    DEN customer reviews

    Stephen ProctorModern Alpine Cabin

    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.

    Major ParkhurstA-Frame House

    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.

    Julia ShermanA-Frame Bunk Cabin

    The final result is nothing less than stunning. The design is sleek, nestled into the back hillside in a way that is both formidable but also understated.

    Jen and Michael PenchanskyBarnhouse Family

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

    Emilio MadridModern 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.

    Kristie Mae WolfeCottage Tiny House

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

    Brent JohnsonModern Loft Barnhouse

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

    Nicolas PottsA-Frame House

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

    See case study
    Ian PorterA-Frame House

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

    Michał and MonikaA-Frame Bunk Plus

    Minimalistic design, beautiful graphics, professionalism. The fact that you made building it feel so possible.

    See case study
    Megan MoultonBarnhouse Plus

    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.
