“Because no architect was engaged in the design of the house, it was essential to involve a builder who was intimately involved with the peculiarities of building at high elevation in heavy snow country, and Blue Ribbon Builders could not have been a more
perfect choice.”

- Owner, Basin House

Basin House

With hand-hewn, square, dovetailed logs and distinctive, thick chinking, the Basin House is a breathtaking testament to traditional log home building. Because they had a definitive vision for their Big Sky log home, the owners decided not to use an architect but to rely, instead, on the experience and expertise of Blue Ribbon Builders. As it stands today, the home is a celebration of log tradition, elegant craftsmanship, and spectacularly creative design elements.

Every aspect of the Basin House—including unique arrowhead details throughout, a hidden room, and even the home’s stunningly beautiful, but tucked-away setting—was designed to create a whimsical, mountain getaway for the owners and their family.

Cathedral ceilings highlight exposed timber trusses, giving the home a spacious, lodge-like feel. Yet even with ample space, the home feels anything but cavernous. The rich coloring of the traditional square-cut logs lends a cozy warmth to the home. Knotty railings, a natural stone fireplace and rock floors blend perfectly to give the home an elegant and traditional look.
