A comfortable looking log home in Saratoga, Wyoming, has defied time by combining the old with the new. Great satellite dish. I bet the inside is as charming as the exterior.

Quite the anachronistic photo . . . log home, plastic chairs, dish antenna next to a regular antenna.

That’s what grabbed me. Many log homes in Saratoga, which is an old lumber town.

It’s really an old town and a few days you would enjoy. They have natural hot springs for soaking.

Log homes tend to be dark on the inside. I have seen a few log houses renovated in such a way that enough wood was covered with light painted drywall to light the place up. With enough of the woodwork showing, the house I think of had a modern look together with a great feeling of times past. A log house needs maintenance to look good and this house is very well maintained, looks great!

Yes, dark on the inside for sure, but I would add a window or several, and even one of those tubes that sends natural light into the house. I would guess that maybe that wood would create a woodsy smell inside. Thanks for the comment Joseph.

They are cheap, but they are comfortable. Brown, or even green would have been a better choice.

Given the location, I suppose I can overlook the satellite dish… but those plastic chairs just don’t work. How about a pair of nice wooden Adirondack chairs instead? (That would be my choice!)

And it is a good choice showing good taste. These days in economically depressed towns (Such as Saratoga, Wyoming) people go with what they can afford. Those plastic chairs are cheap, and comfortable.

Yes, this log home has tried to take on a modern feel, with limited success.
