Log and timber frame home construction is a part of the heritage of Western North Carolina. The region is home to some of the finest custom craftsmen and builders in the nation. Many of these craftsmen have learned their trade at the feet of generations of artisans.  These distinctive wood homes were first brought to the region by European settlers and were the home construction of choice for many years. Many old cabins still standing after centuries attest to their longevity. They were later popular as rustic vacation getaways and today nine out of ten log and timber frame homes are used as primary residences.
