We have received several responses from our log home owners about their dream of owning a log home and how they made it a reality. After taking time to fill out the questionnaire, answer an occasional phone call and uploading several photos of their log home to our web site, we have something special to share with the Coventry Log Homes community.

Cookin' for a Cure

Most people have been affected by the disease of cancer in one form or another, either directly or by association with those who have. The busyness of  living and working day to day has made it difficult to near impossible to attend to the personal needs of the afflicted and affected in the manner we would prefer.

So when an opportunity comes along that affords us the ability to help alleviate the hardships or sufferings of the families affected plus has the added bonus of  providing a tangible memento to remind us of our charitable efforts we tend to favor that option over doing nothing.

A cookbook with recipes compiled by members of the Log Homes Council of the National Association of Home Builders has been published with the philanthropic idea that 100% of the monies collected from the sale of the cookbook will go right back out to the families in need as seen fit by the National Cancer Awareness Foundation.  Even the printing expenses of the cookbook were incurred by private funds and corporate supporters.

A North Carolina couple builds their home and a life together in the mountains where they grew up

Colonel and Millie Holden graduated from the same high school in western North Carolina but didn't meet until well into their adult years. Colonel joined the Marines and left his hometown. Millie remained, raising her family and building her own career. When Colonel retired, he returned to his native Smoky Mountains. "As a child, I walked every inch of these mountains many times over," Colonel says. "I know every rock and tree here.

{ ...Millie and Colonel Holden situated their home on a knoll that gently slopes down to Shope Creek in North Carolina's Coweeta Gap region. The couple created a full wrap-around deck on the main level to take advantage of the views of the surrounding Smoky Mountains...}

Mark Elliott VP of Coventry Log Homes

The all-day seminar featured two Power Point presentations produced and presented by the companies vice president, Mark Elliott who also serves as chairman for the Task Force on Moisture Content Verification and Vice Chair of the Log Grading Committee for the Log Home Council.

The topics covered were: 1) the long history of the company, along with a list of sound reasons why one would buy from Coventry Log Homes, including it’s affiliation with the National Association of Homebuilders and its off-shoot the Log Home Council (of which there are only 60 members nationwide) and their high technical and compliancy standards that  a member must adhere to; and, 2) the buying and building processes from start to finish.
