Log Home Design Over-time
Over the centuries new styles evolved, With the addition of extra rooms, hallways, chimneys, and even lofts and patios.
Entirely new designs, such as the Saddlebag Style (incorporating an extra room and porch) and the Adirondack Cabin (which included a higher, peaked roof) began emerging during the 1800s. During the 1850s, fancy log cabins known as ‘camps’ became prevalent as mountain vacation homes for the wealthy. Grand log homes also started to emerge around that time.
Today, the evolution of the log cabin peaks with the log mansion. The Great Lodge, as one of Canada’s largest log buildings and perhaps Ontario’s largest log residence, bridges antiquity with luxury.
Truly breathtaking, The Great Lodge’s soaring ceilings and magnificent logs combine the feats of modern architecture with history.
