Haven in the Woods: Embracing the Rustic Charm of Log Hunting Cabins
At Timberhaven Log & Timber Homes, we’ve always had a deep appreciation for the rustic charm and heartfelt memories that log hunting cabins create. Our mission is to craft homes that bring nature enthusiasts and adventure-seekers closer to the great outdoors. Today, we want to share the story of a special hunting log cabin, a modified Clear Creek model, that exemplifies everything we hold dear.
The rustic charm of log hunting cabins lies in their ability to blend in with their natural surroundings while offering the comforts and convenience of a home away from home. When we designed this mountain getaway for a couple of customers, we kept this in mind, ensuring it became a cozy haven for these nature enthusiasts. The cabin’s construction boasts 6×8 Engineered Logs with Mortise & Tenon corners, creating a sturdy structure and traditional look. We added corner fillers to prevent birds from building nests in the corners, ensuring that the cabin remained free from feathered friends who may wish to also call this their home.
One of the concerns many homeowners have with log cabins is the need for future maintenance, particularly on gable areas that can be challenging to access. To alleviate this concern, this homeowner installed LP Diamond Kote on the gables of the log cabin. This innovative solution not only enhanced the cabin’s rustic aesthetics but also provided a durable, low-maintenance finish. Our aim is to allow homeowners to enjoy their log hunting cabins without the constant worry of climbing ladders for maintenance, which is particularly essential for those who, like this couple, wish to spend their retirement years in the great outdoors.
The interior of the cabin was designed with comfort and functionality in mind. A spacious living area with a warm fireplace and large windows offer breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness. The open-concept great room and dining area are perfect for entertaining guests or just hanging out after a day of hunting or exploring.
On the first floor, the log cabin features two cozy bedrooms and two modern bathrooms, ensuring that all the comforts of home still follow while being immersed in nature. To accommodate grandkids and hunting buddies alike, a bunk room is situated on the second floor. Outside, the covered porch provides the perfect spot to relax and take in the fresh mountain air.
Timberhaven takes immense pride in our role in crafting exceptional log hunting cabins, which serve as havens for those seeking to reconnect with nature. Each cabin is a testament to our unwavering dedication to quality and craftsmanship, preserving the enduring appeal of log hunting cabins as symbols of rustic charm and timeless allure.
