| Large upper windows bring natural light into the home's U-shaped kitchen. |

 |
| The dining area looks out on the deck. |

 |
| A trophy elk, given to the Arndts by a friend, watches over the comfy living room. Maintaining the feel of a cozy cabin and having the features of a luxury home was one of the Arndts' goals. |

 |
| The black U-straps on the trusses add to the home's rustic look. |
|
|
 |
| The master bedroom maintains the woodsy look, with red bedding that reflects the home's red pine logs. |
|
|
 |
| The master bath features a whirlpool bath with a view of the woods. |

|
 |
| A piano adorns this guest bedroom. |
|
|
 |
| Matching twin-size beds—complete with country-style quilts—create additional sleeping accommodations in one of the upper-level bedrooms. |

 |
| A leather couch and a bookshelf anchor the upstairs loft, which is used as an office. |
|
|
 |
| Visitors drive up to the wraparound porch. |

 |
| Red timberline shingles complement the red pine logs on the exterior. |
|
|
 |
| The garage, adjacent to the house, is a half-log structure that matches the main house. |
|
|
 |
| Outside the garage is a sitting and barbecue area where the family enjoys summer evenings. |
