Amazing property on the Amite river. A true part of American history. Cabin was constructed 20 years ago with 150 year old hand hewn poplar logs from the early settlers of West Virginia originally a sharecroppers cabin.

Large fireplace is built in the pioneer style which is made of Arkansas river rock. Fire pit in yard is also made with river rock. Both porches are built with sinker cypress from Lake Maurepas.
