ALONG a bend in the
CREEK
with Ron & Faye Mahaffey
In a recent issue of Salt, I wrote about the A-Frame cabin my grandfather built as a weekend get-away, using reclaimed material for the supplies. It has long been my dream to build my own weekend cabin someday. I always imagined my little cabin to be set back in the woods, far from my current home. I believed this would be the best way to enjoy my little cabin, but maybe I was wrong.

After the article about my grandfather’s cabin was printed, I began hearing from many readers who told me about interesting cabins of which they knew. Again and again, the same cabin was mentioned. It was a cabin built by Ron and Faye Mahaffey of Wilmington. Instead of creating a get-away that they had to drive to to enjoy, they built one directly on their property at the back of the same land as the home they occupy. I visited the Mahaffey’s and was immediately charmed by the little cedar-sided cabin.
