Marsha was drawn to Appalachian-style log homes because she felt one would fit in with the ranch's historical structures.

A Place To Unwind
For Floridian Randy Jones, the fourth time's the charm. Randy built his first log home nine years ago. Then he built three more. Finally, he's created his ideal vacation home, complete with an indoor waterfall.
After Randy built his first two log homes, he changed his tack. "Instead of extremely rustic, I decided to go with an upscale log home," Randy says.

For Denise and Scott Miller, vacationing in the mountains with their two sones provided a catalyst that led to a slower family pace and adventurous new roots. "We received a flyer in the mail about a few lots the Cataloochee Ranch was selling on the mountain above the sheep pasture," Denise says.
"Cataloochee is a very special spot," builder Scott Campbell says. "The Millers appreciate the true history and craftsmanship of this part of the Appalachian Mountains. Realistically, we tried to bring it to life in every way."
