Log homes give off a rustic appearance no matter where they are situated. They exist in Colorado, up to Wisconsin, down to Alabama and everywhere in between. Log houses vary in size, shape and style, but the one thing that remains true throughout the variety is the beauty of the exterior. The log look is novel and owning a home with such aesthetics is a lifelong dream for many different people.
Log houses are popular because of their beauty and there are variations under the log home umbrella.
