Bottom Cabin

The Bottom cabin

At the start of 2004 dad with a great group of guys started to build the bottom cabin, but as they called it ‘DeTaHuKy’, Deane, Taylor, Hunt and Kyte.  Deane had a cabin in Mt Monsildale in Squirrel Creek state forest.  He had to remove it, so they brough parts down here and started the build. 

Allan always wanted to expand and build another cabin; he was tossing up different spots but stuck with this location as loved the rugged beauty of this spot bestowed.

This cabin and location have been shared over the years and provides a tranquil spot, which was important to our family as.

Not far into the build Tragedy hit.  His eldest son, Ben, took his own life……. 

As you could have imagined, it rattled us all down to our bearings.  This could have destroyed our family, but Dad kept as all strong and together.  We became incredible close and relied on each other immensely. 

Still missed dearly.

Allan had so much emotional energy he looked for a project to place it.  This is where the idea of the Restaurant came about.
