Welcome To Lindsay's Log Home

We have set up this website so our family and friends can view the progress of the contruction of our vacation log home located in Almond, North Carolina.  We wanted to document the construction from the site clearing to the finished home.  As you can tell this is not  a professional website but just a place to document our progress.  We hope you enjoy the progress along with us.

 Greg & Kristi

We first started looking for mountain property in north Georgia in 2000. One Sunday afternoon Kristi wanted to look at the out of state listings in the AJC (Atlanta newspaper). I told her I threw the paper away. She went and got the paper out of trash and found a listing in North Carolina that sounded very nice. We made an appoitment and visited several developments. We found 2 lots side by side (about 5 acres) in a great development conveniently located across from Fontana Lake in Almond, North Carolina. We purchased the property in 2001.

The home took about 10 months to complete. We also have decided to use the home as a vacation rental.  Watershed Luxury Cabins are the property managers who will be handling the property.

Fontana View is gated community located in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. Conveniently located near the Nantahala River, Fontana Lake, Bryson City, the Cherokee Indian Reservation, the Tsali mountain biking trails and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. All kind of activities like whitewater rafting, mountain biking, horseback riding, or motorcycling the "Tail of the Dragon" are minutes from our development.

After months of interviewing log suppliers and builders our decision was easy. We choose Wahconah Log Homes and TimberCreek Builders out of Dillsboro, N.C..  In our opinion their homes seem to be the best built we could find. Their budget quote seemed to be realistic. It wasn't low balled like some estimates. It more detailed than the other bids as well. We are delighted to have them handle our project."

**Builder Update - Alan Parcell (formally of TimberCreek Builders) has started his own company "Mountain Vista Builders".  We highly recommend him as a builder.  We found him to be of great character, a talented builder, and passionate about his trade. contact information 828.788.1784
