Get Back to Your Roots with a Small Log Home.

Building of log homes is a trend that’s on the rise. The problem with it is, the reason, supposedly, for our love affair with log homes is to touch base with our pioneer roots. Well the pioneers lived in small log homes, not the gargantuan log palaces being built today.

A small log home containing one maybe two rooms is the ideal replica for those persons actually trying to recapture that old sense of the pioneer spirit. When you live in a log home with twelve rooms, and five appliances, you’re not trying to go rustic; you’re living in a wooden mansion. Most small log homes have fireplaces just like the ones of our forebears. Why it is that today, many log homes are missing that conspicuous piece?

When trying to embody the drive that accompanied the builders of those original small log homes think like they did, not a grand scale, but to the immediate concern. A shelter that is strong and sturdy, but not impossible to make with hand tools. A small log home is a true way to relive that original push west that spawned the construction of so many of the original log homes.
