Log Cabin Homes takes wood very seriously. Their log grading is green certified, and they make sure to use every part of the log, whether for building materials, landscaping, or other features. They offer a wide variety of designs, from the modest Chesapeake cabin to the two-level, three-bedroom Buffalo Lodge. Whichever style you choose, you can learn how to build your own by attending one of their free construction seminars.

New York-based Finger Lakes Log Homes got its start 30 years ago when owner Michael Griffin cut down his own pine trees, hauled them out of the woods, and trucked them to his building site, cutting them to size with a chainsaw.
