Imagine kicking back at The Little Mountain Cabin, a cozy lodge just outside Borlova, Romania. You’ve got mountain views out the window, a bathroom with a proper shower, a dining table for board games or meals, a comfy seating corner, and a kitchen that actually works—microwave, toaster, the whole deal. There’s a terrace for your morning coffee or evening chat. And when you’re itching for action, skiing and biking trails are right around the corner. Best part? You’re only about 14 miles from town.
Thinking about your own log cabin? Here’s why they’re awesome:
Budget-friendly
Building with logs won’t empty your wallet. Cutting and prepping wood uses way less energy than making bricks or concrete, so your build costs drop.
Built to last
Log cabins shrug off wild weather—rain, snow, gusty winds—and they won’t fall apart if you leave them empty for months. Some hardwood cabins in Europe and the U.S. have stood strong for centuries. Just pick solid wood, and even big storms can’t knock them over.
Healthy, natural material
Logs aren’t full of chemicals. You can even use reclaimed wood to build a cabin in your backyard, and you’ll breathe easier—goodbye dust and allergy triggers.
Cozy all year
Logs soak up heat and let it go slowly. That means a log cabin stays toasty in winter and pleasantly cool in summer, so you save on your energy bills without extra effort.
Renewable and reusable
Trees grow back, so logs are a forever resource. When you’re done, you can even take apart an old cabin and use those same logs to build something new.
