Ken and Glenda Cahill constructed Wildberry Lodge out of full length red pine logs, hand peeled, notched and assembled by the handcrafters of Maple Island Log Homes (stained and chinked by the Cahills). Situated on 45 acres in the Great Smoky Mountains, this mountain lodge sits at 2700 ft. in elevation, and just minutes from downtown Asheville, NC and the Biltmore Estate.
