About the host
Hosted by Krista Ruhnke
Phillip and Krista have been married for 35 years and purchased this unbelievable land in 1989. The home was meant to be the primary home for them and was built by a local man (who owns his own such home in the area to this day.) When Tombstone Pizza closed their headquarter in Medford, Krista lost her job and they moved back to Illinois to pursue better jobs. In the meantime, Krista's father was retiring from the Chicago Fire Department and wanted to move to the country. He moved in the home and acted as general contractor and caretaker for his last 15 years of a fabulous life. It would be a shame not to share this beautiful property with more people, and VRBO is the avenue to do that.
Why they chose this property
Krista grew up in a very humble log home in Wonder Lake, IL. They both were enchanted by the impressive log homes being built by a then-23 year old local man who acquired his skills at a Minnesota school for Swedish Scribe method log crafting.
Krista, Phill and Krista's father did much of the work on he home once the log structure was fleshed out. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this structure and that made it very painful to think of selling when Krista's father passed on.
Krista's father is the one responsible for many of the antiques in the home. They were inherited from generations of German family members, and refinished by him while working at the Chicago firehouse. These decor items are so at home in the "cabin" that the owners can't picture them anywhere but there. Come see for yourself.

What makes this property unique
The empty piece of property was an amazing find in and of itself. in 1989 these properties were barely noticed by the locals and this piece was owned by a man in Illinois. He won it in a card game! (You can't make this stuff up.)
Krista and Phill cleared off countless trees; despite Phill having never even worked with a chain saw before. Once the building site was clear they worked with a wood foundation company to start the construction. Never heard of a wood foundation? Google it. It's fascinating. There are structures in this country that are built on centuries old wood foundations; and that was before the technology of drain tiles and plastic wrapping. In the end, a wood foundation takes away that damp and particularly chilly feeling of a traditional cement foundation. It is also convenient for when you want to add outlets, duct work, etc.. See if you can feel the difference while you stay there.
