Our Story From
the Desk of Georgia Kelley, President
The concept to be the "Best Log Home Company" came in
early 1994... We had always dreamed of owning our own log home.
Gary had built log homes from different
manufacturers and realized that there was something very unique
about people who wanted a log home. They didn't just ride slow by
the job site, they drove up and came into the log home and said,
"How can we have a log home?".
After relating to this emotion,
Gary came home and said, "This is what we need to do... "
I left a very stable job to pursue the dream of starting our own
log home company. With a Marketing degree and 20 years experience
in Sales, we wrote letters, made calls and researched every major
log home manufacturer to see who we wanted to represent. Traveling
to various manufacturing facilities and talking with representatives
gave us a view of what the log home industry had to offer. Our decision
to represent Barna Log Homes came as a result of meeting with
Jim Barna, the man responsible for many of the new technologies
used in the best log homes. As builders, we wanted to represent
the leader in the industry who understood that our commitment to
excellent service and quality was our number one goal. Jim Barna
complied.
Almost 10 years later Mountain-Lake Log Homes,
Inc. and Barna Log Homes are more committed to each customer's
desire to have his or her own log home. With almost 15 years experience
in the log home industry, along with Jim Barna's nearly 30 years,
we make sure our customer's understand our commitment to excellence
in every aspect of our business. Mountain-Lake Log Homes, Inc. has
"Three Rules for Success in Business". Rule #I- Take Care
of the Customer. Rule #2- Take Care of the Customer. Rule # 3- Take
Care of the Customer. Everything else in our business has always
worked out.

In 1996, we received "# 3 Top Distributor" in the Country. That year, we were asked by Jim Barna to serve on the newly created "Barna Log Homes Advisory Board".
