What is a 2 Bedroom Log Cabin?
The size and design of a 2 Bedroom Log Cabin are different from those of a one-room cabin. A two-room cabin offers more space for living and storage. You can store more important items and extra possessions if you have a 2 bedroom log cabin. Generally, it is easier to move from one room to another in a larger structure. The following article will discuss the size and design of a 2 bedroom cabin and the costs associated with them.

Costs
The costs of a 2 bedroom log cabin vary greatly, depending on your location, design, and materials used. Depending on your desired features and design, the cost for log homes may range from $150 to $600 per square foot. The price per square foot includes materials and labor, which is about $1 per square foot. A quality kitchen will cost about $2,500 to $5,000, depending on your chosen appliances. You can also add decorative timber frame accents, such as shingles, for a fraction of the price.

Size
If you're looking for a small log cabin, one of the best options is the "Timbertrail" floor plan. Its design evokes the cozy charm of log cabins in the mountains, while keeping its size manageable. The Maplewood Log Cabin Model comes with an angled prow great room, two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and an attached 3-car garage. Smaller cabins are much less expensive to build and maintain, and they are also energy efficient.

Construction methods
The construction methods of a 2 Bedroom Log Cabin vary considerably, depending on the style you are going for. There are several different ways to construct log cabins, from Scandinavian Chinkless to the more traditional butt and pass. The first method involves stacking logs and fitting them together, while the second method relies on a spin wheel, which pins logs together with no notching, scribing, or close fitting.

Materials
When it comes to choosing the materials for your new cabin, you have several options. You can use any tall tree, but certain trees are better than others for log cabin construction. Cypress, for example, produces remarkably resilient logs and is one of the best choices. However, there are some drawbacks to pine as well. For one thing, white pine stains easily, while yellow pine holds up better. If your budget is limited, you can always opt for cheaper pine. It is also just as durable as cedar.

Extras
If you are looking for a cozy vacation cabin with two bedrooms, consider renting a 2 bedroom log cabin. Two bedrooms typically have a king-sized bed in each room and a queen sofa bed in the living room. Some even have a game room. All of these cabins come with ample pillows and blankets, as well as towels for inside and outside use. A private bath completes the amenities in this home away from home.
