Richly glassed, this A-frame log cabin home plan is a vacation retreat with a bright, partially two-story living room. The owners' suite, kitchen, and utilities fillthe main floor wings. Above, a wide loft overlooks the great room and shares its view. Bathroom, bunk room, and extensive storage spaces are also upstairs.

This Chinook is basically an A-frame log cabin, expanded by two wings and a lofty V-shaped window bay. Living space is a little more than 1,200 square feet.

Whole logs give this vacation cabin a rustic look, while the metal roof and abundance of sparkling glass add contemporary flavor. Besides being attractive, the metal roof serves as protection in case of fire.

Windows stacked fourhigh in the living room provide natural illumination on all but the darkest of winter days. The front section of this bright space has sliding glass doors that open onto a wide deck, and is open to the second floor ceiling. A loft caps the rear.

When days and nights turn chilly, you can fireup the fuel-efficient woodstove, nestled in a front corner by the windows. A good woodstove can provide needed heat throughout the seasons.

Refrigerator, stove and sink are close together in a galley kitchen larger than you'd expect to findin a cabin this size, and there's even a dishwasher. The eating bar doubles as additional counter space. Utilities hide behind folding doors in a passageway that opens to the rear.

A small two-section bathroom is accessible from both the owners' suite and the living room, allowing two people to use it at once in privacy. Another bathroom is upstairs near the bunk room, loft and storage area. If desired, the storage area on the right could be outfittedas another bunk room.

Outside, the railed deck echoes the V shape of the Chinook's window bay and provides a delightful setting for outdoor dining during the summer months.
