timber houses
Log cabin homes
Houses built primarily with wooden structural frames and components.
The term emphasizes construction method rather than mere wood siding—timber houses use heavy wooden beams and posts as their skeleton: The mountain resort featured rustic timber houses with exposed beams.
Common in forested regions where wood is abundant and in traditional architectural styles like Tudor or log cabin construction.
