Famous and historic people with log cabins

With the rise in popularity of log cabins, more and more famous people and celebrities are purchasing these structures. Many well-known people use these buildings in out-of-the-way places to escape the limelight and to enjoy some peace and quiet, usually in the countryside; most have luxurious designs and interiors. Perhaps some of the most famous of these people include Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates. 

The iconic boxer Muhammad Ali, in his heyday, not only commissioned a log cabin for himself and his family, but also one for his parents close by. These became the perfect private retreats for the famous sportsman. Designers like Ralph Lauren have always taken inspiration for his archetypal clothing and homeware from traditional bespoke log cabins, which he loves. More luxurious log cabins and bbq huts have been owned by the likes of Tom Cruise, who originally intended for his cabin to be a retreat for his family away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood life.

There have also been several British celebrities who have owned and lived in log cabins too. Queen Elizabeth II had her cabin built on her much-loved Balmoral Estate, while Paul McCartney has a cabin located in East Sussex. For the same reasons as others, these icons have the desire to own a property which is both beautiful and peaceful, and that helps them enjoy some quiet time.
