Lake Tahoe Log Cabin
This rustic little log cabin sits amongst towering pines close to the shore of Lake Tahoe. It was inbuilt 1929 in Zephyr Cove, a small resort group on the Nevada aspect of the lake. The small cabin was lately put up on the market. Though the itemizing agent invitations you to “step again in time”, the log cabin has been up to date with electrical wiring and trendy home equipment, so the frontier life-style is non-obligatory.
The cabin has 475 sq. ft (44.1 sq. meters) on the bottom flooring plus a half-loft accessed by stairs. The bed room is up within the loft, over the kitchen (by means of the door underneath the steps) and toilet (to the left, off the doorway). The lounge, a double-height house open to the roof, is targeted on the tough stone hearth.
The cabin was constructed utilizing interlocking saddle-notched corners. There’s seen chinking between the logs on the surface, nonetheless, the within joints are coated by smaller-diameter branches laid within the grooves between the logs. It’s not clear if these branches are authentic, or in the event that they have been added later to cover the increasing spray foam sealant that may be seen in a number of locations.

The log rafters are supported by a log ridge beam and purlins. Solely the little doghouse dormer makes use of sawn lumber, suggesting that it might have been a later addition.
