On a mountain in Brownfield, Maine, local craftsman Ken King is living a dream – creating unique hand-built Adirondack shelters.

"After years of working first as a carpenter and then also as a general contractor,
I wanted to explore new forms of building, other than the contemporary methods
of stick-frame construction. There is something about working with the basic
materials of logs and stone that feels right to me. There is an aesthetic to both
the process and the outcome that I find very appealing.” – Ken King

In 2000, Ken helped a friend build a lean-to using trees from clearing a pond site
on his property. The experience was so rewarding that Ken began to take seriously
the possibility of creating a niche for himself in the recreational log house market.

Crafted with local materials and an eye to the natural environment, Ken’s shelters
offer a special kind of place to experience the out-of-doors.

These structures are based on the concept of rugged open shelters found in upstate
New York, and along the Appalachian Trail. Ken’s Adirondack shelters are a cut
above – crafted with high-quality Northern White Cedar and White Spruce logs.
His shelters are built on order.

Perfect for the private estate owner, our Adirondack-style shelters offer a unique experience in watching wildlife,
 camping, hunting or just enjoying a quiet cup of coffee while you listen to the subtle sounds of the forest........ Bliss.
