Our Story through Photos!

An inheritance of appreciation for the beauty of Nature has been passed down through the generations of the Jim Barna family and for decades in the Jim Barna Log and Timber Homes company. Our passion for the outdoor way of life is our family tradition. It is only natural that our corporate headquarters is nestled just outside of The Big South Fork National Park. We have built upon the pioneering spirit of America’s past to bring you the best log home available today, and one that will last through generations of your family.

Michigan Log and Timber is one of the largest and most innovative log home manufacturers in the United States.

Our founder and namesake did much to shape the landscape of the current log home market. Founder Jim Barna began changing the industry by changing the logs. He started the trend of milling the logs to specific, uniform tolerances and joining them together with interlocking saddlenotch corners and tongue-and-groove walls. These techniques kept the structures air and water tight and maintained the straight lines of the logs. Since then, Michigan Log and Timber has developed multiple log systems that provide innovation, integrity and ease of construction.

Here in Michigan – it only seemed natural for us to have this partnership and bring you the BEST! We pride ourselves in giving you the home you have always dreamed up. Take a look at our photo gallery. If you have any questions,
