There’s something about a log cabin that captures the imagination: a closeness to nature, living a rustic lifestyle, enjoying the adventurous life. And in the case of these five cabins we’ve found, you’re also getting a great home at an affordable price.

Log cabins do have their advantages. For example, natural wood has incredible powers of insulation, keeping the heat in during the winter and maintaining cool temperatures in the summer. In addition, well-built log cabins offer timeless, classic details that never go out of style.

Best of all, they can be real bargains! The five we’ve found for you today are all priced below $300,000.

Take a look at these five wood-built beauties.
