence; $50,000 seems like a standard figure. The good news is, like traditional homes, small log cabins can be financed with good credit history and a fair deposit.
Some rather ambitious people, however, decide that paying for a log cabin just doesn’t seem worth it. But they don’t give up the dream of a rural paradise—they build their own! For significantly less money than it costs to purchase small log cabins, future residents can build their own and build it according to their own tastes and specifications. A few thousand dollars will buy all the material you need. Bring your own tools and a few extra sets of hands, and you’re on your way to building one of the small log cabins that the pioneers first built in the 1800s.
If you don’t want to go the self-construction route, but decide a luxury cabin is just too much money, how about looking into modular small log cabins? Because they are limited in size, they can be assembled for you on site, then arrive on a flatbed trailer to your house ready to be decorated. It’s ideal for a small one room retreat for the kids, for a storage room or for your own relaxing weekend getaway.
It’s obvious they have evolved quite a bit since the 1800’s just like the American family has done so. Small log cabins are the perfect choice for a quick vacation, a new home for your retirement, a small retreat for holidays in your backyard, or for your own unfulfilled mission in life—to build your own rural paradise.
