Log Homes

Time and trends mean nothing to the perennial beauty of log homes. The most basic of construction, yet the most dynamic of structures, log homes are a favorite of those people who long for simple comfort and beautiful design.

Hand-crafted or milled logs of eastern white pine or other species are used with the utmost precision to create a home that uniquely fits your personality and lifestyle.

Hybrid Homes

A hybrid home utilizes conventional stick-built construction and some degree of timber-framing. The timber frame is employed in specific areas of the home where “the wow factor” is most desired, such as in the great room, kitchen and dining areas.

Using a combination of building techniques and structural or decorative elements, hybrid homes appeal to homeowners looking for the best of all worlds.

Timber Frame Homes

Timber frame homes feature large wooden beams visible throughout the interior which act as the structural skeleton of the home. The timbers are cut to fit together and connect with specialized joinery such as mortise-and-tennon connections fastened  with wooden pegs.

The timber frame serves the dual role of providing structure for the home as well as artistic beauty.

What Our Clients Say…

The building materials and precision-cut logs we received from Natural Element Homes were beautiful. We are continually amazed at the number of people who stop, take pictures or slowly drive by to admire our log home. The final product is truly exceptional. Natural Element Homes is indeed a first-class company.” 

Beginning with no more than an exterior photograph and hand-drawn floor plan, the professional team at Natural Element Homes worked with me to design a family cabin which previously existed only in my imagination. During construction, I was impressed with the quality of materials used and craftsmanship of subcontractors. I participated in even minute decisions at each step of the building process. My family and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. There is no substitute for the rustic ambiance of authentic timber-frame construction.” 

“Everyone who sees the Shoofly Cabin thinks it is awesome. It has been a great addition to our community and has helped us set the standard for other builders. The materials quality was first rate, and the customer service could not be better. Natural Element Homes makes the process of designing and building a true one-of-a-kind home much simpler. Thanks for everything!”

“The changes I requested in design were readily accomplished with true professionalism. The virtual reality program used by Natural Element Homes was very helpful. All of the materials supplied were of excellent quality and condition. My builder was pleased with the ease of assembling and the high quality of the products. My friends and family are amazed with the finished product, as am I. I only wish I had done this years ago.” 

“My experience with the product, design, and purchasing process provided/facilitated by Natural Element Homes was very positive. I am extremely pleased with the quality of my log home and the administrative process of purchasing the package and the construction. I now have the log home that I have dreamed of since high school.”
