After a day of winding it up in the working world, it is pure comfort to walk into our home and the smell of pine logs. It is a calming sense and winds you down. The look of the logs are stunning as the eye takes in the linear lines softened by the curvature of the logs that have been planed so beautifully to catch the gentle reflection of light. The satiny, smooth feel of the logs invites the touch. Our little grandson loves to give the vertical log in the kitchen a "hug" and the smile it creates across his face is wonderful! The windows are elegantly designed, and let in so much light throughout the many dark and rainy days in the Pacific Northwest. Everyone who comes to our home comments on the beauty, design, and warm feeling they get when they visit.
Our home consultant at Wisconsin Log Homes, Steve Lindstrom, is considered not only a link to any questions, but also a friend. He helped design our home over the phone and internet and was always available for questions during the construction and beyond. We called him over a hundred times, and each time he was available with the information we needed. It is so satisfying to know we can depend on the quality and high standards Wisconsin Log Homes has adopted and proven over the years with the continued care of their customers.
After living in a home for ten years, many of us need to remodel or sell, and move on, but this is not the case with a Wisconsin Log Home. The beauty today is as strong as the day we moved in ten years ago which proves the quality and craftsmanship that has withstood the cold, wet Pacific Northwest weather that can ruin a home quickly. Our son, a civil engineer, helped us build the house and always jokes about the "big one" (earthquake), and our home. He says, "This home may tip over if a '9' comes, and that will only be from earth shifts below, but it is so solid it will never come apart!"
There is only one reason we would sell our Wisconsin Log Home, and that would be to build a smaller one for our retirement years!
Thank You Wisconsin Log Homes for the 10 years of living in the home of our dreams, and especially for the beauty it has maintained for a decade!

Wisconsin Log Homes Customer Testimonial
After reviewing several log home brochures, looking at their various designs, reading about their company histories and construction methods, and reading many testimonials, we were most impressed with Wisconsin Log Homes and chose them to design our new home.
From the start, our Wisconsin Log Homes representative was extremely upbeat, helpful and solicitous, and was able to answer all of our questions promptly and convincingly. We were repeatedly assured of complete satisfaction with the building process under Wisconsin Log Homes’ direction, and felt very confident that we had made the right choice.
Our representative at Wisconsin Log Homes recommended a local builder who had worked for them for many years on several projects. We chose him after receiving a much higher bid from another builder. Our builder has been outstanding in every way. He is meticulous, honest, very knowledgeable, and has helped us in many instances to add little touches to enhance the house design. All of the subcontractors have been excellent also. In short, we have had no problems, but just very “smooth sailing” with the entire process. The building is moving along according to schedule even with the harsh winter weather conditions we have been faced with.
All in all we are extremely happy with our choice of Wisconsin Log Homes and would highly recommend them to anyone who is planning to build.

Joe and I built the featured home on your web page in Tower, MN this summer on Lake Vermilion. We have to tell you that the home has exceeded our expectations in many ways. All of the construction people that we have worked with, or people in the trades that have viewed the “bones” of the house have told us how well built it is. In addition, the architectural design is so pleasing to look at and the quality of the materials is so much better than we have experienced with our current home.
I also wanted to share with you how much I have enjoyed being able to go to your website to look at all of the pictures of other homes. I have gotten a lot of ideas from these pictures. This has really enhanced the interior finishing for me. I’m going to go to the pictures before I leave your website to check out something else today! If our interior finishing turns out as well as we hope, we’ll take pictures so that you can add more ideas.
We really got a kick out of seeing our house in the featured homes pages too.
Your staff at Wisconsin Log Homes has wonderful ideas and are very good at what they do. Thank you for helping us make our dream home come true.

Wisconsin Log Homes Testimonial
Originally we had planned to build a timber frame home. We had gone as far as having a timber frame home designed. However, after seeing a picture of a Wisconsin Log Home that we really liked in a Log Home magazine, we decided to weigh the pros and cons of timber frame vs. Thermal-Log construction. We could achieve our top priorities of high energy efficiency and vaulted ceilings with massive beams with either timber frame or Wisconsin Log Homes construction techniques. We did cost estimates for building our home via timber frame and Wisconsin Log Homes and concluded that it would be less costly to build our home using Wisconsin Log Homes' package building system. We planned to use cedar siding for the exterior of the home. After receiving a sample of the custom made cedar siding from Wisconsin Log Homes, the decision was easy. The massive cedar siding is truly unique.
We were extremely pleased with Wisconsin Log Homes throughout the whole planning and building process. The process, from start to finish, went very smoothly. It started with Wisconsin Log Homes designers modifying the basic plan that we liked. The design team was very responsive to our requests and after numerous modifications, we had our plan. We received the cost estimate for the package in a timely manner which enabled us to make the decision to build our home. This started a well orchestrated process that was clearly spelled out in advance so that we knew what to expect at every step along the way.
Our home consultant at Wisconsin Log Homes was very helpful throughout the process including the design phase, the delivery of materials, and the building phase. He helped us find a quality builder and also helped to expedite the delivery of materials to meet the builder’s schedule. He interacted directly with our builder on questions during the building process.
We are very satisfied with our home and with Wisconsin Log Homes. The design of the home, the beautiful cedar siding, the massive beams with T&G vaulted ceilings turned our “Dream Home” into a reality.

