From Forest to Forever

Every 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.

The journey starts deep with British Columbia’s Western Red cedar and Douglas Fir forests. Our expert team carefully selects sustainably harvested logs that have character—and backbone. We don’t rush this step. Each tree is chosen for its unique features: tight grain, knot placement, natural taper, and log flares. Why? Because nature does the best design work.

Unlike mass-produced homes, every Cascade Handcrafted Log Home is shaped by skilled craftspeople who know how to read wood like a book. From peeling the bark to scribing corners, it’s all done by hand. That means your home is full of care, not just pre-fabricated construction.

We believe your home should feel alive. The scent of cedar, the texture of hand-hewn Douglas fir, the warmth that radiates from full logs—it’s something you can’t get with drywall and vinyl. Our homes are built to breathe, shift, and settle naturally with the seasons. That’s what makes them feel truly grounded.

Want to keep your log home looking great year-round? Brush off pollen and dust in the spring using a soft bristle broom. It helps the wood breathe—and lets its natural oils shine through. Think of it as a little spa day for your home.
