Be sure to ask us about the left-hand back door, which is much wider than the right-hand door. Do you know why?
Sit on the porch in our porch swing and this is the view you'll see...Nice, huh?

A Peaceful Place - The Purpose
A few years ago, we had the priviledge of vacationing with some friends in Canada, staying in a beautiful setting, consisting of several log-cabin structures. Our little cottage had two twin beds, a small heater, and no air conditioner. God was so real to us there, and we were able to relax and renew our tired spirits. When we left that special place, a part of our hearts stayed there, and we knew we had to have a place like that in our lives, a place to retreat to. God has now blessed us with the opportunity to offer a similar experience to you, our brothers and sisters in the Lord.

A Peaceful Place - The Past
The original log-cabin structure pictured above is approximately 200 years old. It was moved from Casey County, Kentucky to this location in 1970, log by log. Some of the hand-hewn logs measure 18" thick. It has a tin roof.

A heart at peace gives life to the body ~ Proverbs 14:30 ~
"Did you ever go sailing down the river of memories
To a little log cabin that's nestled among the sycamore trees
Where the sunshine is cheery and nothing in the world grows dreary
In a cabin at the end of my river of memories"
