Welcome to the home page of our web site.
The north view of our Log House is what you will see as you come down the driveway. The oldest part of the house was probably built in the 1780's by Pioneer Moats. We started working on the restoration in 1974. More than 30 years later we're still working.
In the spring of 2006 after heavy rains the North Bend fishingboat docks are floating at the edge of the boat ramps. This view of the lake is about two miles from our house.
North Bend Golf Course is three blocks north of our house. This nine hole course is open to the public and has both clubs and carts that you can rent; and a club house that serves simple breakfasts and sandwiches. For more information you can phone (304) 643 2206. Their address is 945 West High Street, Harrisville, West Virginia 26362.
