Our interiors and Exteriors reflect the individual tastes of each homeowner. Each home is tailored to the way you want it. Our materials are so dry that the maintenance issues are almost nil, as we discuss in our guide the proper care and maintenance of your logs. Take a peek and see our beautiful logs. They are unlike any other in color, strength and longevity, settling less, fitting tighter, and going up quicker with killer looks and even better equity.

Here is a sample of our beautiful railing, rails are a full 4”, and spindles 2 1/4”. It is pre-assembled and included in all kits, porch, deck, balcony and stairs!

Most of our customers prefer a contrast, using sheetrock, tongue and groove, character posts and this interior is very typically what most do.

This nice grand entry with a simple truss that can be added to any home, and really sets off a Columbia Lodge. Configure yours today.

Luke Mathisen had friends and family help him get his loft floor on, and you can see they did well and it looks like it should. This premium solid wood T&G floor is standard on all models, both main and loft. We run tons of this so you save big. The picture on the right also shows our foam between each row of logs. He also did radiant heat in the basement, and we have information for those interested in looking at that. 10” logs, AlpineGlow Chalet.

The Kolendich interior is awesome, and the stonework is a whole wall. We like the way Kathleen has made this a real eye catcher in all ways, she has great taste.

Railing is easy, even to a 12/12 pitch loft

Dave and Tracy Sandry did a nice job in a short period of time. Dave is a concrete contractor, but his concrete crew set up a 5200 square foot house and 3 car garage in 3 weeks, and to top that off, it was in January in Montana!

Even on a 24’ wide cabin like a Glacier or BlackBear, the ridge is 21’ up! The interior can be tailored to your taste, with the ceiling being pine as shown, or sheetrock, for about the same money.

Kitchens and dining rooms are a snap with even our smaller homes. We call this a 5/8 loft, where a post extends the loft above, which is cheap square footage, and also makes a nice post on an island or at the end of a U shaped kitchen.

Bedrooms are cozy in a log home. Lots of warm wood. Wiring is easy too, and most can be done in just a few hours at the right time, and adaptable. We have this part down.

The Lodges can incorporate big glass for low cost, and the low e windows we provide keep the uv down and the light in. To the right, the T&G ceiling sets off the upper loft, the tile is optional (we provide beautiful solid 2” thick T&G floors), but we can remove windows and doors, as well as flooring very easily to suit any taste.

The bottom shots here are of extreme character fire-killed logs, used for an entry into a home. The logs show nice qualities you cannot find unless you have the super old, dry, slow growth logs that we use on a daily basis. These logs are perfect for exactly this use! Nowhere else than near Glacier National Park in Montana!

This is a rec. room basement for a home in Whitefish built by Glen Prestegaard, and shows a simple, inexpensive functional fireplace insert with river rock & aggregate hearth, with log mantle that he did in just 2 days. This is a great alternative to expensive walls of rock, and it is light. Material was under 1600. total including the stove insert.

We like what Peter did on the Kolendich residence, using 2x material for the trim. A little more work, but it did turn out great. This is 10” hand peeled log with a light stain.

Although architectural 3d shingles are more popular, metal roofs look nice and as long as you don’t have a lot of kids running around when there is a big snow (dump), they shed the needles and snow best. Notice special fascia.

Troy Pilgeram has some nice character logs in the basement of his Alpine Lodge, and he used log instead of glue-lams to keep the home rustic. Teresa had some great ideas inside too, their home will be shown here soon.

The electrical outlets are run on the first whole log, drilled on site though the floor in a morning, and are wired later. We have a slick way that is fast with no wires showing.

Dave modified his Columbia Lodge model to include a larger deck, front window design changes, 3 car garage, a mirrored floorplan, etc. It is close to completion here.

The interior walls are most commonly done with sheetrock, and with good reason. They really contrast with and complement the natural beauty of wood.

Glen designed this remarkably innovative and strong spiral staircase, and together with Thor, his brother, built this prototype model for a customer in Montana recently. Ask for one in your kit. They take longer to set up, but cost about the same money as a log stairset from us. You save thousands here from our competition.

Although still needing the deck and basement finishes, as well as trim, this Alpine Lodge is getting close to completion. They chose 11’ walls as well as extending and widening the home 4’, netting them over 4600’. They easily have 200% equity, their home worth twice what they have in it. Now there is another reason to choose Lazarus Log Homes.

To the left, we did a widened, lengthened and taller Cascade, and added a sunroom with a deck above off of one side, and a grande entry dormer, like a portico, only with a deck underneath. Nice.
