re: Has anyone here had a log cabin built?

I looked into it when I was in the market a few years back. Found that you can build one for about the same as a regular house of comparable size. My dream was to build one decorated like a fishing lodge on a local lake. I chose not to go that route because it looks to me like there would be tremendous upkeep on the thing. That thing would have to be stained every few years and I am just not interested in all of that.
