Take a Tour inside the Custom King Log Cabin

There is so much to love about this stunning craftsman log cabin design that displays the honesty and simplicity of a truly American house. Its main features are a low-pitched, gabled roof with a wide overhang and exposed roof rafters. Its porches are either full or partial width, with tapered columns or pedestals that extend to the ground level.
