Southland Log Homes: Custom Anson
Winner: Log Home (3,001-4,000 sq. ft.)
Manufacturer: Southland Log Homes
Location: Gatlinburg, Tenn.
The Anson is a cabin with grand features. The great room has a high cathedral ceiling and a fireplace on a side wall. There are two French doors leading off the back to a large deck — one in the great room, one in the dining room. The half bath and the master suite are on the first floor. The master bath has a corner shower and a large garden tub. The second and third bedrooms are on the second level, as well as an open balcony, another full bath and lots of storage. The front of the house has three attractive dormers and a covered front porch for relaxing and entertaining. This model was specifically designed to have the fireplace off to the side of the room so that none of the views from the great room would be blocked.
