The Howard Summer Cabin

July 8th, 2010

The Howard’s summer cabin is a custom design by Big Fish Drafting and Montana Log Homes. The sloping site lends itself perfectly for the full walk out basement. The main floor plan is very open and was designed to allow every room spectacular views of the lake. This post will be updated weekly, so check back to watch our logsmiths transform raw logs into this wonderful summer cabin. {CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE}

Fryman Log Cabin

July 8th, 2010

Annette and Doug Fryman are fulfilling their almost decade long dream of building a handcrafted log cabin on their mountain property in Florissant, Colorado. This 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home is designed to accommodate family and friends and is complete with a bunkroom for their 7 grandchildren. Their post will be updated weekly over the next several weeks as Montana Log Homes’ log smiths scribe fit each log before transporting the shell to Colorado. {CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE}
