Main Level Walkthrough
A covered entry leads into the entry hall beside the garage. The living room opens ahead with an angled log wall of windows and a masonry fireplace at its point. A solarium sits off the living room, and the dining area and kitchen sit behind it. The kitchen has a long island with seating and angled counters along the window wall.
A laundry and mudroom with a desk and a pantry closet sits at the back door. The master suite has a bay window, two walk-in closets and a master bath with a walk-in shower and bench, a double vanity and a private toilet room. A powder room sits off the hall.
Upper Level and Loft
Upstairs, bedrooms 2 and 3 sit on either side of bath 2, each with a closet. A loft runs the length of the upper floor and looks down into the living room and its fireplace wall.
Porches, Decks and Outdoor Living
An open deck and a covered deck sit off the laundry and kitchen side, and the covered entry runs along the garage to the front door.
Where the Ponderosa Fits Best
The Ponderosa suits full-time owners who want an attached garage, a main-floor master and a living room that faces the view. The solarium gives you a sunny room year-round, a real asset in mountain winters.
Its angled front works best aimed at a view, so we orient the plan to your site during design.

What’s Included in the Ponderosa Log Home Kit
Every Ponderosa log home kit starts as a hand-crafted log package from our yard in Montrose, Colorado: hand-peeled full round logs for the walls and roof structure, plus log bucks for doors and windows, log stairs and railings. The logs are scribed, notched and pre-fit in the yard, numbered, and shipped to your building site anywhere in the U.S. Construction times run 1 to 13 weeks depending on the size of the kit. See the full package on our log cabin kits page.
Want more than the log package? A dry-in package makes the shell weather-tight, and a turn-key build puts Frontier Log Homes in charge of the whole project. Building departments review log walls against ICC 400, the national standard for log structures, so plan for engineering on every site.
