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!

Housing Pricing for fancy Gap Va.
I am very proud to say that because of the planning, hard work and many sleepless nights we have accomplished our goals. That goal is to have beautiful developments that even during the recent slump in the realty market our lots and homes have held and even grew in value. It has taken a lot of forethought to plan not just for now but for the future, with great roads, well laid plans and years of experience. Our homes are not just for retirement or a weekend hideaway but for an investment in your future. One reason is the lack of available land such as we offer. We offer low mantnance high qualty homes and view lots that will make you think you are on a cloud.

I was looking around online for information about purchasing a cabin with the help of a mortgage broker and I found this interesting article. Thought you might get some need information from it:
Why Hire a Mortgage Broker When Buying a Home? By Phill Monroe
Buying your very own home is a very liberating experience. However, there are a lot of things that need to be considered before you even pick the house you are interested in buying. One of the first things that need to be focused on is hiring the right mortgage brokers for the job.
There are a lot of advantages to hiring your own mortgage brokers. Wherever you may be in the world, it pays to hire someone that specialises in real estate. They will help you make the right decisions in buying your very own home. They will be your middleman in the whole process.
Here are some of the reasons to hire a mortgage broker when buying a home:
1.They know how to pick the right deals for you.
Mortgage brokers usually have all the knowledge of the best deals that are available in their market. They focus on helping their customers get the best deals especially in this dire economic climate.
Hiring a mortgage broker is advantageous because the information alone can be of great help in financing your homes. Their main service would be to provide you the loans you need to make your home purchases. Also, you can negotiate interest rates with them especially if you are buying on a budget.
2.Hiring mortgage brokers will save you money.
While not all mortgage brokers may fit in with your budget, most of them are flexible enough to accommodate their cash-strapped customers. Searching the market for the best deals is a tough task in itself. Now if you count all the work that needs to be done, it would increase the costs you will shoulder by a lot.
Mortgage brokers have a system in doing their jobs that is why it is advantageous to hire one when canvassing for a new home. You can just sit back, relax and wait for your broker to give you the details of your deals.
3.They will help you in detailing the specifics of your deal.
Most buyers do not have a concrete and detailed plan of what to buy in their minds. They just know that they want buy something. The same is true when buying a house. More often than not, home buyers just want a home but do not really have the details to back this plan up. Here is where a mortgage broker comes in handy.
Mortgage brokers, through years of experience, have an idea of what their customers really want. They can say this just by looking at your status in life, allotted budget when buying and other factors. Traditional lenders such as banks are sometimes the opposite of mortgage brokers. They tend to think more of the bank’s welfare than of their customers.
The most important thing to remember is to always know the specialties of our prospective brokers. Some of them specialise in one area of the country while another can specialise on interest rates with regards to mortgages. Buying a home is not an easy task indeed. But hiring mortgage brokers will make a whole lot easier.
