Modern Rustic Retreat
Inside, the home offers a balance of comfort and recreation. The beautifully appointed master bedroom and bath provide a peaceful private retreat, while thoughtfully designed living areas encourage gathering and relaxation. A stylish billiards room adds a touch of fun, ensuring the home is as enjoyable for entertaining as it is for unwinding.

Indoor and outdoor spaces flow together naturally, inviting guests to enjoy porches, views, and the surrounding landscape. The result is a welcoming retreat that delivers a complete Modern Rustic living experience.
MRH did an amazing job on our lake home. The home site was very challenging, with a 30 foot drop in elevation from front to back, a fairly small and odd-shaped footprint and significant build restrictions. They designed a spectacular home using every square inch of buildable land that incorporated all of our criteria and maximized the lake view from every angle. As a first-time home builder I really appreciated their guidance and extensive knowledge throughout the process — they often thought of things that hadn’t crossed my mind, or were able to improve the ideas I did have. They had experience using the best subcontractors and finest materials, and never cut corners or skimped on any aspect of the project. I had complete faith in the entire team — from architect to build team — that I was getting their best effort. Any issues that did arise throughout the process were handled to my full satisfaction. Their attention to detail is unbelievable — they would redo things I hadn’t even noticed. My architect visited the site one day and decided that the wooden gate that was made to provide access to the deck was not up to snuff. Without even asking me he had a new one build then repurposed the old one into a awesome piece of yard decor with our address on it. The project was completed on time once the foundation issues, which were identified early on, were resolved. The budget increased only due to decisions and changes we made as the home was being built/finished. The only negative part of the project was that I chose to use my own stone guy for marble/granite in the kitchen and bathrooms. My builder was very accommodating but the contractor I selected was not as good as the contractors my builder brought in. I should have used their guy!
So I totally loved MRH — and plan to use them again soon as I redo the basement in my primary residence.
