The landscaping leading up to this elegant Montana log home feels true to its environment and eye-catching at the same time. Container gardens of bright red paired with the American flag flying high make for a subtle, summery welcome. See more of this home here.

Talk about "sea to shining sea." This log home takes inspiration from cabins in California, though it's situated in scenic New Hampshire. See more of this home here.
Petite flags in a bright-red floral arrangement are all you need to make a statement. Though the red trim on this North Carolina log home doesn't hurt either! See more of this home here.
With its whimsical bunting, a crafty wreath, and the American flag hoisted up high, there's no mistaking this is THE cabin to be at for the Fourth. See more of this home here.

Quilts, a stars-and-stripes motif, and the perfect pairing of red, white, and blue with warm wood walls make this space perfectly nostalgic. Learn more about this space's smart use of storage here.
A Cabin With a Claim to History
At first glance, may notice this cabin is certainly charming, and suspect that it has a history of its own, but this cabin is in fact the oldest in America. And it was for sale last year! See more of this home here.
