About the host
Hosted by Darlene Witham or Ron Mashburn
White Squirrel Lodge was designed and built by John Henry Hensley with assistance from his wife Joan (pronounced Jo-Ann), sons (John and Matthew), brothers and brother-in-law. Construction began in the summer of 1980 when John Henry and John laid the foundation of the house while living in a converted school bus on the property.
They harvested the trees and the natural resources from their land and built this one-of-kind unique log cabin and now have opened it up to share with you.
Why they chose this property
Close to everything but still in the woods.
