Vermont Log Cabins & Custom Log Homes
Mountain Logworks handcrafts Vermont log cabins and custom log homes at our building yard in Waterford, Vermont, in the heart of the Northeast Kingdom. Since 2000, owner and logcrafter Brant Schreiber and our crew have built Vermont log homes in the Scandinavian full-scribe tradition: full-length Eastern White Pine logs, hand-peeled and hand-scribed, joined with precise joinery that stands the test of time.
Log Cabin Builders for All of Vermont
From our yard in Waterford we serve the entire state, including St. Johnsbury, Burlington, Stowe, Montpelier, Woodstock, Killington, Manchester, and the lakes and mountains in between. Because we handcraft the complete log shell at our building yard and then reassemble it on your land, we can build a Vermont log cabin almost anywhere your site can be reached by truck and crane.
What We Build
Every project is custom designed for its owner and its landscape. Our work includes full-size custom log homes, small log cabins and tiny log homes, saunas, log staircases and railings, and log accents for conventional homes. You can see examples of our craftsmanship in our photo gallery.
Why a Handcrafted Vermont Log Home?
Unlike milled log kits, our homes are built from whole, naturally tapered trees selected for each wall. Hand scribing means each log is shaped to fit the one below it, log to log, with no gaps to caulk and no manufactured uniformity. The result is a healthy, natural living environment with impressive R-values and a presence no kit can match. Curious how it compares?
