ABOUT

About CedarCoast Timber Homes

A custom cottage builder like no other.

Homes as original as the families who own them.

OUR FAMILY-FIRST DESIGN PHILOSOPHY is more than a promise, it's in our DNA. Partners and brothers, Bert and Patrick Bongers have built a company based on their unique, intuitive way of interpreting client wishes.

CedarCoast is a full service custom home builder, with successful projects throughout Muskoka, Ontario and around the world. 30+ years of experience designing and building homes 'on the lakes' brings timeless benefits to our customers. 

CedarCoast will show you how each cottage's architecture springs organically from family members’ lifestyle choices. Early, honest conversations quite naturally lead to a variety of floorplans, home designs and construction opportunities. The CedarCoast Design Team will suggest style and taste considerations that allow each client to go forward with fresh thinking, knowing that the key details are in the hands of builders who care.

Our unique ‘multi-generational approach’ recommends wide doorways, smooth paths throughout, open kitchens and easy access bathrooms. The signature CedarCoast ‘Look Ma No Steps’ design thinking results in homes that welcome everyone now and will continue to accommodate people of every age in the future.

‘Green building’ means exceeding today’s environmental standards to keep challenging climates outside but inviting nature’s spectacular displays inside. This is just one facet of the overall design spirit that makes CedarCoast Timber Homes unique among custom home builders.


Families considering how all this might work for them can take advantage of a ‘variety of construction opportunities’ , unique to CedarCoast, that allow prospective buyers to tailor the project to best suit their situation.

CEDARCOAST TIMBER HOMES offers turn-key construction management services. This allows you the opportunity to work with a single company from the initial design, all the way through to move-in. Alternatively, we can manufacture your timber frame or log package and work with your builder in any region globally.

Whether you wish to meet high levels of energy efficiency, have a home powered by solar, include the latest in home automation or simply create a seasonal retreat in the woods, we have both the experience and the passion to become your custom home builder of choice.

Let us help you plan your perfect home.
