Barb: Log cabins

[Guest guest]

Hi Barb,

You should probably do a search for campgrounds in your area. All

of the log cabins we stayed in were in KOA and other private

campgrounds, but check prices from several different campgrounds.

Prices can range anywhere from $45 per night with no weekly or monthly

rates to $270 per month. Check with state parks as well, many state

and national parks have campgrounds, some of which may have cabins.

Check also to be sure they are log cabins and not conventionally

constructed, if they are conventional construction type cabins, be

sure to check it out thuroughly before paying for a month to make sure

it is mold free.

Another thing to check out is the laundry rooms, shower rooms, and

rest rooms to make sure they don't have mold. I suppose even if they

do, being in there for a few minutes per day is not as bad as living

in a moldy home 24/7. In every campground we stayed at, none of the

log cabins had bathrooms in them, they are basic housing with

campground facilities, however most of the campgrounds were very

clean, and the showers are semi-private so it really wasn't as bad an

issue as I thought it would be. I was real apprehensive about taking

a shower at a campground, but when I got in there and saw each shower

had a closed off small dressing room and shower, my apprehension

wasn't so severe anymore. A couple places we stayed actually had

locking rooms for each shower. You will just have to check them out

for yourself to see. Campers are pretty casual and to themselves, it

was not unnusual to see a woman walking back to her RV from the shower

rooms wearing her bathrobe and carrying her towel. Another thing

surprising to us is there doesn't seem to be a real security problem

in RV campgrounds, we would leave for hours with our tent full of

stuff, and no one ever bothered anything we own. Unlike

neighborhoods, you don't have school kids cruising or other traffic

passing through the neighborhood, because it isn't a neighborhood, it

is a campground and most people there respect each others privacy and

belongings.

On a long shot, you may simply want to search for log cabins for

rent in your area, or log homes. Most log homes do not have

carpeting, it is the rustic look and feel people go for in building

log cabins, and most put in hardwood floors, not carpeting. I'm not

sure what is in your area, or the need for you to remain or how far

you can move, so a lot of information I cannot give you. Campground

log cabins are nothing more than a little cabin with electricity a

heater and window air unit, some have a microwave and little fridge

and oven, some are just a bed and table, there are a few we have seen

that were two bedroom suites, but that depends on how much you are

willing to spend. We found a one room cabin in Pueblo West, Colorado

for $270/month, but they have a waiting list. When our name came up,

we checked them out and were unable to get internet connection there

so we turned it down, the internet is our income and cannot live

without it.

I hope this information helps you,
