If you're like I was until recently, you probably are sick of the inconvenience and expense of having to rent a log cabin every time that you go on your family summer vacation. Sure, it does allow you the flexibility of changing your destination at will, but really, the expense adds up pretty quickly.

Wood Log Cabins

Wood cabins are a popular part of history, and still exist to this day anywhere from the mountains to campsites and in between. First introduced in the 1700’s by Swedish settlers, wood cabins (also known as log cabins) usually contained only one room; were built without the use of nails; was incredibly small (usually no bigger than ten feet across) and typically included a loft area, used for sleeping.

Back then, wood cabins rarely had any windows, but if a window was created, pioneers would use animals’ skins or specially cut boards to cover them. Fireplaces were also a central part of the wood cabins, and would generally burn all day, keeping the family warm.

Flooring was pretty much non-existent, so most of the floors were just bare earth. If a family was lucky, logs were used to create the basis for a floor. Wood cabins were very rustic, and contained little or no “modern” amenities. They were sturdy and did provide a good and comfortable home during that period of history.
