Anyone Ever Build A Log Cabin Before?!

[Joe Delgrosso]

We've recently inherited some land in middle TN in an area where log cabins are very popular (it's not Gatlinburg, but a lake and camping community near Cookeville, TN). Our goal is to build a small log cabin on that land and rent it out as a short term rental. 

Any advice, good stories, horror stories, etc. that anyone can provide regarding the building of a log cabin home? Has everyone gone through Honest Abe's Log Cabin Homes? Are there issues with the upkeep of them?
