Luxury log home with style-serene mountain living at it's finest!

Angel House is not your usual log home. It was built with the care and attention to detail that only a custom log home builder and his artist wife might choose for themselves. They built it with their own hands and they wish to share it with those who would like to experience life in the woods AND a bit of luxury. It was featured in Log Home Living Magazine in May 2010, and in STUDIOS Magazine in Summer 2013.
