Hand Hewn Log Cabin Newly Renovated, rustic-modern design

About maureen

Welcome to Shady Grove! After many years of visiting friends and family and camping up in beautiful Door County we found this lovely old cabin in the woods. This cabin was built around 1880 in Kentucky and moved to Door County at some point in the 90's. We bought it from the original family. We fell in love immediately upon driving up the long wooded driveway one cold and very snowy February night. This vintage cabin needed lots of love but we could see its potential right away. We spent a year renovating it-gutting the bathrooms, adding insulation, removing and replacing the chinking and restoring the logs. The entire garage had to be cranked up to remove and replace an old rotted log. We added a new roof and removed overgrown trees that were casting shadows and suffocating the old logs. These are just some of the projects but the list goes on and on and we are still working each year to improve the cabin and make sure it will live on for our great grandchildren to someday enjoy. It's been a true labor of love and our family of five enjoys this beautiful property whenever we can. Our city kids have had the opportunity to experience the freedom of the woods, develop a true love and understanding of nature, and create memories that we hope will last a lifetime and be passed on to their own kids. We hope your family will experience much of the same. Unplug, relax, and enjoy. Welcome to our little cabin in the woods!
