Grand Opening Special

Hi Everyone,
We are happy to have our cabin finished, but our timing could have been better. Most people including us planned their vacation and made reservations several months ago for this summer. However, we have high hopes of generating some rental opportunities with people who have flexible plans, or those who can on the spur of the moment quickly plan a long weekend.

We are offering a grand opening special where if you want the cabin between today and August 31st, rent one night and the second night is 40% off. Please call us to make a reservation.

Please bear with us. As soon as we figure out how to put a calendar on the web site we will do so to make it easier for everyone to know which days the cabin is available and which days the cabin is reserved. Thank you for your patience as we build the web site and develop are skills at communicating the information.

Sincerely,
David

Living Water Cabins Open!

The cabin is finished and it’s ready for people to come and enjoy the beautiful mountains of West Virginia. Whether you like to hunt, fish or just sit in a hot tub this is the cabin for you! Check out the latest photos of the cabin:

Praise God! We open June 1, 2009!

By God’s grace we have finally arrived at the end of construction!  We just made a run up to the cabin and it is about done. We are going back up to WVa in a week in order to put the finishing touches and set up the cabin for guests. We officially open June 1st and are now taking reservations. Look at the “Reservation Updates” to the right for contact information.

Construction and Our Hope

April 16, 2009.  We are almost ready to use our cabin and to be able to rent it out.  You can call David for details and the phone number is to the right.  The construction of our cabin continues and proceeds at a much slower pace than we would have ever thought, but the quality of the construction is there.  I guess the old saying “good things come to those who wait” may be true in this case.  We are sorry for the hold up to the hunters that have expressed an interest and those who have wanted to rent the cabin for this season.  The good news is that we have not written off late winter and early spring fishing. 

My family has had high hopes of being in the cabin for Thanksgiving.  My boys have never deer hunted in West Virginia, and this would be the first time for them.  I have not deer hunted in West Virginia since the early 70’s.  We have not spent Thanksgiving in West Virginia since about 1985.  You can hardly imagine our disappointment.

We also intended by this fall to start building another cabin on the same lot, which will be much larger.  We wanted to have the foundation done this month so that we would be up out of all the soft ground and mud we encountered this spring in the construction of this cabin.  We would have framed it during the winter and been ready to go by summer.  Does anyone have past experiences with proceeding with shell construction of cabins during the winter months in West Virginia?

Regardless of our plans and what in our minds seems to be a setback we look toward our God, King and Savior for guidance.  We trust that God has a better plan than ours, and we will be content with his pace.

Amazing!

The Cabin is looking amazing!  As far as construction is concerned, it is already dried in, so all the glass and doors are in.  The deck is built and it has a 6 person hot tub on it.

We have some pictures, but I have yet to pull them off the camera.  Check back for some more updates.  It looks like it will be done in perfect timing for the fall season.

Cabin Website

Hey everyone!

Thanks for your interest in our cabin!  It will truly be an awesome cabin up in a rare location in the heart of a national forest.

I am working on the new website now.  Check back often to see if we have put it up.  As soon as it goes up, people will be able to reserve the cabin for this fall and beyond.  Hope to see you soon!

Progress….

The construction continues despite all of the rain this spring and early summer there in West Virginia.  The building and a portion of the screened porch are framed.  The architectural driftwood gray shingles are going on and should be complete this week.  The poplar bark siding from North Carolina arrived last week.  We have in a warehouse nearby the 42″ wide x 5′-0″ Jacuzzi spa tub, the gas logs and fireplace, the oak hardwood flooring, windows and doors.  The deck which is off to the side of the screen porch and the balcony from the loft have not been framed as of this date.  The spiral staircase is due to arrive next week and the hot tub, which will be bought towards the end of the construction, is still subject to the condition of the budget when we can see an end to the spending.

I have made the journey to the cabin from Tennessee twice and get so involved in the construction that I haven’t taken the time to go over to the river and fish for the trout.

Walls Delivered

Hey everyone!  Great news, the walls and trusses for the cabin have been delivered and they up there now!

Woo hoo! The contractor will be putting them up very soon.

Construction Continues

Well, the construction continues.  We can now start seeing the actual cabin rising out of the ground.  Enjoy the pictures!
