This is a collection of pictures of the Montana Plan. The Montana is our flagship cabin, which has been featured on the header of our website for many years. Some of these photos were taken during construction, some after it was completed, and additional ones from 15 years after it was built. This home is in the Shining Mountains Subdivision, Ennis, Montana.

The wall logs are an 8×8 round logs with a double tongue and groove stack. The corners are saddle notched. Handcrafted logs were used for the ridge beams, purlins, log floor joists, support posts, log girder beam supporting the loft, header beam and support posts on the porch, and log rafters on the covered porch.

This home is a hybrid exhibiting milled logs for the exterior walls and handcrafted logs for the rest. All the log railing and interior staircase is also handcrafted log. The interior walls are all covered with 1×8 western red cedar tongue and groove. The flooring is all circle saw pattern wood flooring. The fireplace is framed and covered with cultured river rock stone. The fireplace is a zero-clearnace wood-burning insert.
