Tuckasegee Cozy Cabin

It has only taken eleven years but the little log cabin at the top of Platinum Road is finally....finished. It's been five years since I first posted in August 2006 that it had taken six years to complete up to THAT point. Reality: an ongoing project. This humble abode started out as a hand-hewn frame structure that looked like Abraham Lincoln's childhood cabin. Wildlife loved the place, b.c. (before chinking). Birds, bats and bees found lots of places to perch and fly around. Mice too, had the run of the house. A contractor even told us of a bobcat sighting in the driveway. Fortunately now windows and doors are in place, and the cabin is chinked. Furniture and rugs adorn the place and make it cozy. There are even blinds and curtains on windows. No more orange heavy duty extension cords, no more green porta-john, no buckets of water needed to wash up or brush teeth. The cabin has electricity and true indoor plumbing, yeah! The log walls are massive-- their uneven texture and size add character. The stone fireplace beckons you to throw on a log. Come and visit! Sit on the back deck and view the mountains in the distance. Listen to nothing but quiet as you read a book in a comfy leather armchair. Embrace the darkness and count the endless stars which decorate the night sky. Welcome to Tuckasegee. C'mon and visit this area of NC...known as Western North Carolina.
