A log home from 1814!


This charming mid-19th century log cabin was built by Isaac and Louisa Krieger on land purchased by his parents in 1814 and has remained in the family since then. The Kriegers were among German immigrants who traveled down the Great Wagon Road in the 18th century from Pennsylvania and settled in nearby Bethania. The five-room Kreeger Cabin has a living room, kitchen, dining area/entrance room, and a full bathroom on the first floor, and one full bedroom and a loft on the second floor. Since its restoration in 2000, the cabin has been used as a guesthouse and family getaway.
