Pioneer Log Homes features handcrafted log home building, starting from the log shell to full home packages complete with custom doors, windows, and cabinets. These are not just tiny log cabins—they range up to more than 6000 square feet of luxurious living space, built to order.

Logs are natural insulators. They radiate heat back into the house, at the same time providing an aesthetic look unmatched by any other building material. The logs are hand peeled with drawknives and finished with axes and slicks. The company provides the world's finest stands of spruce, pine, fir, and Western red cedar.

It is a family business: After learning the almost-lost art of handcrafted log building from a Native Indian named Samson Jack, Bryan Reid Sr. established Pioneer Log Homes of British Columbia in 1973. They established three fully productive building sites: William Lake site, Soda Creek site, and Nimpo Lake site. Close family support was then necessary for the operation to succeed: brother André Chevigny became the General Manager overseeing day-to-day operations. Brother David Chevigny secures and harvests timber. Son Bryan Reid Jr. overseas the training and operations of the Nimpo Lake building site, and brother Keith Reid owns and operates MasterCraft Cabinets, Windows and Doors.

With more than 30 years of family tradition in business, Pioneer houses are professionally constructed and precisely built according to the demands and personal desires of customers. The design and drafting department ensures the building of the perfect dream log home by using computerized art drafting equipment to create the plans.

Today, Pioneer Log Homes has emerged as a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, handcrafted log building company, recognized throughout the world as the industry leader and being well positioned to meet the challenges of the new millennium. Pioneer has distributors in the U.S. and Germany as well.
