A Legacy Carved From Cedar
Crafting Nature’s Artistry at Cedar Stump Houses
Handcrafted cedar creations inspired by a lifetime in the Pacific Northwest forests
At Cedar Stump Houses, we transform massive old-growth cedar stumps into one-of-a-kind architectural creations designed to elevate outdoor spaces and leave a lasting impression. Each handcrafted structure reflects a deep respect for the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest while blending artistry, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
Founded by longtime Pacific Northwest logger Lyle Abernathy, Cedar Stump Houses was born from decades spent working among some of the region’s most remarkable cedar forests. After witnessing the incredible character and beauty hidden within these massive stumps, Lyle envisioned a way to preserve and repurpose them into functional works of art rather than letting them go to waste.
Today, every Cedar Stump House is individually crafted from carefully selected cedar stumps, making no two creations exactly alike. What begins as a remnant of the forest is transformed into a luxury landscape feature, private retreat, imaginative play space, or unforgettable conversation piece.
We are proud to create custom Cedar Stump Houses for discerning homeowners, estate properties, gardens, retreats, and outdoor spaces seeking something truly rare and extraordinary. Each project is built with the belief that nature itself creates the foundation for the most beautiful designs.
No Two Stump Houses Are Ever Alike
Every Cedar Stump House begins with a naturally unique old-growth cedar stump shaped over decades by the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Because each stump carries its own texture, grain, size, and character, no two creations can ever be replicated exactly the same.
Our process embraces the individuality of the wood, allowing the natural form of each stump to guide the final design. The result is more than just an outdoor structure — it is a handcrafted statement piece that blends organic beauty with timeless craftsmanship.
From luxury garden retreats and private escape spaces to imaginative playhouses and unforgettable landscape features, each Cedar Stump House is designed to become a lasting focal point that adds warmth, character, and conversation to your property for years to come.
