✔ Tailored to Your Vision
Your dream home, your way. Customize one of our floor plans or work closely with our design team to create a custom log home that reflects your style. Imagine a spacious kitchen perfect for family gatherings, a cozy reading nook by the fireplace, or a master suite with breathtaking views – the possibilities are endless.

✔ Energy Efficiency
Crafted with sustainably sourced Northern White Cedar, your log home is not only beautiful but also energy-efficient. Enjoy natural warmth while saving on heating and cooling costs, and reduce your carbon footprint. Cedar has the one of the highest R-Values in the wood species. Another thing to take into consideration is the thermal mass of the log where the log stores heat as you heat your home and radiates it back out into the living space.

✔ Low Maintenance, High Enjoyment
Cedar’s natural resistance to rot, aging, and insects means less maintenance and more time enjoying your home and family. Our designs are built for longevity, so you can focus on creating memories, not upkeep.

✔ Superior Quality Construction
Experience the difference in our precise, meticulous construction. Our homes offer a tight, lasting fit that protects you from the elements and provides peace of mind. With the dado-cut and exterior caulking groove, you are getting one of the best log systems available. Explore why log home joinery is crucial for lasting quality and timeless charm.

Our log homes are crafted with dado end joints, where each log is precision-cut to overlap with the next. This design creates a more efficient, tighter fit, enhancing the energy efficiency of your home.

Our log homes feature a visible exterior caulking groove, designed to offer an extra layer of protection against nature's elements. This unique detail ensures your home remains resilient, giving you peace of mind for years to come.

✔ Simplified Building Process
With pre-cut, numbered logs and components, construction is straightforward and efficient, saving time and money. We provide you with a 100+ page construction manual geared for do-it-yourselfers. Let us guide you from consultation to completion with comprehensive support every step of the way.

"We designed our 3,000 square-foot Ward Cedar Log Homes ranch in less than three months!  Jane's skilled eye for detail, combined with her enthusiasm, made the process smooth.  We are now living our dream."

"Not only do I recommend Ward Cedar Log Homes, I ask anyone who is considering new construction to take a look at Ward. The company reps are easy-going and know their business.  Members of my build crew visited the mill and were very impressed with everyone’s commitment to excellence – from design, to milling, to loading the product for transport.  They take their time and do things right.  The product is an excellent blend of age-old, and modern, technologies - tried and true systems with the advantage of computer design and milling.  The design process could only be easier if there weren't so many options.  One can build from standard designs or create a dream house with as many facets as desired."
