Outdoor Living
Outdoor living spaces can certainly enhance your Moosehead cedar log home, expanding your livable square footage with inviting spaces to entertain friends and family and connect with nature in comfort. This gallery of our favorite outdoor living spaces, including covered decks, and patios, offers inspiration for creating your own outdoor oasis.
You’ll notice that many of these spaces make the most of their footprint with thoughtful design features that extend enjoyment into all seasons. For decks and porches, consider incorporating overhead fans to circulate air during steamy months and a stone fireplace to provide cozy warmth during cool weather.
If space allows, creating multiple outdoor living areas can give you and your guests the flexibility to gather as a crowd or slip away for a quiet respite. Pair a covered front porch with an open-air rear deck to enjoy both shade and sun. Or go all-out with a wrap-around porch that offers views from all sides of your home. Adding access to a deck or balcony off the primary suite can transform your sleeping quarters into a private retreat.
Led by your vision, our design team will craft outdoor living areas that are as easy to love as those inside the four walls of your Moosehead cedar log home.
