Set on 11 peaceful acres near Wooster, Ohio, Joe and Kris Sokol’s log home is a retreat that feels like a permanent vacation. Inspired by a timber-framed cottage in Michigan and designed with help from Hochstetler Log Homes, their dream home features 8x12 hand-hewn square logs, dovetail corners, and soaring timbered ceilings. With no drywall in sight, the interior is rich in warmth and character, blending hickory cabinetry, antique furnishings, and repurposed treasures. Outside, a stocked pond, vegetable garden, and chicken coop complete the rustic lifestyle, making every day feel like a getaway.
