Does anyone know what they are called, or/and
if there's a good place to see pics of such things
online?
a search on google for "sausalito houseboats"

The Tom Hanks character's home in "Sleepless in Seattle" was a floating
house...and there are also a number of 'em in FL...not on logs, but
supported by what amounts to floating docks. Key West is famous for
them. Most of the coastal ones are quite nice. But there are also
communities of them--some quite nice, some floating slums that make
trailer parks upscale in comparison, many in between--on inland rivers
and lakes all over the country...most of which are thorns in the sides
of the states they're in for a variety of reasons.
