This cabin was built in 1893 for the estate owner's coachman. It was the only structure to survive a fire in the 1920's and restored to its original condition in 1989. (source: Best Hikes Near San Francisco)


Adore this log cabin!

Notice the awesome window frames!

You can't tell, but it was raining while we snacked.
