Experience the Smokies from an Honest Abe Log Cabin

Scott and Sheri Schmidt designed their Smokey Mountain log cabin, Cabin on the Rocks, for relaxation and enjoyment of nature. Located high upon a mountain in the stunning Wears Valley, the cabin offers solitude within a short drive of Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Smokey Mountain National Park. The cabin is available for rent year-round.

The Swiftwater Plan

 

Swiftwater Log Home Plan by Honest Abe Log Homes, Inc. features cathedral ceilings, an open concept dining and living space, and a luxury bath with garden tub.

The 1,276 Swiftwater is the consummate plan for a young family, a retired couple or for a lakeside or mountain retreat.

A grand hall with a fireplace and cathedral ceiling has kitchen, dining and living space in an open design. On either side of the grand hall, there’s a bedroom with a luxury bath including a walk-in shower and garden tub.

The living room and both bedrooms open onto a deck wide enough to accommodate dining and entertaining with room for a hot tub or fire pit.

The plan can be easily modified to suit a homeowner’s specific needs and can be executed in log, timber frame or a combination of materials. The photo shown here illustrates how the one couple added two small dormers above each of the one-story rooms flanking the great room.
