Outside, this home is the picture of mountain cabin charm, with its steeply pitched roofline, square dovetailed logs, cedar-shake accents and deep porte cochere. But inside it’s the epitome of modern rustic elegance.

The Holroyds splurged on many custom-crafted fixtures (like the lighting) for their home, but they kept the kitchen budget in check by using high-quality prefab cabinetry. The wide distance from the island to the sink is what designer Michael Grant calls “a two-butt kitchen.” With a span of 5 feet between them, there’s room for several cooks to maneuver.

The home’s modern influences are most evident in the living room. The stain’s gray undertones complement the stonework and are a stark contrast to the more common honey-toned choice. A floating staircase was one of Regan’s “must-haves,” and the treads pull in the deep chocolate brown of the hardwood floor. In the center of it all is a hemlock post, which was one of Scott’s requirements. “Michael Grant and the Modern Rustic Homes team did a great job of listening to what we wanted and guiding us through the process,” Regan says. “They made our dream come true.”
