The ForestPath draws inspiration from the mountain homes that evolved naturally over generations. Rather than feeling designed all at once, its connected forms and welcoming proportions create the impression of a home that has found its place over time. It's a design rooted in tradition while thoughtfully adapted for modern timber frame living.
Inside, the layout balances simplicity with everyday comfort. The open living spaces encourage gathering without feeling oversized, while the private primary suite offers convenient main-level living. For homeowners planning to build on a hillside or simply thinking ahead, the design also provides a natural opportunity to expand with additional living space as needs change, making the ForestPath a home that can continue to serve for years to come.
Make the ForestPath Your Own
Every Woodhouse floor plan is designed to inspire, not to limit what's possible. Whether you'd like to finish the lower level, reconfigure living spaces for changing needs, expand outdoor gathering areas, or tailor the layout to your homesite, our in-house design team can adapt the ForestPath to fit your vision.
From subtle refinements to fully custom modifications, we'll work with you to create a timber frame home that reflects the way you want to live while preserving the craftsmanship, character, and timeless appeal that define every Woodhouse design.
Appalachian Home Series
The Appalachian style cabin was less of an intentional design aesthetic than it was a product of necessity and rugged ingenuity. The Scotch-Irish settlers who pushed West into the mountains of the southern colonial territories utilized the materials at hand- fieldstone, log timbers, and clay to build simple, single room shelters with steep roofs, stone chimneys and warm lofts that protected from the snow, wind and rains. As time and abundance allowed, new rooms and subsequent wings were built, resulting in the add-hock Appalachian style that we admire today.
The architects and craftsmen at Woodhouse pay tribute to those generations of homesteaders with our Appalachian Home Series. While hand-cut logs and clay chinking have been replaced with energy saving SIP paneled walls and expertly crafted timber frames, the original inspiration carries through to today.
