Falling Waters Cabin
Falling Waters Cabin exemplifies modern rustic at its best. This cabin is a blend of our square log with dovetail corners and synthetic siding and trim to provide a mountain retreat home that is as good looking as it is easy to maintain. The mix of architectural shingles and galvanized metal on the roof provide texture and contrast. The blue accents compliment the cool and warm gray colors of this cabin which mimic the North Georgia Mountains.
Upon entering your eye is drawn to the living porch fireplace which is on the opposite end of the cabin. This long sight line is enhanced by the architectural detail of the paneled walls, art alcove and built-in bench and shelves. The Hemlock tree trunks at 28 feet tall support the timber frame details of the ceiling as well as the open loft which functions as a studio space for art projects.
The Perfect Retreat
The open plan of the great room, kitchen and dining nook keeps everyone in on the conversation. The main level also features the master bedroom and bath and has an additional bedroom and bath for guests that may need to be accommodated on the first floor as well. The second level loft overlooks the entrance hall and the great room. Additionally, a third bedroom and bath provides more room for family and friends. The outdoor living space is just as relaxing as the inside with a fireplace and built in television. This has become the family favorite place to hang even in cold weather. Just light the fire and snuggle under blankets. At just over 2100 square feet this cabin lives larger than it is.
Dedicated to their craft. The team at Modern Rustic was very creative as well as being open to our vision of the project. The finished home is absolutely stunning both in design and quality of construction. I would highly recommend the team at Modern Rustic Homes for any custom build.

Blue Ridge Log Home,
This article features the log cabin retreat of Scott and Regan Holroyd, a busy family of young professionals from Marietta, Georgia, who needed a place to “unplug and unwind”.
Design Highlights
Exterior Charm: The home embodies mountain cabin charm with a steeply pitched roofline, square dovetailed logs, and cedar-shake accents.
Interior Elegance: Inside, it is the epitome of modern rustic elegance. The design goal was to create a space that felt “completely opposite” from their suburban weekday home.
Key Materials: Five species of wood were used, including hemlock and white pine, and the stain features gray undertones that complement the stonework and provide a stark contrast to typical honey-toned choices.
Standout Features:
The living room features modern influences, a “must-have” floating staircase, and a central hemlock post. The kitchen is a “two-butt kitchen” with a wide, 5-foot span between the island and the sink to accommodate several cooks.
The master bath is “distinctly feminine,” featuring a clawfoot tub and a crystal chandelier.
The Getaway Location: The cabin is located in the Blue Ridge mountains, just 52 miles (about an hour) from their main home, allowing them to use it often—three out of four weekends each month.
Space Management: To maximize the gathering space within the home’s small footprint, the square footage of the bedrooms was intentionally reduced, including the master.
Home Details
Square Footage: 1,395 (main level) + 707 (second level) + 668 (porches). Beds/Baths: 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Designer/Provider: Modern Rustic Homes.
