About Creative Log Cabins

Creative Log Cabins has designed, built, and provided material packages for log cabins throughout Northeast Wisconsin with each cabin or second home designed specifically with the input of the future owner.

At Creative Log Cabins we specialize in custom milled log cabins. 
Our qualified designer has designed hundreds of log cabins that have been built, not just in northeast Wisconsin, but all over the Midwest. We specialize in designing log cabins with many considerations.  Some of those include, lot shape, size and location, panoramic views, budget, and the owners specific needs.  In our custom designs we feel it important to maximize quality and minimize the overall cost of the home.  We also offer a variety of standard plans to choose from and can customize any of them to fit specific needs.

Creative Log Cabins takes pride in establishing close relationships with their customers.
In working closely with you to achieve the best possible results. We are committed to providing quality workmanship that is above our competition. As a builder in the north woods we have to be very versatile in the building trade. This I believe makes for an all around building crew that takes pride in their work.

Creative Log Cabins goal:
“I want all owners of one my log cabins to enjoy the building process from start to finish. As owner, I participate and oversee every aspect of the building process. Unlike many log builders I am onsite building along with my crew"

What people are saying about Creative Log Cabins:

"Whether your thinking of building a home, cottage, or retirement home, please read on. We thought of building a cottage about a year ago and saw the advertisement in one of the Up North Realtor Guides for Creative Log Cabins. Our family met with Shawn Oberleitner (owner of Creative Log Cabins) and started the process to building our dream cottage.

The first time we met with Shawn was in January of 2007. It was a rainy & dreary day to go out and look at our property with Shawn; however, he made us feel welcomed and showed us other cabins that same afternoon that he had built throughout his years of business and took his time explaining how the building process would go and from that start we gave him our plans we had drawn up ourselves to have the plans made into blueprints.

We felt that he would go above and beyond with his time and experience in building our dream and help make this a reality. Through building Shawn and his crew made us welcomed and informed us on what to expect next. We would often see the crew and Shawn on weekends to complete some of the work that they could not get done during the week due to other job sites they were working on.

Our cottage is complete now, it is extremely beautiful and we are so pleased with the outcome of the whole building process. We are so happy that our dream is now a reality.

We would recommend Creative Log Cabins to our family and friends. This was our first time building and we know we would build again. When you choose Creative Log Cabins you not only will get a builder but will also get a person and his crew that are very experienced, caring and take pride in what they do for other’s. To our family we had such a wonderful experience with Creative Log Cabins. We thank each person that helped us make our dream a reality."

"We have had the best experiencing building with Shawn and his team. They completed the work on time (even ahead of schedule!), and were very professional. Shawn communicated well, kept us informed all the time, we felt that Shawn "had our back" during the whole process. Our cabin is absolutely beautiful- we are so pleased with the results. This was our first time building, and it went smooth- so smooth that we would consider building a log cabin with Shawn again! Shawn went above and beyond for us, from going to Green Bay to get some rock for the woodstove, to jumping our car when the battery went dead. We highly recommend Shawn and Creative log cabins, for any building needs."

"I would like to thank Shawn Oberleitner, his crew, and all contractors at Creative Log Cabins. It has been a life long dream for my husband to have a log home built on our land for retirement.

Unfortunately, Al had to quit working in May because of Cancer. The crew from CLH worked long hours to get this beautiful dream home built, so Al could come home from the nursing home. The craftsman ship is Excellent!

Shawn was here for every step. They are the best! We appreciate all the sacrifices Shawn, his crew and their families made to get our home done. They went “above and beyond”. God Bless them all!"
