RUSTIC, AUTHENTIC, HISTORIC LOG CABINS
Ever dream about 'a cabin in the woods'? Do you remember what a very dark, star-filled sky looks like? Remember your childhood delight seeing fireflies flicker on summer nights? Well, here is your opportunity! Bring that book you have been waiting to read. Leave the busy-ness of the usual workday and its commute traffic. Reconnect with your-self, your love, deepen the bond with a child or friends. Most importantly, re-connect with the natural environment that is so very vital and in resonance with the core of your being.
Our hand-hewn log cabins are situated on 250 acres of rolling Shenandoah farmland and nature preserve. From many places on the farm you will feast on the gorgeous views. From the highest hilltop we call Mt Grace you will drink in an awe-inspiring 360 degree view of both the Alleghenies & the Blue Ridge Mountains spanning at least 7 counties.
Each cabin was discovered in various parts of Virginia & West Virginia, dismantled, then reassembled on the farm with loving care and attention over a period of 30 years. The cabins, dating from c1775 to early 1900's, are unique with a variety of add-ons, ie: sitting porches, back decks, upstairs loft bedrooms, heating/ac and perhaps a screened-in porch.
Homesteaders's Cabin
Homesteader's Cabin sits at the top of the main entry road, several hundred yards from another cabin. Three small cabins are creatively combined to make one terrific cabin. The center cabin was actually found on the 'back forty' and brought to this current location. For 14 years this cabin was home to a Washington & Lee University professor who was/is a well known and respected nature writer. It has 2 queen bedrooms, 1 bathroom, the most modern and largest kitchen of all the cabins, a wood stove, front sitting porch and back deck with gas grill.
