From the Zillow listing:

 

Fresh air and woodland solitude surround this historic full-log house on 34.8 acres. A private bridge crosses Mason’s Creek to this getaway just waiting to become your full-time home, weekend retreat, AirBnB gem, or the perfect live-in guest house while you build a new dreamhome with a view at the potential building site up the ridge. This home balances rustic details like the local stone fireplace and heart-of-pine floors with thoughtful updates like PEX plumbing and all new double-pane windows: see the Feature Sheet for details! This property also offers the chance to own a true piece of history: a past life as a poker hall prior to becoming a full-time residence for recent owner. Loads of potential and a rich history! Less than 20 minutes to Salem, 25 to Roanoke, or 40 to Blacksburg. Peaceful location with Havens Wildlife Management Area across the road.
