Log Cabins in Alaska





During our travels in Alaska, we've seen dozens of log homes. Some of them are modest log cabins, others are breath- taking log homes. We saw a number of log homes being built, but we thought this model log house in Soldatna was wonderful.

If you "pop up" the first picture, you will get a good idea of the size as well as quality of workmanship. Notice the wraparound deck. In the second picture, you see the second level deck as well as the satellite dish on the back of the house. The ridgepole on the top ridge and over the front door were both extended and carved into the eagle which you see on the front--and in the fourth picture.

We especially liked the fine wood carving on the front door.
