Cabin Cove By the River

Take a step back in time when you enter our little log cabin by the river. Built in 1949, this cabin is a replica of the log cabins built by the gold seekers of Alaska.

The inspiration for the cabin was found by my great grandfather who spent time in Alaska working on the Alcan highway.
