The difference is in the type of wood used in the construction; log cabins tend to have walls made of actual logs, whereas pine lodges use sheets of timber.

Modern lodges are attractive, spacious and contain all the features of a standard holiday home, albeit mostly surrounded by wood. Luxury lodges are in a class of their own, they may have vaulted ceilings, power showers and Jacuzzi baths in full-size bathrooms. Kitchens contain the usual domestic appliances, the only difference is that the walls are made of pine boards. Floors in the wet areas of kitchens and bathrooms are usually tiled. They may well be wooden boards throughout the property elsewhere.  Add high quality soft furnishings, lamps and a wood burner for an attractive place to stay for a week or a short break in Shropshire.
