What Our Clients Say
Testimonials from Design Pack Customers
Mountain View Lodge
“The building materials and precision-cut logs we received from Natural Element Homes were beautiful. We are continually amazed at the number of people who stop, take pictures or slowly drive by to admire our log home. The final product is truly exceptional. Natural Element Homes is indeed a first-class company.”
– Jeff & Trina
Rocky Mountain Retreat
“Beginning with no more than an exterior photograph and hand-drawn floor plan, the professional team at Natural Element Homes worked with me to design a family cabin which previously existed only in my imagination. During construction, I was impressed with the quality of materials used and craftsmanship of subcontractors. I participated in even minute decisions at each step of the building process. My family and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. There is no substitute for the rustic ambiance of authentic timber-frame construction.”
– Cynthia
Big Chief Mountain Lodge
“It has been an EASY process thanks to you and our fantastic builder, Paul W. He still says this is the nicest package he has ever built, and he loves the plan. We could not be happier with our home and the effortless process of getting it all together. How many people can say that they had fun during the construction phase? I really did hate to see it end… in fact, so did our builder, so he has left a couple of ‘to-do’ items undone so he can come back!”
– Jennifer
Shamrock Ranch
“As you know, this is the second home I’ve built with Natural Element Homes, and I love it as much as the first one. I don’t get to visit too often out in Montana, but when we are there, we are very comfortable. The design is just right for the high-desert ranch life, and it captures the views very well. Thanks again for helping us figure everything out. I don’t think we will build again, but if we do, we know who to call.”
– Mike
Black Forest Camp
“The entire team from the Building Consultant at Natural Element Homes, to the GC, to the guys actually building my home were all TOP-NOTCH! I was particularly pleased that my house picked from so many plans looks ‘custom-built.’ My new neighbors came for the house-warming and loved the house so much, they wanted to move in themselves. Thank you all for everything!”
