The Benefits of Purchasing a Log Cabin Vacation Home

Chase Fairchild • Feb 18, 2021
Do you love nature? Would you love to build an affordable vacation home that will help you escape from the hustle and bustle of your daily life?

Believe it or not, pre-built log cabins offer a number of benefits to homeowners, not the least of which is their affordability.

Here's what you'll love about having your own beautiful log cabin.

1. Your Health
We all know that taking time away from the daily pressures of life can make you happier. But did you know that it can make you healthier as well?

Those who take regular vacations enjoy lower stress, a lower risk of heart disease, and a better outlook on life. Getting away from your usual scenery can increase your mindfulness, forcing you to wake up and be fully present in the world around you. This can, in turn, increase your compassion and happiness.

Those in creative work might also find that they have their best ideas or inspiration while away from home. Immersing yourself in a new environment can relax your state of mind, which will increase your novel output. 

In addition, those who struggle will anxiety and depression may find they get tremendous relief from their symptoms in the woods. It can lift your spirits and increase endorphins, which are hormones that increase your feelings of euphoria and sense of well-being.

2. Outdoor Exercise
A cabin surrounded by trees and sunshine gives you a unique opportunity to commune with nature. Even if you're just sipping coffee on your front porch, you'll experience decreased muscle tension and blood pressure. The vitamin D from the sunshine can help to fight disease, reduce depression, and even foster weight loss. 

Your cozy nook in the woods also gives you a great spot from which to get out and enjoy some free outdoor workouts. You can go for a hike, jump on your bike, or just take an easy nature walk.

Outdoor exercise can help you burn more calories because you're less focused on how tired you feel or any pain you may be experiencing. It's also a great way to get inspired to work out longer.

Outdoor exercise can improve your self-esteem as well as your feelings of well-being. If you're looking for a great way to get healthy exercise and stress relief more often, your own log cabin can be all the inspiration you need.

3. Log Cabin Homes Are Affordable
Getting away can cost you, especially if you're paying for transportation, hotels, and eating out often. A second home can end up saving you money if you get away a lot, but the mortgage can become quite a burden on your monthly budget.

Modular homes and pre-built log homes, however, are quite affordable. In fact, our log cabins start as low as $35,000 and go up to around $90,000. 

4. Time With Family
Some vacations involve a lot of sight-seeing and running around, making it feel like you're still in the middle of your itinerary-driven daily life.

Log cabins, however, are built for quality bonding. With little to distract you, board games, home-cooked meals, and reading together can make your home away from home a haven for family time. 

Spending time communicating with those you love can improve communication and reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety. It can also help your children perform better in school and lower their risk of behavioral problems.

As you teach your children new skills and enjoy playing games with them, their self-confidence will increase. They'll also grow more adaptable and resilient when facing life's challenges. 

Healthy relationships will also strengthen your physical health, improving your heart, brain, and immunity. It may even help to increase your life expectancy!

Does your family spend a little too much time at home switching between organized activities and screen time? A cabin in the woods could be the perfect way to encourage the bonding they need to develop into healthy adults.

5. Environmentally Friendly
Characteristics in wood can trap heat, which means that your HVAC systems won't have to work so hard. And the raw materials for them are often taken from sustainable forests. Log cabins are created from natural products that leave a low carbon footprint.

You can make your cabin in the woods even more eco-friendly with a few simple maintenance steps. Increasing your insulation, replacing old windows, and installing energy-efficient doors can all ensure that you'll be paying less to maintain your home.

6. Customize Your Home
The beauty of a log cabin home is that you can tailor it to meet your specific needs and dreams.

Do you want a lake house where you can enjoy the sunsets, fishing, and boating? Are you looking for a hunting cabin where you can get up early and be a part of nature? Or do you simply want a weekend getaway where you can enjoy time with your partner, friends, or family?

You can customize your cabin to meet the unique needs of your visits. For example, you may want a porch where you can enjoy sunrises and a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Or you may want built-in bunks or lofts where your kids can have sleepovers. 

Your log cabin home can be the retreat of your dreams because you can make it exactly what you need it to be.

The Magic of a Log Cabin Home
If you're dreaming of the perfect getaway where you can get in touch with nature and experience all of the benefits that come with it, a log cabin in the woods could be just right for you.

And with affordable prices and customizable features, you could be building your dream home before you know it.
