You will feel like you're on the set of “Outlander!” Built for a circuit court judge in 1810 and 1840, these historic log cabins were moved to this site in 1975, when they were conjoined, restored and modernized into a cozy retreat with 21st century comforts. While secluded in bucolic beauty at the top of a hill, plateaux above and around this site are large enough for more structures; the top one offers unimpeded views as far as the eye can see. Two recently rebuilt rocking chair porches in front and back lead to the grassy, level yard. Inside, two large wood-burning stone fireplaces provide a homey atmosphere for reading and contemplation. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, living and family rooms in addition to several other small rooms, the cabin comfortably sleeps as many as 14. A perfect escape from the stress of modern life, yet the charming town of Burnsville is a short 8-minute drive away.
