Benefits of Handcrafting
Human touch - You get real people
who have the rare combination of artistic
talent and professional expertise. With honor
and integrity, your Pioneer Log Homes team
can look you in the eye and know they created
an outstanding building especially for you
with their own hands.
Environmentally sound - Because we value nature,
we will not strip the land of environmentally
vital tree covering. We use responsible, sustainable
harvesting practices that utilize standing
dead timber. The added benefit is this also
affords minimal water content and minimal
shrinkage, ensuring the best, tightest log
fit in the finished structure.
Energy efficient - Each log has been stripped of its
bark by hand with joints that are hand crafted.
The natural thermal mass qualities of solid wood can
allow for ecologically-sustainable building construction,
and also assures you of the wonderful effect of a truly hand
crafted product.

Quality
detail - As a matter of pride and
integrity, we follow rigid nationally recognized
standards, use only the best quality wood
and “sweat the small stuff". Every
detail counts! For instance, logs are processed
by hand and their true moisture content is
carefully monitored. If needed, they are dried
even further to meet exacting moisture standards,
which helps create the largest raw log inventory
of any other hand crafted company.
Professional standards -
Pioneer Log Homes has extensive engineering
and design experience, and we meet or exceed
each state's and county's requirements. We
associate ourselves with only the finest
professional architects and builders who
are as dedicated to exceeding your expectations
as we are, whether you are building a cabin
in the woods, a luxury log estate or a remarkable
commercial structure.
Timeliness
and Budget - Our commitment to the
timeline means that when we submit an estimated
date of completion, you can confidently make
plans with your builder, interior designer
and landscaper. Furthermore, our respect for
you means every dollar is monitored so there
are no financial surprises and your budget
is maintained.
Reputation
and Satisfaction - It's not just
your home or your commercial structure - it's
your trust in Pioneer Log Homes. Contact

others are saying about our quality, beauty

From The Land Report magazine,
September 2007: "I hooked up with Pioneer
Log Homes. They're so wonderful," she
says. "...They were really great with
me because I really was the architect. I
mean, they had an official architect, a
legitimate one to actually draw up the final
plans, but I would send pictures. I would
take pen and paper, and I would draw what
I wanted." -- comments from Jill
Rappaport, NBC television news personality
From Architecture & Design West,
Spring 2002: "...carefully selected
logs were hand-stripped, and then handcrafted
to custom specifications. The log home was
first assembled in Montana, before being
reassembled in Bachelor Gulch, along with
the finishing touches of area builders George
Sanders and Rick Hermes." --- regarding
the showplace home of Bachelor Gulch Village,
Colorado, developer Jim Thompson
From Vacation Log Homes, Spring
2004: "These were clients who had a
vision, but were flexible and capable of
making decisions quickly, teamed with talented
professionals who had the kind of backgrounds
that could make it all happen with minimal
issues. In fact, all rave about what a fabulous
project it was to work on." --- about
the Foster’s vacation and retirement
home in Montana, and the experience of working
with Pioneer Log Homes, Kibo Group Architecture,
and Yellowstone Custom Country Homes
From Log Home Living, May 1998:
"Vail architect Gordon Pierce says
he was not out to make a personal statement
on this project. 'I've always felt these
buildings should almost look more like they
were done by a craftsman and loggers than
by an architect,' he says. The lodge is
proud, he says, but never pretentious. And
the standout feature is the logs –
more than 500 in all, some as long as 45
feet – produced by Pioneer Log Homes
of Victor, Montana." --- describing
Seven Lakes Lodge in Meeker, Colorado
From Montana Living, Fall 2004:
"Hand-hewn logs from Pioneer Log Homes
in Victor surround the home with a warmth
and feeling that only logs can bring."
... "For general contractor Jim Purdy,
building a log home was something he'd never
done before. But by enlisting the help of
a designer at Pioneer Log Homes, Purdy and
Craft worked together to create the home,
start to finish. 'I like the hand hewn logs,'
Purdy says. 'They come ready to put together,
and they make you look like a hero.'"

the Craft family, and the contractor’s
view of building a log home from Pioneer
