Caribou Creek started in 1989 as a family business that traces its roots four generations back to traditional barn building. While some of the tools and styles have changed since then, today's homes are still rooted in the pride of craftsmen working with wood. Old fashioned values such as honesty, integrity, and treating others as we would like to be treated are core beliefs at Caribou Creek Log and Timber. 

We pride ourselves on working with homeowners, architects, designers, and contractors to help them achieve their vision of a log or timber structure. No two homes are the same because no two logs are the same. 

There are no "rules", and homes are as unique as the individuals we build them for. The team of experts at Caribou Creek works with you to tailor-make a home, totally custom designed, which combines your favorite features with the location and your lifestyle. Caribou Creek never builds the same home twice.

Whether a simple cabin or a commercial structure, we believe that helping the owners achieve their vision and making it real with the very best log craftsmanship is an honor and our privilege.

**★ — jason stringham, June 2021**

> I have had poor experience with these folks.  From unethical business practice to just blatant disrespect.  I had no idea they didn't value a homeowners privacy.  buyer beware- they only want to line their pockets art your cost. so sad

**★★★★★ — Eggers Architecture, Inc., Feb. 2016**

> As a custom home architect who specializes in log homes and hybrid log homes, I am always looking for the highest level of quality craftsmanship in the log homes industry.  After completing a 1200 sf custom cabin with Caribou Creek this fall, I've found the company I've been searching for.  The quality of work was impressive and the knowledge of the entire staff regarding the detailing and aesthetic of a rustic log home was beyond comparison.  I would recommend Caribou Creek to anyone searching for a quality product and a great experience.

**★★★★★ — dyoder1976, Oct. 2015**

> As a General Contractor I have worked with Caribou Creek Log Homes and know the Owner and Salesmen personally. There attention to detail and craftsmanship is astounding and some of the best. Honesty, integrity and customer service is what this Company strives for.

**★★★★★ — CAMPBELL & CAMPBELL LLC, Oct. 2015**

> We are a high end luxury home contractor in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho. We have been using Caribou Creek for all our log shells, timber and complex truss work for over 15 years. I can recommend them at the highest level possible. Their quality, timeliness and follow up are second to none.

**★★★★★ — nelsonmast, March 2015**

> We love our home!  The team at Caribou Creek Log & Timber was great. They an outstanding job giving us quality construction while keeping us inform and involved in the project.  They not only made us loyal customers but through the construction of our home we've become good friends. Would highly recommend them.

**★★★★★ — Sweet Homes of Colorado Inc, March 2015**

> I am the owner of a custom home building company in Colorado.  We recently began the search for a custom log home company who could produce the log package for a very complex home near Steamboat Springs Colorado.  An architect acquaintance suggested I look at Caribou Creek Log and Timber.  After reviewing bids, capabilities and personalities from 3 companies we moved forward with Caribou Creek.  The workmanship is some of the best I have ever seen and they were great to work with.  Deliveries were on time and the project is looking beautiful!!
> I highly recommend Caribou Creek and I look forward to working with them again soon.

## Community Q&A

**Q: railing** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is this railing custom?  Where can I get it?

A: Hi Liz, thanks for looking at our profile. Unfortunately we don't know who built the handrail since it was chosen by the homeowner from a local contractor. Have a great day!
