A Lakeside Log Retreat

With Modern Charm

One glance inside this Pennsylvania log home tells you that its owners are anything but traditional. Scranton natives and high school sweethearts Michael and Sara Grier have relocated far and wide over the years for Michael’s job. So when a site on Lake Shickshinny outside Scranton came on the market, they leapt at the chance for some R & R with family and friends.

The 3,600-square-foot cabin is constructed of 12-inch full-round eastern white pine. Ends are saddle-notched, with a double tongue-and-groove system of joinery on top and bottom to ensure the logs fit together like puzzle pieces.

But this is not your father's log cabin, by any means.
