 Log Cabins Offer Escape From Hectic Lifestyle
It seems many Americans are becoming more and more frustrated with the impact of the recession on their lifestyle. Struggling with this economy many people are looking for inexpensive ways to get away from it all. One of the most popular escapes for many from the work-a-day world is that quaint cabin in the woods. With interest rates at historic lows and land being more affordable than ever many people are realizing a log cabin getaway is within their means.
Frank Koechlein, Director of Marketing for REAL LOG HOMES has recently seen an increase in inquiries about building a REAL LOG HOMES® log cabin. These cabins are smaller than a typical primary residence and are usually 250-550 square feet in size and cost anywhere from $20,000 to $35,000 to build. This price does not include purchasing the land. Many families have land that has been in their families for generations. A log cabin is the ideal low cost solution to a family retreat.
“Imagine the setting; Twilight and you just returned from the lake with your family and the trophy catch. We sell many log cabins based on the romance of the outdoor lifestyle,” says Kerri White, Director of Sales for REAL LOG HOMES “Log cabins are small in footprint, create minimal impact on the environment, and are an economical way for families to spend quality time together.”
The design parameters are relatively flexible so you can design just the perfect cabin for your piece of land. “REAL LOG HOMES offers 6 standard cabin floor plans, most of the people who build a log cabin start with one of the standard plans and personalize it to their specific tastes and lifestyle,” says Kerri.
In this tough economic environment everyone is making do with less, a log cabin offers families a low cost opportunity to spend time together in a rustic setting. “ Over the course of growing a family the cost of a log cabin in the family for vacations is a fraction of the cost of a series of “typical” family vacations, and they can be a lot more rewarding, says Frank.
