Golden State Log Homes, Inc. owners, Ken and Jaye Payton were long time log home enthusiasts and in 1980 began in earnest, the search for a log home company to manufacture their dream log home. It was about that time they found a log home being constructed nearby and stopped by to meet the owners and to inspect the home and see how it was going together.

Ken and Jaye liked that home and the construction method so much that they contacted the manufacturer immediately and started designing their own beautiful log home. It was their first exposure to the log home lifestyle and to REAL LOG HOMES®, one of the world’s leading log home brands. “We were so impressed with the product and its quality,” says Ken, “that we decided to explore a dealership opportunity. We were immediately impressed with the support provided to the independent representatives and their customers.” The flexibility allowed by the REAL LOG HOMES® system for building a unique log home, coupled with a wide array of styles, floor plans and log profile options, convinced the Paytons that through REAL LOG HOMES® they could successfully meet the needs of many future log home buyers.

From its humble beginning, Ken and Jaye’s business has evolved into what it is today, Golden State Log Homes, Inc., an authorized independent representative for the REAL LOG HOMES® Brand product line. To date Golden State Log Homes, Inc. has built more than 200 of these beautiful log homes. Today, there’s a whole family of Paytons who run every facet of the business.

The ongoing success of our log home business comes from experience and expertise in all parts of the building process. In addition to construction, Golden State Log Homes, Inc. is well versed in the intricacies of California and Nevada home building, including conceptual design and blueprinting, engineering and local code compliance, energy calculation and permitting. “The construction of your log home starts way before any earth is moved,” says Ken. “We use a thoughtful and systematic approach to the entire process.”
