In 1992 our affair with re-constructing historic log cabins began. After a long search we found the Walatoola and Uplands Cabins in neighboring Greenbrier River Valley. Years later we located the Tall Timbers and John Lewis Cabins in the tobacco region of North Carolina. In the case of each cabin we numbered the logs, loaded them on a truck, and then spent the following year bringing them back to life here at Fort Lewis.
Dinner and breakfast are included for all cabins.
John Lewis Cabin
Click any of the photos below for an enlarged slideshow.
Based on an early pencil sketch, we have faithfully recreated a replica of the John Lewis house built in 1732. Two handsomely appointed rooms feature a stone chimney for wood fires, king size bed, TV, wet bar, refrigerator, walk-in shower, bluetooth speaker, and of course, a porch swing for sunset cocktails. Twin daybed in the living room can accommodate an additional guest.
Tall Timbers Cabin
A two-story log cabin puts you up in the balcony for that mountain view. There is a sitting room, wet bar, and twin day bed alcove on the first floor and a queen bedroom, porch, and spacious bath up on the second. A wood burning fireplace adds to the romantic ambiance. Cabin offers TV and bluetooth speaker.
Uplands Cabin
Rich in history, cozy and comfortable, The Uplands Cabin awaits yet another generation of adventurous travelers. This warmly decorated one bedroom cabin offers a private bath, wood burning fireplace, refrigerator, bluetooth speaker, and queen-size bed. A sleep sofa is available if needed for an additional guest. And yes, there is a porch swing here too.
Walatoola Cabin
The Shawnee called our winding river the “Walatoola.” This hand-hewn log cabin reflects the time honored skills of the early Scotch Irish settlers. The Walatoola cabin is a one bedroom cabin with a front porch swing, private bath, wood burning fireplace, refrigerator, bluetooth speaker, and king size bed. A sleep sofa is available if needed for an additional guest.
