Our journey started by meeting Jeff Heeg at the Lake Home & Cabin Show in Madison, WI in January 2018. We were negotiating for an 80 acre wooded parcel near Norwalk WI that included a 25 acre pond. Among the exhibitors at the show, GE stood out because of the quality of workmanship and the ability to offer a turnkey building process. By May 2018, we had closed on the land, signed a contract with GE and found a general contractor who is very familiar with the GE product and process. The design process was challenging for our family of six (grandparents, son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters), but made easier and fun by choosing most options at the GE headquarters near Wisconsin Rapids, WI. Your staff were very helpful by listening closely to our ideas and then making suggestions to accomplish our goals. The final floor plans were detailed and specific enough to guide all sub-contractors in their roles. One of the highlights of our cabin was the customized carving on the central beam, you offered as an option early in the design phase. We were able to work with the professional wood carver, who performed his art on the 10"x10" log before it was installed in the structure. Materials were delivered in a timely fashion. We had no major issues with the quality of the whole logs and other building supplies for our 1874 s.f. cabin, including a loft and a full drive-under basement. Our only issue was the delivery and installation of the wrong loft railing. GE replaced this railing and covered the extra cost of our general contractor's labor. The Murphy family would highly recommend Jeff Heeg and Golden Eagle to other families considering a log or timber home. In both quality of workmanship and professionalism of staff, they are unsurpassed. read more

I have been working with Sandy Kemppainen, Derrick Schultz, and Justin Jankowski from Golden Eagle Log & Timber Homes for several months now to design my dream cottage. I have 120+ year-old log cabin that I am having removed and replaced with a beautiful log home from this great company. We drove over four hours to meet with the team at their facilities in Wisconsin Rapids Wisconsin. I am so glad we made that trip as it gave me a chance to see everything first hand in making my choices and designs. They offer so many wonderful packages and choices for floorplans and designs to meet your personal needs and wants. Everyone there is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and fun to work with. I went there with some plans and selections in mind and left there was with ones that I never even imagined. Something that I absolutely love was the fact that for every tree they harvest they plant three trees to replace it. I'm just so completely impressed with everything from start to finish with them. So if you are interested in any type of custom log home please call these great people and talk to them they are very impressive. read more

We have been "planning" a log home for the last 20 years! We finally decided it was time to take the next step to making our dream a reality. After many hours on the internet searching plans, watching videos and researching different companies, We decided to go visit Golden Eagle Log Homes in Wisconsin Rapids, WI. We are so glad we did! This was a 690 mile trip one way and was worth the drive! We was greeted at the front door of their show home with our names on a sign welcoming us.(Nice touch) We met with our home consultant Jon W, who took us on a tour of their show home and then their Planning SUPER STORE! This place is amazing, you can pick out everything from Log size, stain color, Rock styles/color, bathroom fixtures etc... It makes all the difference when you can actually see/feel the choices you are making and not relying on a picture from a magazine!! We are currently working with Jon (Thanks Jon!) to design our dream home and hope to start building later this year! If you are up in the air about making the trip, don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed! read more

We searched for the right log home builder to build our dream retirement home for two years before selecting Golden Eagle Log & Timber Homes (GELH). We met Jeff Heeg (Sales Advisor) at the Minneapolis Lake Home & Cabin Show and knew we met our log home builder. Jeff was a joy to talk with from the first discussion and his knowledge navigated us through the entire process. This was our first log home and Jeff patiently answered all our questions in a timely manner. We have been living in our GELH for the past five months and love the quality of the materials and workmanship. There isn't a week that goes by without my wife or I saying we can't believe we live in such a beautiful home. Jeff Heeg assisted us in building our dream home. Great job Jeff and GELH! We highly recommend GELH and Jeff Heeg to build your dream log home! Mike & Mary L. read more

We highly recommend Golden Eagle Log Homes to anyone looking to build a log home. We found them to be a superior company with employees that cared about getting our home designed and completed to our satisfaction. From the design process all the way through product delivery and beyond, we were very pleased with our decision in choosing Golden Eagle Log Homes. Building a house is complicated, so getting an experienced company was important to us. Golden Eagle's one-stop shopping with its complete package option was an incredible time saver with almost unlimited choices. They have a very efficient process that gets you from A to Z as smoothly as possible. We have a beautiful home. Thanks Golden Eagle Log Homes. Mark and Ami-Colorado. read more

