The couple visited a Summit Log and Timber Homes log home in the same area they were planning to build, and they absolutely loved the floor plan so much that they decided to create their floor plan based off of that one. Their log home ended up with four bedrooms and three bathrooms as well as a garage with a large room for games.

The walls are finished using a Venetian finish for a more contemporary look than log walls. They also added granite counters and slate floors which complement the other finishes perfectly.

The couple also requested that the log home have plenty of natural light in it. So they installed plenty of windows throughout the home to bring in the light and to show off the beautiful surrounding views.

The dining room is connected to the living room area to create a continuous flow throughout the home, and the kitchen is nearby as well. For an artistic touch, they found an artist who took aspen leaves and trunks and made them into acrylic panels with LED lighting around the edges for a really magical effect.

These panels also act to divide the kitchen from the dining room as well, so it's very functional art. If the views weren't great enough already, on the upper floor are the two bedrooms with balconies for even greater views of the property and area.
