About this property
Historic Log Cabin in the heart of Detroit
The historic James Smith Farmhouse is one of just 2 log cabins that have been preserved in the city of Detroit. Built between 1820-1830, it is the second oldest house in Detroit. It has been lovingly restored, with some modern amenities, such as an updated kitchen and bathroom, while some of the original details have been left intact. Located in the heart of the Hope Village neighborhood, it is a hidden gem in plain sight.

About the host
Your host
Myself and my family are lovers of historic structures in Detroit.
Why they chose this property
Go back in time, somewhat, and experience living in a pre civil war log cabin that has remarkably survived.
