Log Home Living

Dancing Ridge. Editors' Pick. Why We Love It:

When attention to detail is this precise and all encompassing, we can't help but notice. As expansive as the skylights that span the roof's ridgeline to the minutae of pinecone art embedded in the hearth facade, not a single inch of this home is ignored. The result is an inspired space that's easy to love.

Hooked On Logs.

Views, Openness and Covered Outdoor Space Enlarge A Colorado Cabin

The ambience is casual, yet the level of detail is captivating- the log pillars and windows form a graceful alcove. Daylight floods from two sides of the room and creates the effect of indoor-outdoor living.

“This is a wonderful, quiet little getaway house for us, away from our very busy lives in the East.”

"Shakered Not Stirred"

"The Rustic Elegance of Log Home Living"

Logs used are harvested from dead standing timber, trees that are still upright with no rot and good structural integrity. We are not cutting down living forests, but recycling a product that nature has already finished with.

Log home living offers a new brand of chic - a rustic elegance - to those who seek the unique lifestyle that log homes provide.
