Do It Yourself Cabin

After the logs were raised and the roof was on Larry and Donna Newton’s cabin in rural Kentucky, they took over completion of the home they’d long dreamed about.

A mudroom with a half-bath, storage and a laundry closet opens onto a full-length front porch that extends slightly around the side of the house. This covered extension connects a breezeway to a two-car garage.

Off the dining room to the back of the house is a screened-in porch that opens onto a deck.

The loft is one large room that can be used as an extra bedroom, a den, an office or a hobby room that is open to the great room below.

Like all Honest Abe floor plans, this plan can be built as a log, timber frame or hybrid home.
