As a young boy growing up in Switzerland, Erwin Kollegger climbed countless numbers of trees.  And...he left his initials at the top of every one of them!  He loved trees and knew that one day he would build something magnificent out of them.  After leaving Switzerland, he traveled the world as a professional ski racer.  He met his wife, Carolyn, a beauty queen and TV commercial actress, in New York City and together they lived in some of the most beautiful places in the world ending up in a picturesque and pricey seaside town in Florida.  How did that happen when they had always dreamed of living in a log home somewhere in the mountains!  After 25 years there, and with five children yearning for exciting outdoor activity, the time had come to move this family out west ... to serious mountains and serious log homes.  That led the Kolleggers to their search for just the right log home company.

A dream that had waited so long, for a family so large, could only be filled with the most exceptional log home look, floor plan, quality, and pricing.  After looking at all the possibilities, from finding an already existing log home to buy (not necessarily the interior or exterior they wanted), to finding a pre-existing floor plan and hiring somebody to build it for them (which involved more decisions than they wanted to make), to building a custom log home from scratch (even more decisions!), they finally found their answer ... a log home company that would give them the floor plan, the logs, the financing, and even a preferred builder already familiar with the construction of the log package should they so desire to use them (which they did)! Southland Log Home Company – America’s largest log home company (shipping out 3 log homes a day on average) - gave them these exact possibilities.

With existing architecturally engineered floor plans to satisfy every desire concerning size and use of space, Southland logs are kiln dried which means all shrinkage has been taken out of the logs.  They are pre-treated in the factory, cut to fit, and the exterior styled in four log-stacking options.  The entire kit is shipped with doors and windows, all wood flooring, all roofing elements, and all interior partitions, except sheetrock.  Southland, being the world’s biggest log home company, will provide you a product of excellent quality, and the best part is, at a reasonable price!

All things considered, it was a fairly simple decision for Carolyn and Erwin to select Southland Log Homes and, being so excited about the product and the company, they formed WY Log Homes, and now represent Southland Log Home Company in the state of Wyoming.  They have set themselves up in stunning Teton County and have selected the Halifax as their dream log home!

Southland also is proud of their newest product – a line they call Solid Wood Homes – modular type log homes that are shipped with walls already built for set-up within two to three days!  These have an incredibly affordable price point that makes it possible for log home lovers to realize their log home dreams even in these tough economic times!
