Cedar logs are very nice. Maintenance isn't as bad as some make it--almost like caring for a deck--use quality finishes and products. There are a ton of variables with log homes--log type, (if a kit--quality of kit), what type of appearance are you going for--natural, stained, painted, etc. A lot of log homes do NOT have any ductwork and use base board heat. Pests are an issue around here it is wood bees. They bore a perfect circle into the wood--mainly soffit, make a 90 degree turn and lay their larvae, then woodpeckers come and try to get the larvae out. Metal flashing helps minimize this.
