About Us

We build log homes with full scribe, Swedish cope and chink style construction. Our logs are processed by hand, one-by-one. We mark the logs with scribes and carefully cut them with chainsaws.

A Little bit of History

JR Troyer was raised on a farm in Ohio Amish community. At an adventurous age of 22, JR was getting restless, his brother Willie had meanwhile moved to Montana in 1990 and got him excited about the West.

After deciding to move to Rexford, Montana in October of 1992, JR started working for Kootenai Log Homes, and it didn’t take JR very long to determine that this was a challenge he liked! Especially building a log home with a chainsaw.

JR’s log building passion never left him. In 2006 JR rented a lot on Hwy 93 and formed Mission Creek Log Homes.

In 2012 JR and his family felt the Lord leading them to move to Grangeville, ID. He moved his business to Clearwater, ID and changed the business name to Clearwater Log Structures, then in 2022 they moved the business location closer to Grangeville, which is where we are located right now.
