Mountain Cabin
Quality timber for mountain cabin?
Hi, I'd love some help from anyone who knows much about various kinds of wood.
Just want to know what the best types are; the types that would be used in a luxurious mountain getaway cabin. Log Cabins in particular. What is an expensive wood to use for such cabins?
Oak is probably the best. Redwood is not as dense as oak, but it is naturally resistant to insect infestation and rot. All wood can be pressure treated to protect it against rot and insects. If you just want to spend the most money, use cedar and redwood. They are most expensive because they are not as available as many other types of wood. Ash, aspen, hickory and pine are much more plentiful trees.
Here is some helpful information on species of trees

Mountain Cabin Rental Makes the Holidays Simply Fun and Magical
The holidays are more pleasurable with everyone relaxing and having fun. So why not bring all the family to one destination? The Villas at Coosawattee in the Coosawattee River Resort is a perfect location for these holiday celebrations.
Located within The Coosawattee River Resort, The Villas at Coosawattee River Resort is the premier destination for North Georgia Cabins, mountain villa accommodations, and vacation rentals in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Georgia mountain resort is located in Gilmer County just a little over an hour north of Atlanta in the Blue Ridge Mountains and at the foothills of the legendary Appalachian Mountain Range.
The Villas have full kitchens, which are optimal if several people are cooking for the holidays. The kitchen has plenty of room for multiple cooks especially when baking cookies with the little ones. Is a hot tub essential? The Villas has hot tub units available—wonderful way to ring in the New Year! And in regard to keeping the kids entertained, the Recreation Center has a game room, complete with arcade games and more. The Recreation Center also features WiFi and large screen television for guest entertainment pleasure.
The Villas' Recreation Center, six river parks, and Coosawattee Library give The Villas' guest plenty of amenities to enjoy and explore. The Recreation Center features an indoor heated pool, full fitness facility, miniature golf, tennis courts, and more. The six river parks have varying features such as fishing, play-grounds, and fire rings perfect for s'mores! Don't forget your graham crackers, chocolate bars, and marshmallows. If you need a book to read while relaxing, the Coosawattee Library may have just what you are looking for.
Does your party have special needs? If you want to bring your dog, various units are pet-friendly. Please inquire about conditions. Additionally, dogs have the run of their very own dog park located next to the Teen Center. Keep in mind that some of the units are two stories so if a family member cannot climb stairs, request a single level unit. All parking is just outside the respective unit.
The Villas features all of the necessary bedding, dishes, and kitchen equipment, but you may want to bring a roasting pan for the turkey and baking sheets for that special holiday baked treats. Take a day to cut your own Christmas tree at one of the many Christmas tree farms in the North Georgia Mountains, such as Lowery's Tree Farm, Whisenant Mountain Farm, and Jones Tree Farm but make sure to bring ornaments, stockings, and decorations. Consider making some pine cone and greenery decorations collected from a wintry walk. And with New Years Eve, picking up some party hats, blowers, and sparklers will help to ring in the New Year.
Make your holidays not only fun and magical ... make them also relaxing. Have family and friends meet at a destination, a mountain resort, and let those good times roll. A good old fashion holiday is right there, over the river and through the woods!
