Essentially this idea for the dug out, shored up benches around the sides. Benches wide enough to sleep at least two on each section. Maybe have one section dedicated as a kitchen area with higher food prep surface and possibly a window to catch the morning sun. A gable over one side, to be used as a second entrance incase a bear decides to camp out by the other. Maybe just turn roof hole into an alternative exit and rig up a cap for the hole for when fire isn't in use.
I like the hexagon because it's not a square and not a circle, you get to extra walls to work with that aren't curved and it seems that shorter pieces of material can be used. Not a big deal with conventional dimensional lumber or sheets, but with logs, it's and easing thought to have this option rather than hauling into place even larger logs..
