Rustic, woodsy, the stuff of American lore: Yup, we’re describing the simple yet solid log cabin.
With summer upon us, it’s no wonder we’re thinking about a rustic residence for an easy escape. These charming abodes are often found in secluded spots perfect for a weekend getaway—or an even longer break.
And while many of these types of properties date to the days of yore (the oldest log home still standing in the U.S. is from 1638), there’s no reason buyers have to reach back that far—there are plenty of modern log residences available.
In fact, we scoped out listings nationwide and found five log cabins on the market right now. Four of the five are priced below the national median, which means they’re also affordable. Let’s chop it up!
Price: $399,500
Coveted cabin: We love what they’ve done with the place. Built in 2013, this adorable two-bedroom log cabin features multiple outdoor spaces, glass doors, and a vaulted ceiling with a massive stone fireplace.
You can relax on the covered porch or whip up a barbecue on the large deck. The home sits on 2.69 woodsy acres with a grassy lawn out back. Creature comforts include a modern kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, a stacked laundry unit, and a basement that’s been finished as a family room.

River’s edge: Located on the Pack River, this custom timber home offers up 1,835 square feet of living space, including three bedrooms. Although it sits among tall trees, the space is full of light. And you can also take in the natural surroundings from the newly built deck.
Highlights include hickory hardwood floors, warm wood accents, and a stone fireplace. Plus, a cozy country kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, hickory cabinets, and a breakfast nook.
The 2.44-acre property has a private trail plus river frontage. A new owner can float, fish, and wade in the clear waters or relax on the river’s edge. Along with the luxe cabin, a separate building offers space for a workshop or extra storage.
