This timber frame cabin is designed by M.T.N Design in collaboration with PrecisionCraft Log & Timber Homes, set against the historic beauty of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It was the homeowner’s wish to have a cozy retreat that would seamlessly blend in with the style of the homes in this charming ski town. The 2,415-square-foot, two bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom cabin perfectly echoes the local heritage—yet with a modern approach.

With bold, rustic styling, this home offers imaginative details that creates the illusion that is was built a century ago. This includes a traditional wrap-around porch, large, hand-adzed timbers, chinked wood siding; and plenty of unique finishes. There are also energy-efficient, structural insulated panels (SIPS) for the walls and roof.

Beautiful simplicity…the wonderful blue window trim adds a happy splash of color so rare on log cabin homes…do you mind sharing the brand and color with me? Thanks!

This is a log and post and beam hybrid, not a timberframe!
Rafters bolted to girts, timberlinx metal connectors at the center beam junctures, bolt on diagonal bracing, is this what passes for timber construction now?
Craftsmanship is gone, at least get the label correct!

The term “timber frame ” has been hijacked and deluted similar to the term “carpenter” Any structure using heavy timber is now called a timber frame and if a customer doesn’t know that the joinery that allows timber frame structures to stand for centuries has been replaced by metal connectors and requires less skill they will continue to over pay for these structures and… Read more »
