| How The Log Cabin Retreat Came to Be | |
| The Elliotts planned their LOG CABIN RETREAT with great care, preserving much of the natural setting. | |
| In the spring of 2004 logs for the cabin were still standing in an old “slow growth” forest of Douglas Fir trees growing in the British Columbia Cascade Mountains above Kamloops, B.C., Canada. (Slow growth wood is more dense and stable than other wood.) Craftsmen of Mountain High log home manufacturer in Kamloops, headed by Doug and Mary McCulloch, cut the logs, dried them over the summer, and built the cabin in a carving yard. Each log was hand peeled, scribed, and fitted tightly to the log below, with corners fitted in a Scandinavian style notch. Additional information is on their website <www.mountainhighloghomes.com>. | |
| In September 2004 the cabin logs were disassembled and put onto two trucks for transporting to the present site, where they were re-erected. With help of family and friends, Jim and Lynn Elliott over a period of 19 months lovingly completed all the finishing construction — and they built modern conveniences into this very special Kansas LOG CABIN RETREAT. It was finished and opened for business in March 2006. Now it truly is something to behold and to enjoy! |
