Nestled on the shores of Fishhook Lake in Park Rapids, MN, this beautiful home is a true testament to craftsmanship, collaboration, and inspired design. Built by Nicklason Construction, a family-owned company based in Nevis, MN, the home reflects the vision of its homeowners, Derek and Kathryn, who describe the style as “northern traditional” or “rustic-modern.”
Their goal? To create a relaxed, comfortable environment that exudes warmth and fosters togetherness. With Hilltop Lumber as their trusted supplier and the expertise of John Linkowitz, one of our dedicated salesmen, their vision became a reality.
Thoughtful Design, Beautifully Executed
The home’s “light and dark” color scheme artfully balances contrast and cohesion, pairing real wood and stone elements with an abundance of natural light streaming through large Marvin Elevate windows. These windows, supplied by Hilltop Lumber, play a crucial role in connecting the interior to the picturesque outdoor surroundings while ensuring energy efficiency and quality.
Superior Materials for Every Detail
Hilltop Lumber provided high-quality materials that enhance both the aesthetic and functionality of this home, including:
- Marvin Elevate Windows: Combining beauty, durability, and performance.
- Bayer Built Doors: Interior and exterior doors that elevate the home’s design.
- All-Fab Trusses: Ensuring structural integrity and precision.
- Diamond Kote LP Siding: Durable, low-maintenance siding with a striking finish.
- CertainTeed Landmark Shingles: Reliable, weather-resistant roofing.
- Quality Edge Soffit: Adding a polished touch to the home’s exterior.
A Collaboration to Celebrate
Working closely with Nicklason Construction and the homeowners, Hilltop Lumber was proud to contribute to this incredible project. Every element—from the trusses that form the structure to the windows and doors that bring the design to life—was chosen with care to create a space that embodies comfort, style, and craftsmanship.

Derek and Kathryn’s “northern traditional” retreat is more than just a house; it’s a home designed for gathering with loved ones, enjoying nature, and embracing a lifestyle of warmth and relaxation. At Hilltop Lumber, we’re honored to have played a part in bringing this vision to life.
