The family brought materials and designs to a carpenter who turned them into the doors and windows of the cabin.

They used chicken wire to fill the breaches in the cabin.

Here’s a panoramic look at the cabin’s interior.

The Aiken’s Amish neighbors used a fallen walnut tree and native white oak to build a harvest table. It was designed to be easily movable so they could be closer to the fire when it was cold.

The candle chandelier makes for a great light source when electricity doesn’t work, and the peaked roof allows natural light into the home.

The loft has a nice, comfy bed for a relaxing snooze after a long day of country living.
