Maple Island’s team of talented handcrafters create up to 40 log home shells a year, no matter the weather. You will find these crews crafting logs into luxurious homes - one log at a time - in the rain, snow and even Michigan’s seemingly unbearable hot, humid weather. Once completed in the log yard, these shells are disassembled and shipped throughout the country to locations including upstate New York, North Carolina, Northern Michigan and even Alaska! 

Completed Maple Island log homes have been recognized nationally in Log Home Living, Log Homes Illustrated, The Travel Channel’s Luxurious Log Home Living and more.More information about Maple Island Log Homes available at www.mapleisland.com.
