Yellowstone River Cabin

Dovetail’s second client who came from a commercial construction background hired us to build his retreat on the Yellowstone River, in the shadow of Emigrant Peak. A tall moss rock fireplace rises behind three re-sawn timber trusses which float below a fir tongue-and-grooved ceiling. Our skip-sawn built-in dining bench seat around the custom alder table made the finish crew—and now our client—very proud. Their kids enjoy climbing the reclaimed douglas fir ladder to the loft in the bunkroom, and fishermen dry off in the timbered, screened-in porch a few steps off the mighty Yellowstone.
