A traditional one didn't, but you can build a modern one and put a foundation under it.

Traditionally, they would just put the heaviest logs on the bottom, just lying on the ground. Preferably made of a more decay resistant log, like white oak. Then you could have a simple dirt floor, or hang floor joists from that first set of heavy logs and have a wooden floor a step up from the ground outside.
