Keepin' It Real Since 1963

Tracing its origins back to the more rustic brand Vermont Log Buildings (established in 1963), Real Log Homes is one of the oldest log home companies in the United States. Follow our timeline below to learn more about us and why Real Log Home is "So Nice To Come Home To."

Real Log Homes is Founded

Founder, Jesse Ware, had a vision to build homes that blended with the countryside. He began fulfilling this vision in 1963 by handcrafting his own log home out of a stand of white pine trees. Real Log Homes has since grown to become the leading pre-cut log home brand in North America.
