Testimonials
Lynda, thank you so much for all that you and Timberhaven have accomplished. With the sad news of David’s passing, we weren’t sure how things would progress during construction, but you and Timberhaven stepped in and went the extra mile to assist us in transforming the existing cabin and truly integrate it with the addition you helped us create. We still remark about some of the great ideas you came up with that we honestly couldn’t live without, like moving the staircase, and your unique details that solved geometry issues as we tied into the existing cabin.
Owning a timber porch has always been a lifelong dream of ours. John and I reached out to Brad Mercer and the team from Timberhaven Log & Timber Homes to help make that dream come true. Brad made the entire process so easy from planning to delivery. We were truly amazed. We gave him our measurements of what we were looking for. He sat with us and showed us everything he had to offer from designs to colors to even taking us for a tour in the workshop and showing us models of timber porches to look at. We never felt pressured, and he answered every question we asked. The entire experience was so smooth from beginning to delivery, and we were beyond satisfied. John was able to do the porch himself (with help from a few friends) and it went up without a problem. It is just perfect!!!! It really makes the front of our house absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you for everything, Timberhaven. Even on the worst of days, stepping into the great room takes all the stress away! Amazing!
Greg Massmann (local rep) is building our Timberhaven log home in Montevideo, Minnesota. We are just so impressed with this whole process and in complete amazement of how each log was so precisely cut. Thank you for your work on this and please pass this note of gratitude on to whomever had a part of planning and cutting our home.
Words cannot describe what an extraordinary Timberhaven log home I have! It is a Modified Aspen Hill built with Timberhaven’s 6×8 Engineered Logs with the Dovetail corner assembly. My log home is 2,180 square feet and features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. A small mudroom connects my lovely log home to the 2-car attached garage. And in the basement, where my 10 parrots now reside, there is an additional kitchen, bathroom with walk-in-shower, and media room. My Timberhaven log home was completed in October 2018, and I moved in shortly thereafter. David Calder, my builder and master craftsman, did an incredible job on the construction of my dream log home.
As with all new construction, there were a few minor hiccups and a lot of rain delays. But, being patient paid off. I am in my new Timberhaven log home now, feeling very happy, safe and secure. Enjoying my morning coffee in the gorgeous sun room or outside under the covered front porch, watching the sunrise over the mountains is a great way to start the day. The flexibility that Timberhaven had given me with the design, made this the perfect log home to enjoy my ‘retirement’ years.
I highly recommend Timberhaven Log & Timber Homes as the designer and manufacturer for your dream log home. I also highly recommend David Calder if you’re considering building in the vicinity of Southeast Tennessee. Log homes are these folks’ passion, and I know they would just love to supply/build a log home for you, too. I am the second person in our small community to have one of Timberhaven’s beautiful log homes and couldn’t be more proud.

Many thanks,
Thank you very much for help making our vision come to reality. My girlfriend told me the other day that she has never lived in a house that she absolutely loved and now she does.
Thank you for putting up with all my questions for such a small order. I work in Insides Sales in the steel business, so I appreciate good customer service — and yours is excellent!
As a customer of Timberhaven for our log house, then log-sided garage, and recently a timber frame pavilion, their customer service and log home products are superb and top notch. We couldn’t be happier.
Lynda, Thank you for all you do. You and your company are a class act. Every time I need something, you come through. I really appreciate all you do. Thanks again!
Our timber frame home is built with kiln-dried timbers that were pre-cut and pre-notched so that assembly onsite was seamless. It is amazing to look around and see the mortise and tenon joinery that is holding our house together, solidly and beautifully. The aging process and longevity of these timbers are the most stunning, in addition to abundant natural beauty it provides to our family now and for decades to come.
During the design process, we took our time to think about all scenarios. Perfection takes time, and we didn’t rush it. And we weren’t afraid to make changes. We encourage you to do the same.
As far as material selections, there were plenty of material package choices provided to us. If Timberhaven didn’t have what we were looking for, they easily found it or provided an alternative, similar option. Timberhaven also offered the most competitive pricing for our quality timber frame home package.
Ultimately, we have built our forever home to raise our three sons and could not have chosen a better, more beautiful house to fit our plan. We are more than happy with our Timberhaven timber frame home and look forward to it being part of our lives and future generations to come.