I want to let you know what a "fan" we are of Wisconsin Log Homes. When we started to think about building a log home I did an extensive amount of research on different log home manufacturers. While there are several and many of them very reputable, in the end it was very obvious to us as to whom we wanted to build our log home - Wisconsin Log Homes. In the selection process we did a lot of reading in log home magazines, looking at house plans, internet research, etc. etc. etc. We also visited several log home manufacturers headquarters/plants along with talking with people who owned log homes from many manufacturers.
In choosing Wisconsin Log Homes, one key feature that you offer that really caught our attention was your "Thermal-Log Building System". We also felt that you offered several great house plans that met our needs as far as starting to customize our home to make it unique and what we wanted as far as our home. When we visited your home office in Green Bay we were first of all very welcomed by your entire staff. While they were most helpful in discussing the many various options available to us in log homes, at no time did we feel "pressured" to buy. We could also see the outstanding workmanship that your craftsmen do in putting the log home package together. The follow up that we received after our visit was exceptional getting answers to all questions that we had. Also, since building our home there have been a couple of times when we had to contact your headquarters, and again we were well received and got what we needed as a result of our call.
Shortly after the completion of our home we had been asked by a Log Home magazine to do an article on our home which we did. In doing the interview it was very easy to talk about the quality of our home, the compliments that we had received from people who visited us telling us how much they enjoyed being in our home, and how much we love living in our log home - all this due to the "product" that you provided for our local builder to construct. We also received what we felt was a tremendous compliment from a person on your staff who had seen the main photograph from the article and ended up putting it on their screen saver because they liked it so much. To say that we are proud of our home and enjoy living in it is an understatement. We love the quality of construction, the traffic flow, the unique features such as the kitchen island, to the cabinets, to the outside looks including the saddle-notch design, the windows, etc. The bottom line is that when it comes to building a log home, Wisconsin Log Homes is the "Best of the Best". You are the right people, with the right product. Our congratulations to all your employees who do so much and go the extra mile to putting out the best product in the log home industry.
Sincerely,

My wife has always had a dream of living in a log home out in the country and being able to be with our horses. Four years ago we bought almost 30 acres of land and since that time we had a road and bridge built to get into the property, and our barn was constructed for the horses while the pastures were fenced.
During this time we started looking for the right log home to build. We spent two years looking at many different log home companies. We visited sample show homes and even visited homes that were occupied by homeowners. We bought every log home magazine we could find, attended log home shows and searched the internet for log home companies. It was about 1 ½ years ago that we found Wisconsin Log Homes on the internet.
We talked to Ehren Graf, our representative with Wisconsin Log Homes and he walked us through the process. He was upfront with us about what this home would cost to build. As it turns out, he was right on the money. We started with an idea of the home we wanted to build with Ehren. We went through numerous revisions and finally decided on our home plan. Ehren was most helpful during this process and Wisconsin Log Homes’ planning department was superb in helping us design our dream home.
Construction started in March of this year and our home was completed in early November. Anytime we or our builder needed help or support, Ehren and Wisconsin Log Homes were there to provide what we needed. Things could not have gone more smoothly for us, and best of all, my wife and I are still married!!!
This is the third home we have built, and this construction went more smoothly than the other two. We could not be more pleased with the results of our new home. Our family and friends just rave about the quality of materials and the appearance of this home. Everyone assumes it is a traditionally built log home. They just cannot believe it was built like a traditional stick built home with logs applied on the outside and inside. That makes us feel great about our decision to build with Wisconsin Log Homes. Not only did we get the look of a true log home, but we get all the energy efficiency this type of construction affords.
It is great to finally be at home with our horses, dogs, and cats. My hunting trophies look right at home in this log home. Deer, elk, bear, and ducks adorn the walls and fireplaces. They look like they were meant to be there.
Thank you Ehren and Wisconsin Log Homes for making our dream come true.
Thanks again for everything.
Regards,
R&K Anderson

Wisconsin Log Homes Testimonial
Dear Wisconsin Log Homes,
We would like to say “Thank You” for a job well done. We love everything about our cabin, and know that we will have so many wonderful memories for us and our children for years to come.
We have always been very attracted to the natural look and feel of log homes. A friend of mine had recently purchased a full log cottage that had been built in the 1800’s. He just finished refurbishing the home, and it turned out beautifully. Our interest in log homes was rekindled. Around the same time, we had purchased our lakefront property in Door County. Our attention turned to finding someone to build our dream log home. That process led us to Wisconsin Log Homes.
Your Green Bay showroom was the first log home company we visited. In that first visit, we sat down with Thom, and he listened to our ideas attentively. He took our drawings, and turned them into a plan that fit our needs perfectly. Needless to say, we never made it to another showroom.
Once we had agreed to proceed with the project, things moved ahead very quickly and smoothly. At your recommendation, we chose WLH Builders to build our log home. His crew did a superb job. The home is as solid as a rock, and the details of the log work, both inside and out, are amazing. All our questions were answered and any concerns we had were always taken care of in a timely manner. We were amazed at how quickly and carefully our home was built. Ground breaking in November and finished by April, you can’t ask for anything better than that!!
Early in the process, we began working with your in house interior designer, Stephanie G. She was very receptive to our ideas, and worked very hard to help us find very unique pieces to decorate the inside of our cabin that suited our decorating style. She was most helpful and gave us the sense that we were always in control of how the home was going to look. Instead of “taking over” the project she was our guide, sharing her interior design skills with us so we got just the look we were after. She was awesome!
Thank you very much for making our log home dreams come true. We are 100% satisfied with every aspect of our new log home, and are confident that we will have many years of enjoyment to come. We would recommend Wisconsin Log Homes, and WLH Builders, to anyone. Thank you for a job well done, we love our home!
Sincerely,
The Hennigan Family
