Half log siding transforms basic guest cottages into charming retreats with rustic character. The natural wood grain and rounded profile give even small buildings a handcrafted, welcoming feel. Choose wood for authenticity or steel for durability and ease of upkeep. Match it with complementary trim, shutters, and a wood deck to enhance curb appeal. Whether for in-laws, guests, or short-term rentals, a cottage clad in half log siding looks high-end and inviting. Add outdoor features like a firepit or garden to complete the setting. This simple upgrade makes your guest space feel like a private cabin getaway.
