The Log Cabin Fireplace...
Warming Hearts To This Day!
A log cabin fireplace was the heart -- and hearth -- of a log dwelling . . . the center around which virtually everything revolved. A primary source of heating and cooking for centuries. Though no longer employed in that capacity, it continues to warm our hearts to this very day!

One need only look at the exterior to see how some log cabins are anchored by massive stone chimneys. Whether gathering with friends around an outdoor fire when the weather is mild . . . . . . . or huddling with loved ones in front of a crackling fire during a winter snowfall . . . . . a warm and toasty hearth is as comforting today as it was centuries ago.

Images of another time, long ago, when life seemed so much simpler . . . . . dance in our minds. The aroma of a real wood fire permeates the air. Flickering flames and crackling embers beckon us to gather round and settle in for an evening of storytelling and merriment . . . . . . . or just relaxation and quiet enjoyment.
Few things are as warm and inviting as a cozy stone hearth in a log home or cabin. Whether a soaring two story design, such as the striking split face granite fireplace pictured at right from Wisconsin Log Homes . . . . . or something a bit less imposing, such as the following 2 stone hearth designs, the warmth of the wood and the rugged natural beauty of the stone create an intimacy that belies the overall size and massing of the design.
