A-frame Cabin in the Woods
A Daring Riverfront Haven
An Immersive Natural Experience
This stunning A-frame cabin transformation showcases Craft Homes NW’s exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Perched on a hillside with extensive Klickitat River frontage, the cabin offers privacy, picturesque views, and direct access to prime steelhead fishing and hunting grounds. The project exemplifies our ability to execute sophisticated designs with precision while maintaining the authentic, immersive natural experience clients seek in recreational properties.
Thoughtful Inside & Out
There is a lovely symbiosis between the cabin’s interior and the outdoors. The material selection and floor-to-ceiling windows create a seamless transition.
We collaborated with award-winning Allison Lind Interior Design to create elegant spaces with lived-in comfort. The home features a genuine masonry wood-burning stone fireplace in the great room, and meticulously crafted materials throughout, including white oak, stone, metal, leather, and handcrafted tile.
Cozy Living
An open floor plan effortlessly blends the kitchen and living room, creating a seamless flow perfect for hosting while maintaining cozy charm.
Wooded Retreat
To achieve the clients’ dream of a quintessential cabin feel with modern comforts, careful planning went into the exceptionally detailed design. Implementing the design was challenging and rewarding and reminded us why we’re passionate about our craft.
The home features unexpected surprises throughout, including ingenious hidden storage and secret spaces, a concealed pantry, and a children’s fort.
Chef’s Kitchen
Despite its small footprint, the elegant and efficient kitchen leaves nothing to be desired. Custom elements, including a metal range hood, travertine trough sinks, and solid wood plank cabinetry, elevate the space.
The high level of collaboration with the design team made this project a real success. Through seamless communication, we combined talents to create a home that exceeded the client’s expectations.
“Craft Homes Northwest surpassed our expectations as builders and collaborators…
Jon brings many years of finish carpentry skill and general construction knowledge, and Bre is an amazing communicator with exceptional attention to detail, and both have a good eye for design. Their word is golden and their personalities are a delight. They return calls promptly and make the stressful building process manageable. Billing is timely and easy to understand & they value transparency with their clients.
We couldn’t be happier with our selection of builders. We checked references ourselves, and other clients were very happy with their work and with them as individuals.”
– Devon & Logan, Clients
“They Are Craftsmen
We were introduced to the team at Craft Homes NW through our clients who hired us to design the interior for their Lyle, WA cabin. It’s always a bit anxiety-inducing to be working with an unfamiliar contractor. Our designs are absolutely useless if there isn’t a great contractor to bring them to life.
Craft Homes went so far beyond that. They are not “contractors,” they are craftsmen. Jon’s attention to and concern for the details is unparalleled. And BreAnn should teach a Master Class on project management and organization. Our designs – and the clients’ wishes – were not just executed beautifully, they were elevated thanks to Jon and BreAnn’s, and all their talented subcontractors’, incredible work. I wouldn’t want to do another project in that area without them!”
