The Hochstetler Difference

Our log home packages are crafted with your comfort at the forefront. From precision milling to premium materials, see what sets us apart.  

Dried & Milled For An Airtight Seal

Enjoy a more comfortable home with logs that eliminate drafts, improve energy efficiency, and lower your heating and cooling costs.

After air drying our wall logs up to 9-24 months, they are kiln dried to perfection, then precisely milled to .01 of an inch for tighter seals. Our precision tongue-and-groove system, combined with gaskets and caulking creates an airtight seal, helping you enjoy significant energy savings.

Douglas Fir Post & Beam

Experience the strength and beauty of solid timber construction with true post and beam roof structures.

Unlike traditional rafters, our heavy timber roof systems are made from Douglas Fir to create a warm, inviting space to call home. We use Dense #1, Free of Heart Center structural timbers for exceptional strength and stability.

Super Insulated Roof Systems

Prevent heat loss that is common with conventional rafters and fiberglass insulation.

Our standard nailbase insulation panels, rated R-38, form a continuous barrier of eco-friendly non outgassing polystyrene foam.

Keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer with high-performance insulation that eliminates heat loss and improves energy efficiency.

Endless Customization

Whether you want to customize one of our floorplans or bring your own, we offer flexibility to match your vision. Additionally, you can choose from log species such as Eastern White Pine, White Cedar, or Cypress to suit your aesthetic preferences and site conditions.

Sustaining Nature for Future Generations

We believe in the conservation of our natural resources and utilization of nature's bounty to the fullest.

Our mill is dedicated to the restocking of trees, selective harvesting, and sound plantation practices. We carefully plan the cutting and milling of each timber so that the "heartwood" is used for logs and beams and the outer "shell" is used for siding and tongue-and-groove material. Planer shavings are used for livestock bedding.

In this way, we are utilizing 100% of each timber - and through our conservation efforts, providing a marketable resource for our children.

Built for Long-Term Value

Our homes are designed with durability and energy efficiency in mind. By focusing on high-quality materials and thoughtful design, we help you create a log home that performs well for decades.
