Floor Plans Turn Your Vision into Reality.
For many who dream of a log or timber frame home, the vision of its exterior often takes shape long before formal plans are established. While homeowners may have a clear idea of their desired aesthetics, understanding the layout and design elements for the interior can be a bit more challenging.
How to Obtain Floor Plans
At Buffalo River Log Homes, we frequently guide clients on their journey to homeownership and are often asked how to initiate the process of obtaining floor plans for their new log or timber frame home.
It’s advisable to begin the design process as soon as the decision to build a wood home is made. Customers who purchase a home package from Buffalo River Log Homes receive complimentary plans.
Having your plans ready allows for modifications and is essential when consulting with potential contractors and lenders. Making changes on paper is far simpler than altering your vision after construction has begun.

Buffalo River Log Homes provides a wide selection of original log and timber home plans that can be customized to suit individual needs. We also offer two alternative options for plan development: you can provide your own ideas, or we can create original plans based on your concept.
In-House Design
We want you to be assured that working in conjunction with Buffalo River Homes, the Honest Abe in-house, award-winning Design Team can turn original ideas that are just concepts and dreams into plans that a customer can really think about and review. It sounds cliche, but we really have had people bring us their ideas sketched out on a napkin or scrap paper, and they’ve become plans for beautiful homes.
Three options for designing floor plans with Buffalo River Log Homes:
- choose from the Honest Abe collection of original plans
- choose from customer created plans designed by Honest Abe’s customers and in-house design team

Customizing Any Plan
Of course, there’s a fourth option, which is to select a plan you like and have us modify it for your specific needs and desires. Many people choose one of our classic plans and make it their own through modifications. Click the Searchable Floor Plans button to see the entire collection.
