Nice. My mom inherited a log cabin her father built right around WWW II. No plans, permits, etc. in those days...just cut and stripped the logs on the back 40 (he later sold that after a fire road was cut through the property). It hadn't been used for years when she inherited it, some 25 or so yearsago. First story entirely built from logs on the property, second from hand-hewn board. Knotty pine panelin inside, huge fireplace...and no running water nor electrity when we got there. Took us years of going up to rehab it. Finally got water in, a bunch of other improvements.
I figured it wouldn't last through my parents retiring. I was right...they had it torn down and trucked in a factory-built (home, not mobile) in 2 pieces...only a 2 bed, 1 bath rambler. Much more comfortable, and it doesn't take a cord of wood and an entire day to heat the damned thing, but I miss that old log cabin.
BTW, land had slid into the back side of the cabin on one corner, and rotted away part of the logs. I helped my dad cut the rot away, jacking up the cabin to replace that corner with 4x6 lumber. Couldn't see it unless you looked, but man, talk about a chore.
