Looking back on the iconic Durant and Rockefeller Great Camps of the 19th century, it’s easy to see why Adirondack homes have withstood the test of time and why everyone deserves their own New York style timber frame escape. Modeled after Swiss chalets, these rugged, rustic designs often feature natural wooden siding, steep gabled roofs, and covered porches that beautifully protect the home from the elements. Building upon that exterior aesthetic, the homes in the Woodhouse Adirondack Series feature spacious open floor plans that offer infinite customization possibilities to suit your specific lifestyle.

Whether you want to go big, like this client’s 6,770 square foot take on the GreatCamp floor plan, or you’re looking for more of a rustic, luxury log look, such as this White Lake, New York timber frame, all Woodhouse designs are as flexible as the needs of the homeowner. For inspiration for a cozier Adirondack home that packs in the beauty, check out this variation of the Sagamore plan in Bolton Landing, New York.

Timber frame homes in New York have two necessities: they need to be suitable for escaping the city's summer heat and for hunkering down on a snowy winter day. With beautiful yet functional designs and the ability to be built anywhere in the country, these Adirondack timber frame home kits are timeless classics for a reason.
