The high humidity in many conventional homes promotes the growth of bacteria and increases air-borne allergens which can cause major health issues such as itchy skin, watery eyes, blocked noses and even asthma. However, in log cabins the timber is breathable so the level of humidity inside is kept at a regular healthy level.

Obviously, you cannot build a log cabin in the middle of the urban jungle! Log cabins need a certain landscape to go well with their utterly natural look. Some of the things you need are trees, shrubberies, rocks, and pebbles. You can go with the lush forest look or the more minimal but elegantly-designed rock garden. Ponds are also a common feature of log cabin front yards.
