The Perfect Site
This cabin is a mountaintop retreat near McDowell, Virginia. The beautiful mountain views and rolling hills
are a trade-off for the exposed, windy site.
Choosing a site for your house, whether on the banks of a pond or tucked into the woods, must take into
account your needs, as well as how the house will be used. Hewn-log houses look best when they appear
to be a natural part of the landscape.
