Floor Plan Walkthrough
The living room sits at one end around a fireplace, with the dining area in the middle and the kitchen behind it. The kitchen has a peninsula bar with seating, a long run of counters and pantry cabinets by the hall, and a door to the back patio.
A hall separates the living space from the bedroom wing. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet, a linen cabinet and a master bath with a tub and shower. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a second full bath with a tub and shower. A laundry room, mechanical closet and coat closet line the hall, and the covered entry opens straight into it.
Porches, Decks and Outdoor Living
The 114 sq ft patio sits off the kitchen at the back of the house, and the 63 sq ft covered entry shelters the front door.
Where the Pioneer Fits Best
The Pioneer suits families who need three real bedrooms on one floor, and owners who want a full-time log home with simple heating, a single roofline and no stairs.
Its rectangular footprint is one of the most efficient log shells to set, and it fits standard residential lots as well as larger acreage.
With three bedrooms and two baths on one level, it also works as a rental cabin or a shared family place where grandparents never have to climb a stair.

What’s Included in the Pioneer Log Cabin Kit
Every Pioneer log cabin kit starts as a hand-crafted log package from our yard in Montrose, Colorado: hand-peeled full round logs for the walls and roof structure, plus log bucks for doors and windows, log stairs and railings. The logs are scribed, notched and pre-fit in the yard, numbered, and shipped to your building site anywhere in the U.S. Construction times run 1 to 13 weeks depending on the size of the kit. See the full package on our log cabin kits page.
Want more than the log package? A dry-in package makes the shell weather-tight, and a turn-key build puts Frontier Log Homes in charge of the whole project. Building departments review log walls against ICC 400, the national standard for log structures, so plan for engineering on every site.