This builder is about people. We went to a show at their facility in Wisconsin Rapids, WI on 5/4/19. As impressive as their facility is, and the quality way they build homes, I was most impressed with the people. From the owners on down they are genuine and friendly. They use the word family quite often in describing themselves at Golden Eagle, and it seems they have made a great many friends of people they have built homes for. No hard sales pitch. They make the case as to why they are the best in the Log home industry. We are looking at different builders to build our retirement lake home. I can truly state that Golden Eagle Log Home's has vaulted to the top of our list of potential builders. read more

My wife and I have built several homes over the years, but have never had the attention to detail that Golden Eagle put into every one of their log homes. From site engineering to highly detailed building plans to the personal attention received at very step in the process and their certified builders network, I am quite certain you will not find a more organized, structured and caring log home builder. If you begin your building process with Golden Eagle log homes, I assure you that you will end there as well. And if I didn't mention it - Golden Eagle Log Homes will provide you with the highest quality log home experience that will fit most any budget. Ken & Carla Matthews read more

My husband and I recently traveled to Golden Eagle from Florida and it was well worth the 22hr drive!! Jan has responded promptly to all my emails and many, many questions. Jon was very informative during our visit while giving us a tour of the facility as well as the model homes. A special thank you to Zac for allowing us to visit his beautiful home!! Everyone was very welcoming. Make the time to visit, you won't be disappointed!! I have researched many companies over the last year and no one comes close to Golden Eagle. So excited to build our forever home in Colorado!! read more

Zach, I cannot say enough about how much my family and I enjoyed our experience. We had a blast working with you and really appreciate the friendship we formed. You were extremely patient with us and the advice you provided throughout the design and build process was invaluable. As a whole, it was obvious that the Parmeter family and the staff take pride in their product and customer service. These folks were quick to respond, knowledgeable, fair, and downright good people. I am glad we choose Golden Eagle. The photos speak for themselves. read more

After visiting Golden Eagle recently, my husband and I would highly recommend both the G.E. company as well as encourage others to visit their showroom. We received expert technical and creative advice regarding our log cabin plans. It is an opportunity to educate yourself and see in person the colors and materials that you are selecting, as well as receive professional advice. This family run business is conscientious, honest, competent, and responsive to the needs of their customers. Five stars! read more

We've been in our log home for a little over a year now. This was built as a family retreat, but we love it so much that we're there more than we had originally planned! I can't say enough about the owners and employees; it was a thrill to travel from Texas to see the campus of Golden Eagle. Their attention to our project, including follow-up upon completion, has been outstanding. Theirs is a PR model for other businesses to strive for! read more

We worked with the Final Selections team (Zach and Dala) to pick the fixtures, doors, cabinets, etc. for our GELH future retirement home. These 2 were amazing. A normally overwhelming process was made so easy and enjoyable! Both are very talented in their design suggestions, very knowledgeable of the products in the showroom, and extremely great to work with! I can't say enough good things about them and the process. read more

We spent an amazing and very productive day at Golden Eagle! Justin was very personable and knowledgeable. It is so much easier to go through the process of designing and building a log home when you have this kind of service. The ability to see in person all the products and color selections is so much easier than trying to do it all your self or online. We look forward to working with them on our home. read more

The three days spent at Golden Eagle Log Homes was very helpful as we begin our journey toward building our dream home. Jeff spent 3 hours one-on-one with us which was greatly appreciated. What I like is that Golden Eagle cares about the environment and works with forestry to select trees -- they don't clear cut and they plant 3 trees for every one tree they harvest. That's important to me! read more

My husband and I have lived in our Golden Eagle Log Home for 9 years, and we can't say enough good things about it. We would build again with Golden Eagle if this wasn't already our forever home. Zach was great at guiding us through the experience, and the folks at Golden Eagle were terrific to work with. We highly recommend working with Golden Eagle. read more

Based on previous research, we were relatively certain that we were going with Golden Eagle Log and Timber Homes. After our visit to their facility, and visiting with Jan...there is no doubt. We expect to finalize a purchase in the next year-or-two. The customer service, and quality of workmanship is--in my opinion--unsurpassed in this industry. read more

Great knowledgeable company with a wonderful showroom full of wonderful ideas and product. We are really pleased with our new home (we chose to build it ourselves). The product was first class, the blueprints were excellent and the design team was very helpful in creating the perfect home for us. read more

Have been looking at different Log/Timber home builders and have enjoyed the working process with Golden Eagle. Zach is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We were able to tour the factory where all the magic takes place, and learn more in one day at Golden Eagle than anywhere else. read more

The staff and facility at Golden Eagle Log Homes provided me with the knowledge to make an informed decision relating to a timber frame, hybrid, or full log home. If you are considering a trip to Wisconsin Rapids to meet with the Golden Eagle team -- just do it -- you won't regret it. read more
