As a result, the couple decided to add a guest house just behind the main cabin. To promote a sense of continuity between the structures, they designed it to be nearly identical to the main house—using 6-by-12-inch hand-hewn eastern white pine logs with half-dovetailed corners and a thick line of chinking—but on a smaller scale. The Jennings' visitors find all of the comforts of the main cabin, including two fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, a gourmet kitchen and a large deck, with the added benefit of privacy in the 838-square-foot, two-level guest space.
The couple's plans to expand did not stop at the guest house, however. Adopting the philosophy "You can't have too much of a good thing," the Jennings are currently moving forward with plans to add a 1,200-square-foot master retreat onto the main house. "It will just give us one more excuse to get away up there," laughs Mark.
Home Plan Details:
Square Footage: 838
Bedrooms: 1
Bathrooms: 1.5
Log producer: Hearthstone Log Homes
Log species: Eastern White Pine
