House Lust: 5 Cozy Log Cabins on the Market in RI
From an updated home in the 'burbs to a pondside retreat in the sticks, these log cabins offer shelter from the storm.
It’s cold out there, but these log cabins are toasty warm.
Truly: Log cabins are super energy efficient and trap in heat better than their conventional neighbors. They’re also warm to the touch; wood stores heat, unlike chilly plaster or drywall. It makes sense, then, that Rhode Island — a summertime sanctuary, sure, but with brutally cold winters — would have its fair share of log homes. You’ll find them in the suburbs, by the beach, out in the sticks and in the quiet corner.
Here are five stand-out log cabins on the market:
-
