Stucco vs Log vs ??

In the next five years I think it is highly likely that River Ghost Ranch will have a "cabin" with comforts. Question I have is what kind of exterior finish will be as maintenance free or low maintenance as possible and still have a nice "rustic" ranch/lodge look.
The current cabin 12 x 16 feet has vinyl siding which requires ZERO upkeep. But, it looks a little "modern".
How does stucco stand up over years of temperatures going from -40 to +100 degrees F?
I like the look of it and I have heard that log finishes need "treatment" nearly every year or so.
Your observations or experience would be appreciated. Thanks.

when I was growing up in San Francisco, our house was stucco, and except for the cracks from earthquakes, it was about like any other house, just painting every ten years or so.
Presently we live in a house with 1x12 cedar siding. It's nearly 40 years old, but gets the same deal, painting about every ten years. that seems to be the standard.
Second choice, there is a "siding" you can get, that looks like river rock. Don't think it ever needs anything.
The gene pool needs chlorine.
