The Winners of the 2023 Best Log Homes Contest

If this home looks familiar, it's because it was featured for the past year in our Dirt to Done series! It was a labor of love, with unique features such as a detached barn for the owner's car collection, a stone-veneer chimney rising 40 feet tall and plenty of entertaining space.

This home had its interior finished by the homeowners themselves, and they built many of the architectual features of it. The owners added an extra log course to increase the height, and the garage is connected by a breezeway with laundry for increased accessibility.
