Your
Home In the Woods
The Log House Homestead is built and
decorated to reflect a house that would have belonged to
an established tradesman in the 1800s. It is a ten year
dream and work of your hosts. Different species of native
woods are used throughout this structure. All windows and
door trims are cherry. The exterior/interior board and
batten doors are walnut. Wallboards and staircases are
white oak, red oak, beech, hickory, cherry and maple.
Floors and window sashes are white pine.
| This two-story hand hewn log
house is your domain. It is not listed in the
National Register of Historic Places. It’s
new but authentically constructed the "old
way". Old it seems because of the hand-made
tin wall scones and the iron door thumblatches
and straps.The wide pine |
floorboards are held down
with cut nails. The massive wall logs are all
cut, hewned and notched from trees in the nearby
woods.
Within in the house...
On main level is the "great room", a
living, dining, study area with a large
stone-faced fireplace. Period furniture and
textiles are used through this house, giving you
a feel of life 175 years ago. |
