Lovely!

The cabin was adorable! Very comfortable, private and quiet. Every time we turned around we found something else about the cabin that we hadn’t seen before, including this morning when we checked out! We hope to visit again and again.

If you like a different kind of rental, rather remote, picturesque, quiet and private, this may be for you. 1800's cabin atmosphere with enough modern amenities to be very comfortable. A good "get away from it all" place.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Wright

Host profile image
Ive always wanted to live in a log cabin. Tom purchased the cabin as a 20th wedding anniversary gift. Thus begin my Inn Keeping days. I’m a retired realtor, Health nut, honey gram to 8 Grandkids, beekeeper and a GRITS gal. (Gal Raised In The South). 2 years after we purchased the cabin I became sick and was misdiagnosed for over several months. Stage 4 lung cancer (never smoked) 4 months to live! That was 4 years ago. God is good and I’m still here enjoying the cabin. Its been a lot of hard work and I truly believe there’s healing in nature. To everything there is a time and a season. So here I am living my best life enjoying every second. Offering up my little cabin so guest can find the same peace and healing I found. I’m so blessed to be here, to own this little piece of paradise and to share what’s really important in life.

Why they chose this property

We spent the next 2 years cleaning up the grounds, developing a website www.Francineslogcabin.com, improving the cabin interior. We added the bedroom dormer 3 years ago, new furnace, AC, water heater, napping bed in the gazebo, recutting the original trails and septic system. The cabin was relocated from KY and restored onsite. All the downstairs flooring is reclaimed poplar wood planks. The stone fireplace was from one of the first mud and straw houses in Switzerland county. All the kitchen cabinets have hand carved Hinges and are made with reclaimed wood. Ive always been a big antique/junker so the cabin is decorated with years of digging and junking. Most of the furnishing came from shopping my own house. Once you turn down the driveway Its just a storybook setting and you can literally feel the stresses of modern day fall away. I promise you won’t be disappointed

What makes this property unique

Have you ever napped outdoors on a antique bed, or showered under the stars or just sat and watched the sunset? Peaceful retreat, romantic getaway, natural inspiration. Whether you need to rejuvenate and refresh your body and spirit, Francines Log Cabin offers a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere where you can escape the stresses of of life and reconnect with the people and things you love.
