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.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and an ironing board.
