Meet the Swiss Mountain Log Homes Team

Master log builder Philippe Rérat was born and raised in Switzerland, a country known worldwide for its high-quality, precise workmanship. His formal training in forestry and silviculture make him an expert at selecting logs, and each log is subject to three rounds of his stringent grading before it goes into a Swiss Mountain Log Home shell. His apprenticeship with a Swiss master timber-frame builder and more than a dozen years experience as a custom log home builder have elevated Phil's craft to the highest levels. Kristine Rérat, Phil's wife and company co-owner, applies her education and professional background as an entrepreneur and teacher to providing friendly, personalized customer attention. And our crew of logsmiths are talented craftsmen with years of experience.

Together, the Swiss Mountain Log Home team's number one priority is giving customers an enjoyable, worry-free construction process and years of satisfied log home living.

About Scandinavian Full Scribe Logwork

Hundreds of years ago, Scandinavian craftsmen developed the art of full scribe log construction. Today, structures centuries old still stand in testament to these builders' skills. In this labor-intensive, highly skilled technique, each log is scribed and notched along its entire length, creating a weather tight "chinkless" fit. Each large log is carefully hand selected and hand peeled, scribed, notched and chiseled for an exact fit. Our love and passion for Scandinavian full scribe logwork is reflected in the precision and quality of every Swiss Mountain Log Home.

Our community memberships include the International Log Builders' Association, the Central Oregon Builder's Association and the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce.
