British Columbia is home to some of the most beautiful forests in the world. These forests are not just scenic—they are also a key part of Canada’s efforts to fight climate change. One way people are helping the planet is by building log homes. You might be surprised to learn that log homes can actually leave a smaller carbon footprint than many modern houses.
DetailsEvery log has a story. You can see it in the lines, knots, and curves that run across its surface. At Cascade Handcrafted, we call these natural features timber tattoos. They are the marks left behind by time, weather, and growth—and they make each log one-of-a-kind.
Some logs have deep grooves where branches once grew. Others show scars from wind, snow, or even lightning. These marks are not flaws. They are signs of strength. They show how the tree stood tall through seasons of change.
DetailsWhen it comes to building a log home, design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about harmony with nature. The placement, orientation, and structure of your home can dramatically influence how it feels, functions, and connects with its surroundings. It’s about crafting a space that breathes with the land, responds to the seasons, and enhances the natural beauty around it.
DetailsWhen it comes to building a home that’s both timeless and tailored, few options rival the beauty and durability of a handcrafted log home. At Cascade Handcrafted, every log is selected, shaped, and placed with precision—creating homes that are as structurally sound as they are visually breathtaking.
DetailsEvery Tuesday, we celebrate the soul of our homes—timber. At Cascade Handcrafted Log Homes, wood isn’t just a building material. It’s history, warmth, and strength that lasts generations. So today, let’s take a closer look at how our timber tells a story—from forest floor to your family’s front door.
DetailsWhen it comes to building a dream log home that blends rustic charm with modern craftsmanship, Cascade Handcrafted stands out—and so does their material of choice: Western Red Cedar. Locally sourced and naturally stunning, this timber isn’t just abundant in British Columbia; it’s the heart of why Cascade homes feel timeless, durable, and uniquely Pacific Northwest.
DetailsIn an age where sustainability meets style, the charm of log homes and cabins is experiencing a renaissance—this time with a twist. Enter the world of log homes built with repurposed wood: a beautiful blend of history, craftsmanship, and eco-conscious living.
DetailsIf you’re dreaming of a cozy log home nestled in the woods or by a lake, here’s some good news: when you buy a log home from Canada and ship it to the U.S., you won’t pay any tariffs. That’s right—no surprise fees at the border. But why is that?
DetailsBritish Columbia is home to some of the most breathtaking forests in the world, with Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir standing as two of its most iconic tree species. These forests provide clean air, wildlife habitats, and economic benefits, making their sustainability a priority for conservation efforts.
DetailsThere’s something truly special about a handcrafted timber frame home, and at the heart of its beauty lies the majestic Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir timbers. These stunning woods are not just structural elements; they define the character, durability, and warmth of every Cascade Handcrafted creation.
