The 32 log home companies—both manufacturers and handcrafters—listed in this directory are advertisers in this issue. The companies are given the opportunity to write their own listings, which allows readers to make comparative judgments based on the producers’ own words. (We do reserve the right to edit listings and challenge any claims made.)
It isn’t possible to guarantee that all log home producers listed are quality companies that will always satisfy customers. We do, however, reserve the right to refuse to list companies with histories of consumer complaints.
We also encourage you to contact us with unsatisfactory experiences you’ve had with log home companies.

Company Information
Appalachian Log Homes Inc. specializes in the manufacturing and building of custom log homes, hybrid homes, and timber frame homes. Because of our long history, our company’s authorized log home erection crews are among the best in the industry. Whether you are interested in a custom luxury log dream home or a rustic design, which includes barn beams, character logs, or other rustic elements for contemporary living, the design possibilities offered by Appalachian Log Homes are limitless.
Each Appalachian Log Home is built to be energy efficient and backed with a 10-year warranty against structural defects. Our quality begins with our timbers, milled from heartwood of mature Hemlock, Spruce and Fir trees. These timbers are inspected and stress graded for structural integrity by Timber Products Inspection Inc. Our logs are squared and hand-hewn to give the appearance of our traditional Appalachian dovetail style. Appalachian Log Homes are designed to allow for log movement and/or settling.
We also offer the Paneloc® system which is designed for fast and effective onsite installation of dormers, additions and gable-end walls. This system is super energy efficient and is an excellent alternative to typical stud walls with fiberglass insulation. Our log siding has full-width dovetail corners. The 6-by-12-inch style extended dovetail corner is available with 1-by-12-inch or 2-by-12-inch siding. Our standard finishes are hand-hewn, machine-hewn, and planed-smooth.
We are also proud to introduce our new Rustic log system. Capitalizing on the popularity of our famous Traditional log style, we are offering new 2-inch and 4-inch chink widths. By using a special handcrafting tool we’ve added a hand-scribed bevel to each long side of the logs. The result is a truly authentic, early American look.
Appalachian Log Homes are marketed factory direct or through a network of independent representatives. Whether you select from existing plans or let our team of experts help you create a totally custom home, we will work with you step-by-step to build the log home of your dreams. Call us today to start turning your log home dreams into reality. Dealer inquiries are welcome. We are members of the National Log Homes Council and the National Association of Home Builders.
