This log home was built for Skymyst's "Christmas/Yule Log Cabin contest" for a newlywed couple. This was fun to build as it was my first time using the Christmas decor, first time building a log cabin, and first time using the snow effects (I don't play the seasons since I mainly build.)

Here was my entry:

Lakeside Delight is a dream come true log home for both Jimmy and his new wife Jan. When Jan accepted his marriage proposal, that was Jimmy’s dream come true and now he’s built the perfect dream home as a Christmas present to her.

Jimmy wanted their home to have a rustic feel to reflect the log home style and their outdoorsy lifestyle, so most rooms have log wall interiors. It has everything they could want and Jimmy had it all decked out for Christmas.

The main floor features a front porch, a large foyer, a spacious kitchen with breakfast bar that’s open to the dining room and great room, a separate pantry, a master suite, a full bathroom and a future nursery. The great room is 2 stories tall and has expansive views of their property and features a cozy stone fireplace and a unique plant shelf. Off the kitchen is a mudroom/laundry room with an easy access out to the garage. Outdoor deck spaces can be accessed from the dining room, great room and the master suite. A cozy and private covered hot tub is found on the deck outside the master bedroom.

The 2nd floor consists of a guest bedroom, a reading nook, a full bathroom and a loft area that’s open to the great room and dining room below. In the loft space is a computer desk, a cozy tv area and a chess game table. Off the loft there is also an outdoor balcony to relax on. And the best room on this floor is a hobby room Jimmy built for Jan to paint in. It features work space counters, an easel with art supplies with lots of windows for natural lighting.

Outdoors you’ll find these amenitie: a detached 2-car garage with a 2nd floor that Jimmy made into his magic room, a greenhouse for Jan, a rose garden, a 2-story barn with 2 horse stalls and a hangout space for Jimmy on the 2nd floor, a fenced horse pasture, a fishing pond and a beautiful rock pool.

Additional Notes (background on the house or anything else you wish to add): Jimmy thought of everything when he had their dream home built. He even included a nursery room which is close to the master bedroom for when they start their family. And when they expand their family they can convert the upstairs guest bedroom into another children’s bedroom. He made a special place at the end of the main floor hallway to display their pictures along with their wedding bouquet as a keepsake.
