The Elkhorn Valley Chalet

The Elkhorn Valley Chalet was originally designed by one of our customers, blending practical design with impressive log cabin aesthetics. This spacious two-bedroom, two-bath layout offers 1,968 sq. ft. of living space (excluding the garage) and emphasizes efficient use of space — including a basement-ready foundation that can accommodate a garage or additional living quarters.

Key Features:

  • Total Area: 1,968 sq. ft. (not including garage)

  • Bedrooms: 2 main floor (option for more in basement)

  • Bathrooms: 2

  • Logs: 9” Swedish cope, hand-peeled logs standard

  • Basement: Daylight or frost-wall compatible; includes structural materials

  • Garage Option: Build garage beneath existing roofline for maximum efficiency

  • Customization: Floorplan allows for up to 4 bedrooms with basement layout

This model was created with both cost-efficiency and comfort in mind. The most budget-friendly way to add a garage is by integrating it into the basement level — leveraging existing structural coverage to save significantly on materials and labor.

Designed for Expansion & Livability

The Elkhorn Valley Chalet is perfect for couples, small families, or retirees looking to start with a solid main-floor layout and expand over time. The basement design allows you to add bedrooms, office space, or a media room without altering the exterior footprint — ideal for growing needs or multigenerational living.

Fully Customizable Log Cabin Kit Designs

You can flip the floorplan left to right, up, down, move things around to make rooms larger and others smaller, stretch the design (more costs), shrink it (save $), make it taller, different wall log diameters, add or subtract deck, railing, porches, entry trusses, add a garage, you name it, all doable. We try to advise you to keep the bathrooms stacked (plumbing costs), so a wet wall is shared, and some design elements like ridge lines and posts need to be approximately where they are, but the sky is the limit (let us help you get what you want)!
