Log Home Living in the Laurel Highlands

Every month thousands of people from Western PA, Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland flock to the Laurel Highlands in search of something they can’t find in their everyday lives…tranquility. From white water rafting to soothing spas, the Laurel Highlands seem to be the up and coming place to live everyday life or getaway for the weekend.


Along with the emergence of the Laurel Highlands, the log home industry seems to be offering up exactly what these people need in terms of lodging. For years the log home lifestyle has lent a helping hand to people in the mountains with its laid back style. It has recently re-emerged offering Laurel Highland transplants all the modern conveniences of city life with the serenity of a lazy day on the porch.


Companies like Mountain Creations Log & Timber Homes are building beautiful Northern White Cedar Log & Timber Frame homes in the heart of the Laurel Highlands. Careful to preserve nature, these homes can be tucked away in the woods or overlooking the gorgeous Yough Lake. Floor to ceiling windows, open floor plans and stone fireplaces are common place for these beautiful homes.


Mountain Creations Log & Timber Homes even offers a log home development, just miles from Seven Springs Mountain Resort. Horseback riding, sportsmen club, spa and nationally acclaimed skiing can be just miles away from your mountain home. Being surrounded by beauty and neighbors you know value the same type of living can add even more value to your property and your peace of mind.


If you see a sunny Saturday in your future with no plans, check out the Laurel Highlands. Bike the Great Allegheny Passage with kids, go golfing with the buddies, or take a romantic tour through Fallingwater. Who knows, you might find the perfect piece of property along the way.


Whether you are simply visiting for the weekend or building a permanent residence, the Laurel Highlands offer the solitude and an atmosphere that only a log home can match.
