I grew up without air conditioning in houses with screen on the windows, screen doors and an attic fan to exhaust the hot day time air replacing it with cooler evening air. I recall with fond memory my dad walking on the creaking floor in the middle of the night to turn off the attic fan because it was too cool in the house. I especially remember laying next to the window and feeling the rush of the humid cool air and capturing it under my sheet to make an air tent. That is something young kids today will never experience.

Everyone I knew has screen doors and they all had that special screen door sound when opening that you never forget. The old part of the farmhouse has screen doors and I love to hear that sound when opening them. Today it is in the mid-60's and the doors are open and fresh country air is coming in through the screens.

Most of the visitors to our log cabins will give nature a chance when they arrive and not turn on the air conditioning immediately. We normally have the windows open on arrival. Some almost break a leg to turn on the A/C to its lowest setting the moment they get into the cabin and it stays there whether they are in the cabin or off for the day on a day trip. I can understand if its 93 degrees, but when it is 75 I have to wonder.

In any case, for those that like a country break and want to hear the birds sing, we have added screen doors to each cabin. We hope you enjoy them.
