Before you go out and buy a log cabin kit there are a few things which you need to think about in order to make the right choice.

If you can keep the size and number of rooms down as this will also help to keep your costs down. Plus keeping the size down also will help in the future with saving on the costs of heating, furnishing and maintaining the cabin.
