Thistle Dew Cabin History
In 1996, Don and Leslie realized a dream by building a small log cabin on their land in Tetonia, Idaho. With the help of their 3 children and Leslie's brother Peter, they hand peeled the logs, notched and hand-chinked them and added a roof. The original log cabin was enlarged using sugar maple beams brought from Vermont and log infill.
In 2004, Don and Peter envisioned one more addition to complete the cabin. This included a dining room with an unusual and unique style of timber framing, a sunroom using leftover maple beams, an entry way and a bodega- a Spanish style "wine cellar" reminiscent of a year spent in Spain.
