"TC" is spot on: control the moisture, and you control the fate of wood.
Best approach (for ’scratch’ building) is high ground clearance with block footings/foundation (well above the normal snow heights) and extended roof overhang & runoff control.
For my hand build/modular "D" log home, I used a home made exterior ‘paint’ of boiled linseed oil + burnt Umber + paraffin wax.
The wax is the water repellent aspect.
So far only the East & West ends have needed re-application; done 1X in 25 years.
Cost varies of course, but estimate $25/gal.

Of all the factors that contribute to wood destruction (i.e., sunlight, temperature, moisture, and insects), moisture is the most significant because without moisture the other elements are rendered inconsequential.
There are many products on the market to control or moisture proof wood ….I could suggest some…… but I really think the wisest thing would be to call any log home mfg and ask them what they recommend
