DEN’s detailed plans took the guesswork out of building my perfect cabin in the woods.

- Nicolas Potts | Aframe House

★★★★★

When DEN came out with the Barnhouse Plus, it was exactly the design we needed, and it was also unique enough to diversify our build from the other short-term rentals in the area.

- Megan Moulton | Barnhouse Plus

★★★★★

I looked at several different A-Frame companies and spent a lot of time trying to decide which one to go with. DEN had the best style and the best all-in package, for sure. I’d describe the brand as modern, stylish, natural, and, in terms of the final product, ahead of its time.

- Major Parkhurst | A-frame House

★★★★★

On a scale of 1-10, from a customer service perspective, 10 all around and A+.

- Jen & Michael Penchansky | Barnhouse Family

★★★★★

I’m glad I chose DEN. The plans are beautiful and DIY friendly. I just wish I could build them all!

- Brent Johnson | Modern Loft Barnhouse

★★★★★

I would say using the DEN plans was much faster and cheaper than going through an architect for a custom set of plans.

- Ian Porter | A-Frame House

★★★★★

It’s a dream. Going the route of a traditional build using plans from DEN has proven to be the simplest & most affordable approach, as well as the easiest to get permitted.

- Stephen Proctor | Modern Alpine Cabin

★★★★★

Regardless of whether you're building a DEN as designed or just using their resources as a jumping off point for a custom build, Mike and his team are incredibly responsive and collaborative.

- Emilio Madrid | Modern Alpine Cabin

★★★★★

I bought a Den plan, took it to my building dept. and was able to start my build 3 days later!
