| "Cutting corners and hurrying the process doesn't make any sense once you decide you want a log home," says Dave Abbott, the proud owner of this spectacular Douglas fir home in Idaho. "Take the time to do it right, make sure your builder is really on board, and watch everything come together." |

| The warm living room highlights the Dears' love of Texas with a neon Red Pegasus above the mantel. The room's focal point is a gorgeous wood-burning fireplace covered in natural river rock. A wooden armoire conceals the television. |
 |
| "We wanted to do something that had a bit of a Western feel to it," says Dave of his decision to build a home almost entirely from handcrafted logs. "We have some pretty massive pieces of wood in here." |
 |
| "For people considering a log home, finding a competent, reputable builder is job number one," says Dave, who gives credit for his breathtaking Idaho home to PrecisionCraft Log & Timber Homes, its design team and builder Kurt Mitchell. |
 |
| "We put a hand-scraped white-oak floor in the kitchen and on the whole first floor," says Dave, who chose the material both for its beauty and its ability to endure wear and tear from his two playful golden retrievers. |
 |
| Log company PrecisionCraft Log & Timber Homes' floorplan was flexible enough to accommodate the Montana moss rock hearth in the master bedroom. |
 |
| A gracious tub overlooking the pastoral Idaho wilderness is an ideal spot for relaxing after a long day spent hiking, fly-fishing or skiing. |
 |
| Floor-to-ceiling windows usher in breathtaking mountain vistas to the great room. |
