THE HISTORY OF REAL LOG HOMES AND TIMBERPEG
Real Log Homes Founder Jesse Ware

Original Real Log Homes Cabin - Hartland, VT

Real Log Homes Co-founder Henry Merritt
|
REAL LOG HOMES® began with the vision of Jesse Ware who built the first log cabin with his bare hands in 1963. He also built a log home that was used as a model for many years in Hartland, Vermont, and served as the foundation for the company to become the leading pre-cut log home brand in North America. The original model home is now owned and lived in as a private residence and has become a local landmark.
In the fall of 1972, the first timber project, a simple structure - originally called a Cluster Shed - was constructed and featured the traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery that has become the Timberpeg trademark. Customers loved the style of these structures but began requesting more custom, livable designs and options. It was in 1974 that the TIMBERPEG® brand was born.
We've been designing and fabricating Real Log Homes and Timberpeg timber frame homes ever since. Today Real Log Homes and Timberpeg are national, and even international, companies with more than 35,000 projects to our credit. Based in Claremont, New Hampshire, we are dedicated to designing some of the most unique log and timber frame homes in the world. Durability, comfort, and elegance are a byproduct of our manufacturing process, which combines the highly precise state-of-the-art CNC cutting machine (called a Hundegger - saving our clients time and money by reducing waste) and the time honored traditional techniques of hand peeling, cutting and finishing. Whether it’s advice on siting, design, finishes, assistance with bids, engineering or a complete package of materials – we’re here to help.
