Log homes are as much a part of American history as the pursuit of happiness and a love of freedom. The Fergusons, a family in rural Pa., turned to Ward Cedar Log Homes to find the perfect home for their needs. As a family that regularly engages in activities such as "gardening, collecting Americana, hunting for antique décor items, including a wood stove-cum-floor lamp, or tinkering with a classic 1954 Ford tractor," the Darlington provides the patriotic backdrop for their busy lives.
According to the company's website, the Fergusons' stunning abode is constructed from Northern White Cedar logs milled from the heartwood and spruce purlins. The home is perched on a 15-acre property with both fields and forest surrounding it. Let's take a peek inside.

The great room lives up to its name — thanks in no small part to the spectacularly high cathedral ceiling and open layout. The stone fireplace in the center further emphasizes the height of the ceiling while giving the space some warmth.
The windows add brightness and openness.
The rustic kitchen is an absolute dream for culinary mavens who prefer a homey atmosphere as they whip up their creations.

The master bedroom opens to a private balcony, allowing you to observe the glory of the landspace with an unobstructed view.
