Hearthstone began thousands of homes ago in 1971 as a restorer of old log homes in the southern Appalachian Mountains. It wasn't long until there were more people who wanted those homes than there were old logs for restoration. When Hearthstone set out to learn how to craft new homes -- it was imperative to keep the quiet strength of character of those original log and heavy timber homes of the Early American Timberwright®. Though thoroughly designed and engineered to reflect the experience of thousands of homes and the best in modern technology and comfort, Hearthstone's log homes remain what they were at our modest, yet proud, beginning: faithful reproductions of those 150-200 year old, heart-stopping, hewn, and dove-tailed homes that were the pride and labor of our forefathers.
