Log Cabin Classics

Cabins were initially designed to blend in with nature and take advantage of the natural environment as much as possible, and this book highlights that living in a great log cabin is about loving where you reside and not about how much square footage your house covers.

Table of Contents

Robbin Obomsawin’s book features twenty classic cabin designs that are under1,500 square feet, and she writes in the hope of bringing the cabin back to its roots. She doesn’t ignore the needs of today’s homeowners, bur rather incorporates contemporary design ideas, trends and potential needs into her plans for designing dwellings that seem very nostalgic in today’s fast paced, cutting edge world. The book also gives great construction advice such as picking a site, using local materials, and offers design suggestions.

Robbin Obomsawin is the author of Small Log Homes, Best Log Home Plans and The Not So Log Cabin. She lives in Westdale, New York, and is the construction manager and general contractor for Beaver Creek Log Homes. She has served as vice president of the American/Canadian Log Builders Association for Handcrafters.
