A real log cabin! email this discussion to a friend?

I spent the afternoon at one of my co-workers' log cabin. Her husband and son in laws built it by hand. After the sleigh ride we went in and had soup and desserts! it was toasty warm, being warmed by a Ben Franklin wood burner. Inside was also a loft where her grandkids like to sleep. It was like being taken back in history! Have you ever been in a real log cabin? Would you ever like to live in one?

Sounds like you had a great time and it sounds like a scene out of a movie the way it is described. I have never been in a real log cabin that I can recall. Living in one is not a dream of mine but I have a friend who has always wanted one.

Here in MN I can drive a hundred miles and see MANY log cabin homes actually.
Back in the late 70's there was a boom of them being placed on farm land etc.

Other than visiting a historical site that had preserved log cabins from the past, I've never been in a real log cabin. I remember at my grandmother's when I was a child, she would always let us watch a movie called The Wilderness Family. The family moved from the city to the country, and after that I always wanted to try it too. At least when I was a kid.

It's still fun...so peaceful and beautiful out there!

Did you take any pictures?, just curious.

I absolutely love log cabins. I feel so close to nature and cozy all over.

We stay in cabins when we go camping sometimes. Depends on how long we go for and I think they are the best. Would I like to live in one? Oh heck yes!! For sure...I would feel right at home with all the birds and animals surrounding me. Sounds like you had a very nice time.


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (11787)   ranked 1 out of 38,434 in life  11 months ago

I think I would love to live in the woods in one too!

No Jill, in all my life, I have never been inside a real log cabin, well, only when I was small at Silver Dollar City in Missouri from what I remember.
I would love to do that..it sounds so awesomely fun and beautiful.
And yes, lately, I have been thinking a lot about a nice log cabin in the woods, near a lake...funny you should mention this.
I bet you just loved it! Happy for you my dewar friend!happy

I have stayed in a cabin like that before while on vacation. It was great. I would love to have my own cabin like this, but I cannot afford it...


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (11787)   ranked 1 out of 38,434 in life  11 months ago

I know..it would be wonderful!


myLot reputation of 71/100. goldeneagle (3567)   ranked 1,714 out of 38,434 in life  11 months ago

I probably won't ever be able to afford it. It is nice to rent one for a weekend or something every now and then though. You can actually have one of those built relatively cheap if you already have some land to put it on. Those kits aren't that expensive, and the companies usually have crews to assemble them for you. Maybe you should look into it...

I had a friend years ago in the A.A. club that owned a log cabin home in Mora MN. It was a 3 BR home and was so beautiful. It used to be a monthly visit at least for me to go up there to his home. It has always been a dream of mine to have one but.... Hahaha! They have kits now for Log homes. They drop the lkit off on the property and the logs etc are numbered for assembly like Licoln Logs. It's a shell of a home is all with walls having to be added etc but cheap actually at first.

Hi Jill,
Sounds like you had a very good time on your little adventure. I'm so happy for you! And yes I have been inside a log cabin, while on vacation. I loved being out in the wild with wild animals around in the morning. Birds were every where, ducks on the lake, wild deer coming in real close so you could touch them, it was awesome. I've always wanted to live in one. If I caould afford it and didn't have to work, I would love it. I wouldn't have to leave unless I needed to restock on supplies. Oh what a life!!!!

The sleigh ride sounds like fun too!! Was there lots of snow there? The scenery souns awesome too. I'm glad you had a nice day, my friend.

Have a nice day..

I have been in real log cabins that were built by the people. I think they bought a kit and everything was delivered and they built it themselves. It was wonderful and Yes I would Love to live in one. It has been a dream of mine for a long time. I really love the rustic feeling of that life style.
