Log Cabin Plans

Log cabin homes are made from logs that have not been milled into conventional lumber. Log cabins are built by placing the logs horizontally and interlocked on the ends with notches. Typically Log Cabins are smaller than Log House Plans, while the term “cabin” indicates a smaller, rustic, log house such as a hunting cabin in the woods. Log cabin homes appeared in North America in the early 1700s and were quickly adopted by early colonists and Native Americans. In the 1920s, the first milled log houses appeared on the market, making Log Cabin house plans extremely popular.
