The design of your bathroom in a stack log home has some special considerations. In your typical five feet by eight feet bathroom, the tub/shower fixture usually goes against the outside wall. There are other ways of arranging the layout, but this is the one that will have the most impact on the logs themselves.
 
In a stick frame home this is not a big issue. Waterproof the wall with the proper materials. If there is a window in the wall, make sure it is tight and caulked. Maintaining the integrity of the seal will prevent water from getting into the wood behind the finish, which is your main concern. A stack log wall is solid, the individual logs are round and the wall settles. Where your frame walls meet the log walls there will be slots to tuck the drywall into for a nice clean line. These factors do make keeping the water out a challenge.
