The Acorn & Leaf Podcast | by Gastineau Log Homes
Welcome to our ACORN & LEAF podcast. Tune in as we dive headfirst into the wonderfully woodsy world of log homes!
If you've ever found yourself daydreaming about the smell of fresh timber, the crackle of a cozy fire, or whipping up a meal that just tastes better because, well, you're in a log cabin—then you’re in the right place.
Each episode, Lynn & others will cover everything from the art of choosing the perfect wood to creating that cabin atmosphere that makes you feel like a lumberjack-turned-gourmet-chef.
Whether you’re here for the design tips, the outdoorsy vibes, or just an excuse to romanticize life in the woods, Acorn & Leaf has you covered. Pull on those flannels, kick back, and join us as we explore what makes log home living… unforgettable.
