Log Cabin Book Reviews

Looking for log cabin book reviews to help you sort through the many books out there covering log cabins and log homes? Which are the best and which are a waste of time? We’re starting a new section with reviews of books dealing with cabins and log home that will help you decide which cabin books and log home books are for you.

By offering personal and subjective reviews, we hope to provide some guidance and direction for other people aspiring to the log home lifestyle to sort through the choices and find the book or books best suited for their interests.

We analyze these books based on our own hands-on experience as log home builders and licensed contractors. We also have a list of recommended reading on our Virtual Library page, with both books and magazines that will help you advance your dream of log home living.

In addition to our own log home reading and cabin book reviews, we encourage you to submit a review or critique of any books you’ve read relating to log cabins, log homes, rustic decorating, mountain living, living off the grid, green building, back-to-nature lifestyles, sustainable living, or other related topics.

Log Cabin Book Review Guidelines

Submit book reviews related to log cabins, log homes or timber frame homes only - Every review is read beforehand and any that are not related to cabins or log home living will be deleted. We want to keep this focused on log home-related topics.

Submit original reviews - You must be the original author. We will book reviews similar to those you may have submitted elsewhere but will not publish anything that is copied or that you didn’t write.

Submit family-friendly material - No profanity please, it will simply be removed. We will not accept reviews that promote discrimination, bigotry, violence or pornography. This is not the place for that.

Submit informative and engaging pieces - We are not interested in posting extended advertisements or self-promotional material. Provide your readers with real-life experiences, give them recommendations, share your good reads and bad. Write something you would like to read.

Submit reviews of 400 words or more - The more words you provide, the easier it is for people to find and the more readers you will have! Remember, 400 words is only the minimum.
