At its core, the Lee log home was designed to balance gathering and retreat, creating spaces that feel connected while still offering privacy across three levels. Every detail reflects a thoughtful approach to how the Lees live, entertain, and spend time together.

The cathedral ceiling over the kitchen, dining, and living area establishes a central space that naturally becomes the heart of the home. In the kitchen, a mix of textures in the countertops adds visual interest, while a casual eat-in counter creates an easy place to sit, talk, and stay connected as meals are prepared. The galley layout remains efficient without feeling closed off, allowing for comfortable flow and interaction.

On the lower level, the family area offers a more relaxed setting, with seating, custom bar, a large wine cellar and a pool table that invite you to linger. A small wood stove adds warmth and atmosphere, making it especially inviting on cooler fall evenings.

Throughout the home, natural wood plays a defining role. Varied in tone and species, it brings depth and character to each space, while carved doors introduce a level of craftsmanship that feels both refined and personal. The result is a home that reflects the Lees’ desire for comfort, quality, and a sense of understated luxury.

From the beginning, the goal was to create a home that offered privacy for family members while still providing welcoming spaces for gathering with friends. It’s a balance that defines the entire design.

As John Lanner, Design Consultant and Project Coordinator, explains, “I go to the site, talk to the customer, and then I design a place they’ll love as much as I do.” That level of personal involvement is what carries through in a Beaver Mountain custom home, shaping a result that feels both intentional and deeply connected to the people who live there.
