Are log homes warm?

I love the look of a log cabin, they look amazing inside. My wife thinks if its -30c outside, that the cold will seep through the wood to the inside. Anyone here live in a log cabin?

And a standard home in the US is made of 2x4s and plywood.

Building a timber farm home that will five times the insulted value of a standard home, and I lived in a 1800's log home with a wood stove that was the warmest home I ever lived in.

The thicker the timber logs the higher your insulation R value as well.

Heck rent a RBNB one yourself in a cold environment and test it yourself maybe you could give the wifey your log while staying there by the fire! Hey!
