A Model Remodel – Honest Abe Murfreesboro
The model is currently open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. to once again welcome prospective homeowners and inquisitive visitors.
Over the past few years Honest Abe Log Homes has been in the process of remodeling the company’s model home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Built in 1981, the home has welcomed thousands of guests seeking information about building their own log or timber frame home or just curious about the eye-catching log home.
“Our Murfreesboro Model Sales Center is a short drive down the interstate from Nashville,” said Honest Abe Log Homes Vice President Jeff Clements. “This model home is an ideal location where visitors can observe the durability and longevity of our homes at a convenient location. Being in the geographic center of the state, we are a short drive for anyone visiting the middle Tennessee area.”
The Murfreesboro model’s team, Dan Smith, David Mathis and Tammy Taylor, continued serving Honest Abe customers throughout the longer-than-expected restoration and remodeling project, made so due to material shortages and delays. Molly Cooper of Honest Abe’s interior design firm, Cooper & Co., who was tasked with the challenge of the remodel of the two-decades-old building, explains in the accompanying article how the project was approached and successfully completed.

The Drummy Log Cabin
The Drummy Log Cabin in Indiana was custom designed for a family as a vacation home on their own farm so grandchildren could have the log cabin experience throughout the seasons. This tiny home uses space wisely. The first floor is open with a kitchen, dining and living area flowing around a staircase that leads to a sleeping loft. Covered full-width, 8′ wide porches on both the front and back extend the living space.
All our models will be decorated and open to the public for the holiday season. You are welcome to come by to see our log homes with no obligation.
