Designed as a weekend retreat for a family from the suburbs of Washington, D.C., The Shack at Hinkle Farm sits on the southern slope of South Fork Mountain in West Virginia.
With no electricity, the family relies on oil lamps for light and a small wood stove for heat; rain water is collected from the roof for the outdoor shower. An aluminum and glass garage door opens to a cantilevered wooden deck, where a removable canvas awning offers shade and shelter.
Part of a much larger homestead, the 27-acre site was said to be farmed by the Hinkle Family in early 1900's. There is no ghost of Bill Hinkle in the abandoned farmhouse and family cemetery on the site.
