Looking for some solitude and adventure this summer? If so, a tiny cabin in Dry Fork could be just what you’re looking for. The cabin rests on a 27-acre farm and was built by architect Jeffrey Broadhurst.
The cabin rests on the south side of South Fork Mountain and has an incredible view. To fit in with the historic nature of the area, Broadhurst built the cabin with board-and-batten siding, giving the cabin a simple but elegant look.
The cabin is nestled beautifully between the Hinkle Farm’s cow pasture and a breathtaking expanse of mountains. This unique cabin is available to rent and offers visitors rural simplicity.
The tiny cabin is completely off the grid and light is provided by oil lamps. A wood stove provides heat and also warms water through a gravity system that uses a hand powered pump to fill an elevated tank. Broadhurst built a rain collector on the roof for an outdoor shower.
The cabin sits on four wooden piles and can only be entered by a ladder. It offers a wide glass garage-like door that opens up the cabin's inner space, letting in the breeze and expanding the view.
If you are looking for a simple but elegant getaway, this tiny cabin could be for you. As Da Vinci once said, “Be open to simplicity, for it’s the ultimate sophistication.”
