From the Zillow listing:
This home is a true marvel of history, frozen in time, lovingly maintained, and located in a very convenient area of Watauga County. There is something magical about this place, a comforting desire that draws you in and makes you feel at home. Built around 1888 (or 1848 according to some stories), this log home sits on about one acre of flat land and has been expanded upon since it was originally built. These additions complement the original simple log home floor plan. Think of what this home has seen in the past 133+ years! The main home has two bedrooms and one and one-half baths with an updated kitchen and bathrooms. There is even a washer and dryer upstairs, something that definitely was not there when it was originally built! The additional guest cottage on the property is a true gem and has been extensively updated. Step out either back door, have a seat by around the campfire and enjoy the sound of the nearby river and ponds. Both are powerhouse vacation rentals, grossing around $80,000/year. The sellers rent the homes together for larger groups, and separately as well. Sold furnished with a few personal exceptions. No drive-by’s, homes are usually rented.
