Eight ways to make money with your log home

Many of our members turn their log homes into money making ventures. There are actually a lot of ways to use your log home to make money, and here are eight different methods:

1) You can turn your log home into a Bed and Breakfast. There is a lot of demand for log B&Bs, because they offer guests a unique and awesome experience. It's just a totally different staying in a log home, than going to a 'regular old' stick framed B&B. After attending our log home class one student built the Lucky Dog Lodge and it has been a very successful log B&B. Cook's B&B was also very profitable, especially when they sold it!

2) There's a different way to make money with a log B&B that is worth mentioning. Rather than just going for regular nightly clients, you can broaden your customer base by targeting group events, or functions. Usually all you need is an extra log event hall next to your B&B building. Good groups to focus on are weddings, business retreats, scrap-booking conventions, stamping conventions, scholastic events, et cetera. One of our students built the Wallace Falls Lodge, which has been so popular for group rentals and weddings that is it almost always booked.
