Family Log Cabin in Pinetop Arizona


This web site is a photo album of a log cabin. Our family has owned the land for 20 years and in 1999 we decided to build a log cabin. The photographs you see here are the finished product. 


It all begins with a vacant lot. Three lots in fact, purchased in 1979. This is a photograph taken in the summer of 1998. The view you see here is where the cabin will ultimately be built. Note the arches made by the oak trees. The photos on this first page are of the finished cabin. Scroll down to the bottom of this first page for the link to the photographs that show the building process from July to December 1999. The family crew has literally done everything: staining/sealing logs, caulking, staining boards for walls and ceilings, installing complete bathrooms, trimming, complete furnishings, and moving rocks. Several enhancements included the mantel piece, steps for the spiral staircase, shelves, doors, driveway markers, and lots of little ticky tacky stuff.

Nestled in the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in the world, this log cabin is a great escape to the high country. Surrounded by scrub oak, pine and aspin trees, this cabin is close to fishing, hiking, the Apache Ski Resort (Sunrise), and the Hon Dah gaming casino. Just a few minutes from a beautiful public golf course, this retreat is a real treat. Mouse click on the image to the right and go to the Sunrise Park home page. Here you will see spectacular pictures of the area and details about skiing and events on the Apache Indian reservation ski area. 



Pinetop Lakes Golf and Country Club is a par 63, magnificant 18 holes open to the public. The Club is five minutes from the cabin and tee times are readily available. The clubhouse also features a great lunch buffet. Bring your driver. Seven holes have long and open fairways. Mouse click on the image and see a picture of the second hole, a beautiful par 3 over the water.
