Quinn Mountain in the Columbia River Gorge: Where you and nature are always honored guests

Quinn Mountain
log home life


Quinn Mountain was built in 1982.

It is a Justus (now Lindal) post and beam 3-story structure comprised of tongue and groove red cedar logs imported from British Columbia.

The logs in the home's upper level, weighing 90,000 pounds, along with the solid travertine rock Great Room fireplace are supported by a massive concrete foundation.

The property is 40 acres of mostly fir and maple forests.

CEDAR FOR MAN
- No other natural material known to man has had the cultural impact of the magnificent, enduring Western red cedar. From the cedars of Lebanon to Indian life on the lush, rain- forested coast of the Northwest. There the people of the cedars lived; the Haida, Nootka, Kwakiut, Coast Salish, Bella Coola and Tsimahian. They called cedar, The Tree of Life.

HAIDA CEDAR LONG HOUSE TREES - Trees were felled and split by whole families. Straight-splitting cedar yielded planks that resembled sawn lumber. They were brought to the chief's deck and distributed with great deliberation. The communal longhouses were framed of cedar posts; horizontal timbers were notched to receive overlapping planks. The wood's resinous oils resisted rot and insects, and it carved readily.

NOOTKA CAPE CEDAR - The Nootka soaked the inner bark in fresh water and twisted it. The braid was tied, women, wrapped, and made into waterproof capes, skirts, hats, baskets, and mats. Red cedar bark was strong, but yellow cedar bark was softer and finer. West Coast mothers made it into diapers, blankets or luxurious capes. Men twisted it into ropes.
