Log cabin floor plans 5 (Part 1)

Log cabin floor plans - You'll have to study this plan a bit before you realize how interesting it could be. The central entrance area is like having a porch. In fact, it could be screened on both sides instead of being partially enclosed as shown on the plan. If you prefer this arrangement, enclose the ends toward the bedroom and living room. Even when you aren't able to use the central roofed area, you'll find that there is plenty of room for dining and relaxing in the living area of the cabin.

The patio formed by the bedroom and living-room areas could be paved as described for the tenth cottage of this series of plans. The roof could also be screened. Corrugated Fiberglas in colors could also be used.

The outdoor closet areas near the entrance could be used for storage of an outboard motor, a pump, water heater, and other equipment. If the fireplace is omitted, be sure to brace this corner, as it carries a considerable roof load.
