We were traveling down the Parkway and needed an overnight. We’d passed Lonesome Pine many times and never had occasion to stay so we wheeled in and they had one cabin left! We took # 12 after a friendly check in ( and a peak at the cabin before renting).
The cabin had a queen bed ( reasonably comfortable mattress but flat pillows). The TV is not cable or satelitte – antenna only – but got about a dozen stations. The remote CD/Radio/Stereo was very nice. There was also a DVD/VCR player.
The kitchenette was clean and well-stocked. Read more…
Box Like Dwelling Made of Small Logs
Ok, so that may have been the advertisement for a log cabin for sale of many years ago! We’ve come a long way since the beginnings of log cabin creation!
Log Cabin, a box-like dwelling made of small logs. The log cabins of the American pioneers were simple in construction because trees were their only building material, and the ax, adz, and auger were their only tools.
The log cabin became a symbol of frontier life.
The typical log cabin was a small, one-room hut with one door and perhaps one or more small windows. The spaces between the logs were packed with mud to keep out the wind and cold. Because there were no nails the logs were fastened with notched ends, or with wooden pegs. The roof was made of overlapping rows of short boards. The floor was hard-packed clay. The window openings were covered with oiled paper to let in a little light. The room was heated by an open fireplace that also served as the cookstove.
MountainLandVirginia.com has three beautiful and very modern log cabins for sale with Jacuzzi tubs and huge brick fireplaces! Check out our cabin information pages. You may want to make a trip to the mountains to see one of these for yourself!
