John Oliver and his wife, Lurany, were the first settlers in what is now Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They purchased their land in 1826, and later built this cabin. The John Oliver Cabin is a popular stop on the Cades Cove Loop.

I love to stop there and sit on the porch in silence, thinking of those hardy settlers and their simpler way of life.
Interesting info George, lets see more please.
this is a place i would love to visit. i love all log cabins and this one is specail
That is interesting. Something so old and seems to be in good condition too.
It's beautiful---I hope I age as well. LOL MB
Can just picture the place in its heyday -- kids in the yard, chickens, the business of daily rural life...
Looks like a great place to not only visit, but a wonderful home to spend a few weeks in, escaping from the hustle and bustle of big city life. I just love all those trees and greenery...

For that time - - and maybe this one, too - - that's a pretty substantial cabin, isn't it? Can you imagine being in the mountains throughout the winter - - oh wait, you are! But at least we don't experience the isolation our ancestors did - - - snowbound - - -wait for spring for better travel conditions.
i hope its a tourist place. it look nice and cosy
What a cute place.I can see this spot being a favourite of many photographers.

I love to visit places like this. Northern California has more of this kind of thing than Southern California does. I love anything "old and historic".
I love log houses, and often wished to live in one (maybe I still do), but more along the lines of those built by multimillionaires in Aspen, CO. LOL
I continue to be amazed at how oftentimes large families lived in such small spaces. Not so much "stuff," I'd venture to say.
I like those houses. I watched "Little House on the Prairie"and this reminds me of those series. These houses are very charming.
Is this available for tourist to stay? I like this place looks very peaceful. Thanks for the visit!

I do like that chimney!!
I always like a historical place, it tells stories.
Rugged souls! Amazing things can come from humble beginnings.
I enjoy seeing old houses or barns wherever they are. In this case, the chimney was almost as big as the side of the house.
A beautiful paradise must be a delight to live there.Saludos.
Yes we've been there. But only in June after school was out. I want to return in the spring when the azaleas are in bloom. :)
I've seen this many times. In good weather it would have been lovely. In winter, not so much. :)
Looks very charming, this cottage...
It's hard to imagine today how people lived in such small spaces! I enlarged the photo but the log cabin still seemed to small for me to live comfortably in. :))
Olá, amigo!
Esse é um lindo lugar para passear e fotografar... a paisagem é muito bonita.
Amei a cor da flor (lírio?) da postagem anterior... nesse tom eu nunca tinha visto.
Bom fim de semana!
Beijinhos.

This looks like a fascinating place. Love the fence, and the huge stone chimney.
It looks so peaceful there. I want to live there :)
Lovely photo!
This is even older than the first White man who came to Sarawak in 1839 and became the Rajah/king of Sarawak in 1841.
Are you allowed to go inside?
Very interesting!
looks like a great place to find some solitude.
A great place to visit George. I cn imagine a great blazing fire in winter. Can you tell me the reason for the wood being stacked like it is. Is it fencing or firewood drying out?
What a Cosy looking wee place, I hope it's still in their family.
That cabin is lovely.
Gorgeous photo, George!
Happy VL's Day!
that surely is a wonderful tiny cabin, i love the fireplace.
That's a neat little cabin ~ and I love the rail fencing around it. Just wanted to pop in and wish you and your lovely bride a Happy Valentine's Day!
That is a very interesting and historical post. The cabin looks attractive
Wonderful hiostorical monument.
There is just sooo much history in your area! And of course it is beautiful! I can't wait to possibly relocate there and enjoy for myself!
Have a fabulous day!
And, I love your header picture by the way!!!
Wow, this lovely cabin has so much character and personality!
I would enjoy a visit here. How simple a house but I am sure it was a home filled with love!
The simplicity of life back in the 1800s always amazes me.
Wonder if it was better in those days. I love the Smokey Mountain area.
My kind of place! Love the fence too.
