The Levi Trentham Cabin is located near the northern end of the Appalachian Club complex in the community of Daisy Town. It sits on the east side of the community’s main thoroughfare, Jakes Creek Road, on the parcel of land known as the Mayo property. It rests immediately behind the Mayo Cabin and a short distance in front of the Mayo Servants’ Quarters. The Levi Trentham Cabin appeared on site even later. In actuality, this single-pen, one-story log house is one of the oldest buildings in the region. It was initially built about 1830 nearby on the banks of Jakes Creek, residence for one of several families of subsistence farmers in the area. it is one of only two known mid-nineteenth century structures remaining in the Elkmont vicinity. The Mayo family acquired the log cabin from the building’s last occupants and 1932 dismantled the log building and reassembled it on its current location.
