Scandinavian Log Cabin, Northern Michigan
These cabin rentals on the Michigan river, Pere Marquette, are right in the middle of the Manistee National Forest. The Barothy Lodge was originally a healing resort built by a Hungarian doctor around the turn of the century. It has grown until today it includes numerous cabins and a conference center along the snaking Pere Marquette river.
There are several Scandinavian style cabins, large and small, but I also noticed their smallest cabin is a little stockade style cabin! I have been interested in this style for some time and have been considering building a stockade style log outbuilding just to see how it goes.
From the Barothy Lodge website:
"From its original rustic beginnings many years ago, it has become an all-encompassing outdoor recreation and family vacation facility. People from all walks of life visit the historic resort and many return yearly, becoming more like family than visitors."
