The interior features original hardwood floors and exposed log walls that transport you to a bygone era. Experience the charm of yesteryear without sacrificing the conveniences of today.

The house has undergone several expansions over time, resulting in additional structures being attached to the original log home. Which also added a few steps to navigate up and down throughout the first floor. The bedrooms were built in 1939, and the mudroom/bar area was added in 1953. They didn't have master bathrooms back then. The first-floor bathroom is closer to the kitchen and mud room. The combination of the new structures with the original log cabin creates a captivating living space with unique characteristics.
