Aaron Paul has made a name for himself in Hollywood, but theBreaking Badstar isstill an Idaho boy at heart.
In addition to his estate in L.A., the 40-year-oldBreaking Badstar owns a log cabin-style getaway in his home state — in a small town two-and-a-half hours from Boise — which acts as a respite from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
He recently opened up the family home, which he built from scratch, toArchitectural Digestfor their March “Star Power” issue, where it was featured alongsideKim KardashianandKanye West’sminimalistic California mansion.
“I poured my heart and soul into this thing, as did Jake Arnold and Pearson [Design Group],“theWestworldactortoldAD, referring to the design talents who helped him turn his cabin into a reality. “I was pulling my hair out a lot during the process, but living in a place that you built is a dream come true.”

The focal point in the living room is a 13-ton moss rock from Montana, which serves as the fireplace mantel. “I never thought I’d get so excited about rocks,” Paul said of the centerpiece, noting that he made sure he was there for the delivery. “I found myself daydreaming about rocks.”
In the winter, they enjoy playing in the snow, and Paul has even been known to sneak away for a dip in the frosty water. In the summer, they go tubing, pick berries, hang out with friends and family and stay out of the way of their “friendly neighbors” — families of bears and deer.
“I lose my phone for weeks on end and take myself just . . . away,” he says. “It’s beautiful.”
