Rustic Log Cabin next to the Hoosier National Forest in the Ohio River Valley

My stepfather, Greg Etienne, was very well known in the Southern Indiana community. A logger by day and a coon hunter by night and a friend to everyone. While logging, Greg would come across old barns that had these hand hued logs as their structure. Some of these logs date back to the 1800s. He would carefully dismantle them, transport them, and reconstruct them into the cabins you see around the Derby area today. The popularity of these cabins quickly became a family hobby. Our family built many cabins and two of them can be seen from the front deck of this one. Since then, Greg has passed due to a tumor he developed in his brain. 16 years after we built this cabin and many changes in ownership, my fiancee’ and I had the opportunity to purchase it in November 2017. Needless to say there is a lot of sentimental value and pride that comes with it. We frequently stay, but also rent it out to share the beauty, tranquility, and dreams of my stepfather with everyone that is looking for some rest and relaxation. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
