The owners of this log home met the challenge of building on a sloped site. They have stunning views of the woods from the front porch and wrap-around deck. The garden was raised using stones unearthed during excavation and filled in with native plants, giving it a completely natural appearance.

Beautiful stonework calls attention to the front door of this home and continues on to the chimney. The arch of the door matches the window on the left with its log windowbox filled with flowers. The intricate rooflines are enhanced by the protruding logs in this handcrafted log home.

This sweet log home is bursting with color that contrasts beautifully with the dark chinked logs. The curve of the red metal roof and angle of the three dormers give the home European style. The mailbox cleverly mimics the logs and colors of the home.
