A small historic log cabin

It seems whenever I post photos of cabins online that small ones like this draw the most attention and the greatest number of comments. I can understand why.

Log cabin plans

I regularly am getting requests for guidance in where to best find plans for a nice small log cabin. My response is that I’ve never found plans anywhere that I like… they are always too… modern… brick rancher type… or Mclogmansion… where as I admire the classic cabin style.
I am in the process of scanning and issuing copies of my hand drawn plans of cabins that I have built in the past (at a huge discount), but the process is slow and I’m so easily distracted… mainly from putting together the Handmade House Academy program. For anyone interested in obtaining these proven plans they should consider signing up to my newsletter on my site… handmadehouses. com for updates when they become available… also… consider signing on to the upcoming “Academy” where I will demonstrate how I, or anyone, can draw their own plans. (the course will be well worth it for that skill alone) BTW… I did not draw this image… I’m a builder… lol… not a pen and ink artist… maybe one day though I’ll be able to do this craft too… skill comes through practice, after all.

A fine cabin… an old tavern

I wonder how many of you know what the purpose of the free standing steps were that are seen out front of this fine cabin?

Tucked away in the woods

How is that something so basic as a structure like this can impress the soul more than a new home built today?

The simple pleasures of cabin living

It’s hard for me to fully appreciate the fact that not that long ago there was no exterior lighting.
The world was a very dark place on moonless nights.
There weren’t any flashlights either.
But… there were lanterns.
It’s been too long since I’ve taken an evening walk with nothing but the glow provided by a lantern to light my path.
I need to put that on my list of “things to do”.

A one-of-a-kind cabin

An old log cabin, re-purposed years ago into a larger farmhouse. An interesting choice to side only the newer addition areas, and to side it with natural edged siding. Likely you’ll never see another with that combination.
