Some 40 years ago, the cabin was designed, and custom built to take full advantage of the sights and sounds of the river pouring over the moss-covered rocks directly below.
The rustic cabin was the creation of Moss Rocks previous owner, Wilbur Doyle. Doyle was President of Doyle Lumber Co and he built the cabin to showcase the lumber his company manufactured. Doyle brought in 71-year-old master craftsman, Walker Diuguid of Irisburg, whos handsome work is reflected throughout the cabin including the wide plank oak floors, custom built cabinets, wide wood beams and stair treads. Diuguid spent countless hours using heavy wire brushes to fashion the interiors solid wood wall panels to resemble old barn wood.
The 1 story cabin has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen, great room, reading/music room. The custom milled-wide plank- white oak flooring is spectacular. In the great room is a full bank of southerly facing windows stretching from first floor to second story ceiling.

The three large outdoor decks are popular with those visiting Moss Rock wanting to relax and enjoy life on the river and surrounding forest.
