Making owning a log home a reality  


  Ever dream of owning a log home? Love the idea of living in a log home in the country or having your own log cabin in the woods? True North Log Homes has been making these dreams a reality for over 15 years.

Both its head office and plant are located in Muskoka, a premier vacation destination just north of Toronto. But True North ships all over the world, including Japan, Europe and the U.S.

A glance through the plan book on their website reveals a variety of gorgeous homes and superb floor plans, ranging from the simple 900 sq. ft. Killarney model to the 1920 sq. ft. Louisburg Classic and the 2090 sq. ft Cabot, with many models in between.

But there is more to True North Log Homes than beautiful designs. True North Log Homes is a leader in the log home industry, manufacturing the most technologically advanced, and maintenance free log home in the world today.

Boasting no less than 14 log home patents, a 25 year "zero air infiltration" warranty, factory staining of logs, and a digital photography system True North Log Homes is on the leading edge and constantly working at being even better.

True North’s log homes are manufactured from either winter cut, slow growth northeastern white pine or from western red cedar. They use only the heartwood of live trees with no insect infestations. Standing dead wood is never used and as a result, kiln drying of the logs to eradicate insects is never necessary.

Using a range of full dimensional log sizes -- 6x12, 8x12 or 10x12 – and with either a dovetail or saddlenotch corner, their log homes come with a choice of 5 different log profiles, including round, D and double D. Most recently they introduced a revolutionary post corner system, which allows for irregular angles to become part of your log home design.

Explore their website to learn more about their leading edge, patented technology, accessing information on types of wood, tightness of wood grains, winter or summer cut logs, kiln drying, chinking or caulking of logs, pre-assembly of homes before shipment, log shrinkage, log home warranties and a host of other related subjects.

Take some time to browse their plan book to view photos and detailed floor plans. Check through their list of upcoming Log Home Shows, Factory Tours, Construction Seminars, and Model Home Sites or contact information to see if there is one in your area.
