Mountain Homes
With the season approaching its autumn glory, many people are heading to mountains for the turning leaves, cooler temperatures and prospect of a roaring fire in a cozy log cabin.
While a mountain log home is a temporary getaway for some, for others it’s a lifelong dream.
Honest Abe Log Homes has seen a lot of dreams come true over 40 years, and a lot of those have been in the form of a mountain log cabin.
We invite you to read the stories and see the photos of Honest Abe of eight homeowners who live in a log home in the mountains of Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina – just like they always wanted.
