Their efforts produced this Very charming home, (and property) which was completely Restored in 2010.Husband, wife & 9 children worked their small farm from this 1 bedroom log home. Out-buildings & barns, (from the farm) remain intact & preserved . (Some buildings are not accessible but provide fantastic photos). The cabin has been featured in local magazines, national wedding publications, The Fairview Town Crier & The Asheville Citizen Times,(chosen as Asheville's 'home of the week' July, 2012).The Cabin features 1 bedroom (downstairs) with queen bed and a 2nd floor loft with 2 double beds. *NOTE...Loft is up a rustic wood staircase, totally private, but not enclosed with a door.
