Welcome! 

 Are you looking for a beautiful log home and want all the economical and aesthetic benefits a log home affords?  Look no further, at Trails End Log Homes, we can get you on the right track. 

Trails End Log Homes is an independent dealer for Lodge Logs of Boise Idaho.  Lodge Logs is owned and operated by a logging company and because of that Lodge Logs is able to control the quality of there logs and a higher grade of log, unparalleled in the industry.  Our homes are easy to heat in the winter and keep cool in the summer.  All wall logs are kiln-dried  to  15% moisture content, to the center of the LOG, before milling.  Window and door openings are precut, and wall logs are pre-drilled for thru-bolt fastening. Our log walls are tight and they stay that way.  By using dry logs and our through-bolt method of construction, our log homes are one of the safest and enduring homes on the market.  (for more information see link: The Safest Home on the Market, you will be amazed.)

Trails End Log Homes offers packages at very competitive prices and nobody can beat the quality. Log package prices vary according to log diameter (7", 8", 9", 10" and 12") and wood species  Pine, Spruce, and Alpine Fir.

Lodge Log offers a limited LIFETIME WARRANTY on their log wall system. 

Lodge Logs provides only the log components for your new log home. Trails End Log Homes will also include any lumber materials in our packages such as framing lumber, insulation, windows, doors, plywood sheathing, etc. You may also purchase these items from you local lumberyard as you need them giving you control over your building project budget. 

  You may choose to purchase the log wall package only which includes everything you need to build an eight-foot high exterior log wall system: thru-bolts, couplers, nuts, washers, tension springs, key blocks and micro foam sealer.  The roof and other areas of the home are then conventionally framed by your builder using standard lumber material.  We also offer full half log siding which has the appearance of a full log wall and is easily applied to the gables and framed walls.

The total log shell package includes all the log components needed to erect your home: log walls,  log gables, log for dormer faces, half log siding for dormer sides, log floor joists, log roof system, log posts and headers, log stairs and log railing.

See typical log component illustration below:

  In addition to our standard plans, most of our homes are custom homes .We will be able to quote you the estimated cost for the total log components for the home once you have a set of approved construction drawings.  Your log home must be engineered for your specific location. Each log home is an individual.  No two will ever price out the same.

Lodge Logs also produces log trusses, log stairs, custom log mantles, 1/4 notched logs for true log corners, custom lathed and sanded log poles up to 20" diameter x 40 feet, half log siding, and custom cut rough sawn beams.

  Today, log homes account for more than 15% of the new custom homes built in the United States. The average cost of a completed turn key log home can start at about $130 per square foot and be as much as $200 per sq ft. depending on the local labor costs and choices made by  both you the owner and the builder.  Cost will vary depending on your location and the complexity of the home you design. Quality log homes such as Lodge Logs homes require a degree of construction skill higher than that for a conventional home when you go with the total log package.  You may demand finishing work and materials of a superior quality than in conventional homes such as hardwood floors, Anderson windows, cathedral ceilings, large log rafters, custom kitchen cabinets, log stairs and railings and stone fireplaces.  OR use the KISS principle (keep it simple) and even build it for less than $130 per sq ft.  (take a look at our Kabin Kits low prices).   Basement space and garage area are not included. The term "turnkey" means that the home has been constructed to a completed "move-in" state. Turnkey cost does not include cost of the land or any site improvements such as land clearing, driveway construction, installation of utilities, etc or permits.  You may also have your builder construct your log home "weather-tight" which means the roof is on, windows and doors in, and the home can be worked on protected from the weather.
