Is there someone that has used discounts applied to their postcard cabins/Getaway? I had to go and verify my ID on ID.ME and I m not getting the discount code. Has anyone had this issue when trying to book a cabin?

Hey good morning! My name is Bobby and I currently have 8 or more years of experience in different fields of construction however the main one I’m focused on is Log home restoration! I’m looking for advice on the advantages of starting a LLC to possibly start this business in the next 6 months or so! I would also be greatly appreciative of anyone had any advice on getting the most out starting a LLC and if there are any type of benefits I can use to help me Get started with a LLC. I have some capital to start the business but any advice on dealing with banks and such. I know that success and advice isn’t free but I’m just a guy trying to turn his life around and make Something of it! So thank you to those who have read this far and continue!

A little about me and the business is I currently live in southeast unfortunately and pine log homes are not a huge thing lol however my experience consist of log home restoration from brand new builds usually well mainly custom built homes from British Columbia which range in the millions to Turk key log homes that were bought with the owners intention to give the home some new life! A old home would consist of a complete spray down with a eco-safe proprietary blend of cleaner to power wash the home from top to bottom. Afterwards extreme care is given to check every inch of the home for any rot or sun burnout. We would then give the home a less intense type of sanding like procedure and then respray the home with a maintenance coat of the original homes tint and product done every few years to maintain the homes integrity. We also (which I enjoy the much) is apply a chinking to the home per the customers specifications which usually is for giving the home a more attractive look while some homes it’s needed to keep out dirt or sand that may blow in through separations in certain spots between logs.

New builds the multimillion dollar homes are usually in the 8-50 million range before they even start anything else due to quality of wood chose from British Columbia lumbar yards usually extremely unique cedar type logs. After these logs sit so long and the company comes and puts the cabin together usually my Jon would be to fly out and they sand or (Osborn) the entire building every square inch of wood to remove a outer layer capable of absorbing the stain and giving it a amazing look! However most of this work is done throughout the country but the southeast is notorious for not being able to handle the humidity without rotting the logs and sourcing cedar and quality. But I apologize the purpose of this post is I want to get back into this work with even possibly starting a small business focused just on those aspects of the business. I’m just looking for advice or guidance from anyone who may be experienced in the occupation or just in running a business in general! Thank u everyone!

TL:DR-wanting to start a small business or get back into loghome restoration business with starting my own company in the near future and needing some guidance and advice from experienced and successful business owners! I’d also love to hear from New or old Cabin owners that could give me some pros and cons of living and owing a log home or cabin that could Help me out with ideas of services people may need Thank u guys! Also please always feel free to private message me or email mdsurn@gmail.com with any questions/advice/requests/or just to say hey 🙂 have a great day!

Hey guys. Just a guy from down under wanting to ask a few questions. I’ve been looking to move to the US of A for a while and wanted to get myself a nice woodland property. Always dreamed of having a nice little secluded cabin tucked away in the woods n just living off the land. I’ve been looking at properties in Idaho recently but just wanted some opinions on if there are better locations to do what im trying to do. Thanks guys! P.S. i have already worked out the green card situation and are now just looking at places. Thanks! 😁

I'm interested in seeing a replica of the Proenneke cabin and not the one in Iowa.

I am thinking about getting something, a older 4x4 and would love to know what the group drives at their cabin? ThankS!

Looking for a group of cabin/cottage/yurt rental in the Tri State area.. Adirondaks, Catskills and places like this are where we are looking, but open to other places too!

Just went to purchase a couple cabin packs for 2 trips this year and could not find them. Turns out that they just recently discontinued them. Unsure if something will replace them or not.

If you have an existing one, I am not sure what happens with that.

THe stay 7 nights, get one free appears to be there still.

I just found this contest and have entered, got a link for anyone else that fancies entering

For those who don't have a regular washer/dryer at their cabin, what do you do for laundry?

We have been bringing it home to wash but I would love to figure out a way to wash it at the cabin. If we could leave a few set of clothes there, it would save us from packing and unpacking everything we go and I feel like it would make our lives easier.

We have access to water and electricity but our cabin is tiny so putting a washer in is not an option.

I currently drain the water and leave the Fujistu XLTH heat pump system set at 50F. We use it about once a month in the winter. What are the disadvantages of fully winterizing and letting it freeze in between uses? Would there be any reason to not winterize a cabin and leave the heat off? Reading online I see a lot of insurance blogs saying to it’s recommended to not let a house cool below 50. Our region generally is about -10 to 33f in winter. Our cabin is on well water.

We are putting an addition on a cabin. Existing cabin is a one room 22x24 cabin. Addition will be 24x26. We will insulate and Sheetrock the ceiling. Not going to tape the ceiling, just for fire protection. We wanted to put up pine tongue and groove, but cost for just the ceiling would be about $2,700. Thinking about metal for the ceiling. Only concern is condensation. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions or if it will even be a problem. Some context, cabin is in northern Minnesota. We let the cabin freeze and then come up and heat it for a couple days or so. We do this 4 times over the winter. Thoughts?

Hey everyone, can anyone give me a rough estimate of what it would cost to have the Amish build me a 30'x40' shell of a cabin - i.e Just the slab (may opt for stilt construction), walls, rough, windows, door etc. I'm intending to do all the interior work myself including drywall, electrical, plumbing, HVAC etc. This will initially be an off grid cabin so I'm planning to leave room for an indoor bathroom/shower but I will be making an outhouse to start off with. It will be in the tionesta, PA area.

I realize there are a ton of variables to factor in, but I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience with a build like this. I have no idea if it would be on $20k end of things or more like $60k.

We have a small and simple summer cabin that we use as a weekend gateway. We're middle class so it's nothing fancy. I'm looking for content from people like us who just enjoy their cabin. Most blogs/accounts I find are about people renovating cabins to rent,turning cabins into a full-time home, etc. Any recs?

I subscribe to a few channels with excellent content focused on Maine. But I can’t seem to find equivalents for Virginia?

Any ideas? Many thanks in advance!
