About This Home

One-of-a-Kind Log Cabin with Bigfoot Flair in Granite Falls. Nestled in the foothills, this two-story tamarack log cabin was once home to the author of Bigfoot: Myth or Reality. Bigfoot greets you at the gates & stands watch at the entrance, setting the tone for a property like no other. Inside, a circular ornate staircase links the main level bedroom, full bath, & living space w/a loft above. Built from Alaska’s toughest tamarack wood, the cabin combines rustic strength with timeless charm, enhanced by a new roof and chimney. On a quarter-acre cul-de-sac lot in River N Forest, you’ll find multiple outbuildings—including a children’s cabin, saloon-style shed, storage, & wood shed—plus room to grow vegetables in a peaceful, private setting.
