Real People. Real Experiences. Real Helpful.
Another log home event that we attended was a “log raising” at the sawmill & corporate headquarters for Honest Abe Log Homes in Moss, Tennessee.
This was pretty early in our process of looking for land (…in all the wrong places).
At the time, we weren’t exactly sure what to expect at a log raising.
If you’re wondering, too… then read on.
Even if you’ve already selected your log home builder, or purchased a log home package from a log home manufacturer, the following list of log & timber home builders will still be immensely helpful to you in the process of building your new log home.
How?
These folks are the experts!
The final home on our tour of log homes was Matt and Melissa’s.
Their home was actually completed a couple of years ago, but they enjoy having visitors and sharing log home stories with others. That’s why they choose to participate in Honest Abe’s Annual Tour of Homes each year.
BONUS: Melissa’s dad was on hand to explain how he did all of the “finishing work” in this log home. (He does really nice work, too!)
See some examples below…
This was definitely the most FUN house on the Honest Abe Log Home Tour.
Lonnie and Sherry built this house from scratch themselves. It took them 2 years, and they have a lot to be proud of.

The next house we visited on the Honest Abe Tour of Log Homes was actually not on the tour… it was simply one that Tonya had mentioned to us, in case we wanted to swing by and have a look.
We are SO glad we did!…
The first home we visited on the Honest Abe Fall Tour of Homes was Matt and April’s log home.
Their timber frame home is currently under construction, and is set among the beautiful fields and rolling hills of Middle Tennessee.
Matt and April were a lot of fun to chat with. See highlights below…
On Saturday, October 14, 2006 we participated in the Honest Abe Log Homes Fall Tour of Homes. (It’s one of those builder events that I was talking about.)
This is a great opportunity to look inside some of our log homes and have question & answer time with the homeowners. Along the way, we are sure you will get plenty of good ideas for designing your own log home.
How true…
We saw this dog bed for log home owners at the Log Home Show in Pigeon Forge, TN.
I like it a lot.
Here’s why…

If you’ve already built the home of your dreams, then submit a picture of your log home to Country’s Best Log Homes, and you’ll likely see it in a 2007 issue of the magazine.
