Bearfort Lodge is the beacon for log-cabin lovers and those who have embarked on an adventure of restoration.
This historic log lodge was, at various times, a roadhouse, a restaurant, a hunting club, and a brothel. Now it’s a residence and a major restoration project.
Endeavors like this can be easily romanticized,… (more) but the author delivers realism and humor about the work at hand while offering up resources for readers to take on similar projects. Those who are ready to roll up their sleeves can learn how to make and apply their own chinking, restore, fix or replace logs for their cabin, re-glaze old windows, and follow creative and artistic projects at the lodge.
Interior decorating enthusiasts might prefer the photo tour that takes you inside this richly appointed lodge of impeccable details of rustic taste and style while gardeners will love the photo tour of the extensive plantings.
The author is intuitive with his links, leading the readers to vintage appliances, and even invites us to buy some of his property in the Pocono Mountains. As a treat, he teases upcoming projects in the "Coming Soon" on the right sidebar.
Those who loved playing with Lincoln Logs as a kid will go nuts when they see the real thing at Bearfort Lodge.
Regular readership of the site has exploded with log home enthusiasts and aficionados as well as those who are neither restoring nor building log cabins, but enjoy the regular posts of experiences of living in a log home.
