Architectural Excellence:
The Winders Bay log home showcases stunning exterior architectural lines, accentuated by timber accents that truly make it a stand out along the shoreline.
The warm caramel tones of the wood blend seamlessly with the bold black-clad windows, creating a sharp and sophisticated look that's sure to catch the eye of anyone driving or boating by.

Making the Most Of a Smaller Lot:
We designed this home to maximize the stunning lake view and provide everything the Heaton’s needed within the confines of a smaller lot.
Inside, the 725 sq. ft. main floor is both functional and inviting, featuring a generous bedroom, a full bath, a well-appointed kitchen, a dining area, cozy sunroom and a spacious living room featuring a beautiful stone fireplace.

Spacious Feel in a Smaller Space:
Despite its smaller footprint, the Winders Bay log home feels remarkably spacious thanks to the clever design choices.
The tongue and groove cathedral ceiling with matching beams adds volume and a sense of space, while the mix of drywall and wood creates contrast and helps the home feel larger than it is.

A View to Remember:
The highlight of this charming log home is undoubtedly the breathtaking view of Lake of Bays.
Designed to maximize this view, the back of the home opens up to a deck that spans its width. The sunroom, which is the perfect place for card games and relaxation, leads to the deck, ensuring every moment spent here is an opportunity to savor the tranquil beauty of the lake.
