Mountain Light started as a passion project and grew into something we worked on for over a decade. The historic original cabin--now the heart of the house with the kitchen, one bathroom and sleeping loft--lent itself to an addition and improvement. When the large, two-story addition was added in 2013, we knew we had taken the space from 'rustic' to somewhere special. However, we had no idea how fantastic and special each of the rooms would become until a master carpenter and three timber framers joined forces and let their imagination run wild.
The old original log walls and foundation were kept and restored to their glory and live edge, real wood, custom builds in-fill the rest of the space. From the kitchen to the loft stairs; from the flooring to the beams, care and time were taken to pick the right pieces of wood for each space and work with the trees that they were to create a space that truly mirrors and gives thanks to the forest that surrounds it.
Please note that this cabin is at the end of a 3/4 mile, bumpy, sometimes muddy, gravel road. Small two-wheeled vehicles can make it to the cabin, but four wheel drives have an easier time. There is also a lovely 1/2 mile walking trail that connects from our main office parking lot to the cabin.
- 0.2 miles to Martin's Fork Trailhead (used for Gray's Arch access)
- 0.75 miles to the Nada Tunnel
- 0.75 miles to the Red River
- 4 miles to the Daniel Boone Coffee Shop
- 6 miles to Miguel's Pizza and Natural Bridge State Park
