Into the Woods, We Found 10 Lovely Log Cabins Priced Below $300K

realtor.com

Log cabins are magical places. Remote and rustic, often surrounded by trees, they provide a cozy retreat from the stresses of daily life.

Although early versions built by American colonists were drafty and uncomfortable, over the years the log cabin has become a symbol of American resilience in the rugged wilderness. These days, you’ll find many that were lovingly built by hand and even tailored to specific interests and activities.

While they certainly aren’t fussy or pretentious, today’s log cabins are outfitted with the creature comforts sought by buyers who aren’t keen to hike to an outhouse when nature calls. They’re also further proof vacation homes aren’t just for the richest 1%—everyday working folks can afford a retreat of their very own.

With affordability in mind, we chopped through the thicket of log cabin listings across America to find 10 that were priced below $300,000. They’re sure to inspire you to pack a bag and head into the great outdoors.
