Log House Plans

Present day versions of log house plans are designed with relaxation and comfort of country home. They can be one or two stories and range in size offering just the basics or spacious rooms and lavish, modern features. There are numerous styles available including Vacation house plans, lodge designs, Waterfront homes and Mountain retreats. Log homes often incorporate prows accommodating plenty of large floor-to-ceiling windows designed to capture views of the surrounding landscape. Wood decks, charming dormers, inviting covered porches, metal roofs and stone chimneys contribute to the rustic look and feel of these homes while delivering the sense of living hand-in-hand with nature. In general, log house designs feature open living areas, an expansive great room for gathering, soaring ceilings, exposed interior logs and a radiant fireplace. And an added bonus – these homes are environmentally friendly. Logs are a renewable resource and their thermal characteristics generally exceed the minimum energy efficiency code requirements making log cabin floor plans and log homes an earth-conscious substitute for common house plans.
