A Custom Built Dream Come True?
Building a custom cottage can be a dream come true. But sadly, there are common misconceptions that building a new cottage is a stressful, overwhelming experience. That doesn’t have to be the case for you.
Picking the right custom builder is an important step and you should know that before you begin.
I can’t speak to what other custom builders can do, but I would like to share with you what sets us apart

A Lifetime of Memories Begins With a Custom Cottage
It’s easy to let life pass us by while we’re making plans to create memories. We know how hard it can be to transition from working towards your dream, to actually living it.
At Pine Creek Homes, we’ve spent two generations helping clients achieve their dreams of building a custom cottage and leaving their legacy.
The First Question Everyone Seems to Have…
The first question everyone has about their dream build is “how much will it cost?” While I think a better question may be “what type of quality and value can I expect for my hard-earned money?” We still need to have an idea of approximately where the costs will end up.
As you can imagine, the price range of a custom home or cottage can be widespread. There are so many different selections that go into a new build that affect the cost, and everyone’s wants and needs are different.

Are You Ready to Start Living Your Dream?
Are you feeling the years slip by without a place to make the memories you want?
With a custom cottage built by Pine Creek Homes, your legacy will be filled with memories at the lake.
The truth is… it’s hard to trust someone to build your dream. The hardest part is committing to a purchase that you can’t see or touch.

Not to mention, it’s often the most expensive purchase of one’s life— it’s understandable to have reservations. For this reason, we’ve worked hard to create a building process that is completely transparent and designed to give you confidence from start to finish.
At Pine Creek Homes, we make creating your dream cottage our top priority.
We’re second-generation builders who have been building cottages across southern Manitoba and the Canadian Shield for decades. Every build is overseen directly by the owners, and we limit the number of builds we do each year to ensure this is possible.
Our unique design and build process will take your vision and turn it into the cottage of your dreams. During this process, our design manager will take your vision and work with you to create the perfect design that suits your lifestyle and budget. Once the design is complete, you’ll be guided through making selections for your build—from flooring to light fixtures and everything in between—making sure every detail is expertly cared for and executed.
From there, you’ll have 24/7 access to all aspects of your build through our online portal. You can follow along with your building schedule, view your selections, track the up-to-date cost of your build, including all change orders, and check out the most current pictures posted by our project manager.
Your Cottage Building Experience
Many of our clients have concerns about the complications of building in cottage country. The fact is, building in cottage country is entirely different than building a house in the city.
Our clients Rick and Tara had an experience that may help you to understand how we approach this issue—
“It’s been a year since our cabin project in Lac du Bonnet has been completed. Just before we were ready to proceed with our new build, Manitoba Hydro threw us a curveball, and we had to change our plans. Instead of building a brand new free-standing structure, we had to tie it into the existing building.
From preliminary design to drawing completion to helping us with interior design, the Pine Creek team was awesome; they have the patience of Saints. The actual on-site construction project went so smoothly. The site stayed clean, everything ran on time, and the trades were all lined up perfectly.
This was our third build and second-time timber frame. We couldn’t be any happier. We have received so many compliments on our cabin, and we give the Veenstra’s all the credit, and tell everyone we know which Builder we dealt with.” ~Rick and Tara
The Whiteshell, Lake of the Woods, and other cottage country destinations have their unique challenges— fluctuating water tables, granite rock, remote access, clean drinking water, and preserving those beautiful 50-year-old trees are just a few challenges we face regularly.
We’ve built so many cottages across Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario; therefore, we deeply understand the considerations it takes to build in these areas. Because of our experience and expertise, we are able to maximize your end product and make the most of your budget.
We thrive on creating solutions to whatever cottage country throws our way. If you’d like more information on the differences between building a home and a cottage, you can LEARN MORE HERE.

Timber Frame Services
Timber Frame Services
It’s a lifelong dream of many of our clients to live in a timber frame home. Sometimes the difficulty lies in the decision around how much timber and what style of timber to use. And added layers often come into play with couples, who have different visions of what style of home they like and this makes it even more difficult, with one more decision to make, on whether to settle on timber or not.
One commonly overlooked factor in this decision is how versatile a timber frame can be. Most people are under the assumption that all timber frames are extremely rustic in their aesthetic. While they can be, they don’t need to be.
Timber frames can range from extremely rustic, to exceptionally contemporary. By changing the colour, style, and amount of timber used, we can achieve drastically different looks in a home or cottage. Timber frames can be as unique as you are, and are a great way to reflect your style.
The amount of Timber used, along with many colour and style options, varies from project to project.
On the other end of the spectrum, you can have accent timbers that add style and character to specific home areas, including a timber entryway, timber gable details, or some simple ceiling timbers over a kitchen. It may even be as simple as a timber mantle.
Regardless of your style, timber frames can be incorporated to make your dream home unique and different.
