Our Journey with Original Log Cabin Homes
Tar River Log Homes grew from a simple idea: craft original log retreats that celebrate traditional joinery while meeting modern expectations. Rooted in Rocky Mount, our workshop brings together craftsmen who honor timber techniques and adapt them for today’s homeowners.
Celebrating a Legacy Since 2013
Our team combines years of hands-on experience & craftsmanship that began long before Tar River became a name. Since 2013, the families behind our builds have been shaping quality log structures; today we leverage that heritage to deliver durable, thoughtfully designed homes.
We back our work with clear communication and reliable service. Ask about our project examples and warranties to see how our experience translates into value for your build.
Embracing Nature and Craftsmanship
We believe living close to nature shouldn’t mean sacrificing comfort. Our original log approach blends rustic character with modern conveniences, producing cabin homes that feel timeless yet livable year-round.
Clients tell us their Tar River home becomes more than a structure — it’s a place where family stories grow. If you’d like a local reference or a sample plan, we’ll connect you with past owners who can share their experience.
Precision Craftsmanship
At Tar River Log Homes, true craftsmanship comes from pairing decades of hands-on timber work with modern milling technology. Our shop uses precision equipment alongside time-honored joinery, so every log fits tightly, looks authentic, and performs well as part of a long-lasting log home.
Advanced Saw System for Superior Quality
Our facility includes an integrated saw system designed to mill consistent, accurate profiles suitable for a wide range of original log designs. By producing uniform logs in the shop, we reduce on-site adjustments, speed installation, and help improve thermal tightness compared with less-precise cutting methods.
That consistency means your log components arrive ready to assemble—streamlining construction and helping your new log cabin keep heat in and drafts out without sacrificing the natural character of the wood.
Exploring a Wide Variety of Log Profiles
| Choose from classic and contemporary log profiles—Classic D-Log, Double Round, Single Chink Log, Double Chink, and V-Groove Inside & Out. Profile choice influences the look and how the structure settles over time; our team will recommend the best match for your design. We work with Eastern White Pine chosen for their performance and regional suitability. Where possible we source our logs locally, in and around the blueridge mountains, to support sustainability and deliver homes that suit the local climate. |
