In the quiet village of Ferrum, Virginia, old renovated houses such as this log house built in the 1900s demonstrate the lasting appeal and charm of historical buildings that have been thoughtfully equipped with modern conveniences for comfort. The cabin is an intimate and friendly place to stay. Its traditional log construction is attractive, lending a nostalgic air and at the same time, it is suitable for calm living. Being situated in a secluded area on about 19 acres of land, the cabin is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Virginian landscape and to enjoy the impeccable workmanship of the past.
The cabin is faithful to its original historic look with its old-time log exterior. The solid hand-hewn logs, which have been preserved and restored, emit a warm and inviting glow in the sunlight, and the land and woods surrounding the cabin give the sense that the place is totally secluded.
The cabin is in a quiet spot, along a private road where the quietness of the area can be thoroughly enjoyed and which also prompts one to explore gently. The natural surroundings of the property add to the serene ambiance of the cabin and there is ample space to walk around or just enjoy the tranquility of the country.
Upon entering, the cabin quickly surrounds visitors with a homey atmosphere. The living room, which is open-plan, has a seating arrangement that invites talking or spending peaceful nights and the sunlight through the big windows makes the wood tones inside more attractive. This area has been given a lot of thought so that one can easily relax, ideal for when you come back from a trip outside or just want to enjoy the peace of the countryside. The cabin’s layout is so cleverly designed that there is no space wasted, the open plan is flowing and natural and it is just right for a small gathering or when you want to be alone with your thoughts.
The kitchen marries aesthetics with functionality. The color scheme and basic cabinets give it a warm and inviting feel but at the same time, cooking can be made efficient by the right appliances that are there. The kitchen has enough capacity to do meal preparations without hassle and there is probably enough room for you to prepare a wholesome breakfast and a quiet dinner with ease. There is a dining area adjacent to the kitchen that has just enough space for a friendly gathering and with the cabin’s rural charm, every meal will become a memorable event.
The bedroom is a quiet haven with soft, comfortable bedding and it is a soothing place to retreat to after a tiring day. This room is warm and inviting, with light from the window and silence facilitating total relaxation. The cabin’s smart plan makes sure that the bedroom is more than just a room; it is a haven of peace where one can get the necessary energy for another day of fun and discovery.
The full bathroom was upgraded to provide the users with a high level of comfort and the clean looking fixtures as well as the good water pressure are two features that make it very pleasant to use the bathroom in the morning. The room is laid out in such a way that it is easy to use by the cabin guests and the beauty of the historic part is not compromised by the addition of modern elements.
Living outdoors, in fact, is the best way to experience the cabin. The porch area is where one can enjoy the peaceful woods and open space while sipping coffee in the morning or just relaxing after a long day. The natural aspects of the land give one limitless choices for a leisurely walk but the absolute privacy is what makes the quietness of the place even more beautiful, only the tranquil sounds of nature as your companion.
Cabins restored to such a fine standard are great examples of how it is still possible to revive old buildings and at the same time, preserve their old charm while incorporating the conveniences of today. The marriage of the antique workmanship with modern amenities makes the place look eternal and one is thus afforded a scarce opportunity to acquire a piece of the past in an environment of aesthetic natural beauty.
