The One Log House was built in 1946 from a single log from the massive redwood forests. Art Schmock built it on wheels so he could show his family back east the legendary proportions of these trees.

Art intended to have it tour across the country but ran into problems because of its size so it rested in Clam Beach for a time, then the town of Cummings for 25 years, and then 23 years in Phillipsville.

The One Log House moved to its current location in 1999.

Visitors can now tour the inside of the One Log House, which is cozy and similar to vintage RVs decorated in the same era.

The close quarters include living, dining, & bedroom areas just like any other trailer or motor home.

The One Log House Espresso & Gift Shop is located adjacent to the home and is a great place to stock up on unique redwood gifts, bowls, clocks, chainsaw carvings, toys, apparel, jewelry, souvenirs and more.

It's a lovely place to stop in and have lunch or a cold drink as you continue your tour of the redwoods.

The One Log House was created from a redwood tree over that was 2100 years old and weighed 42 tons. It's an incredible thing to see!
