The house was built in 1947 by Bynum Penland when he returned from duty during World War II. The property was given to Bynum by his father as a wedding gift. With little money to work with, Bynum and his family members harvested timber from the mountain located at the back of the property. They milled it into lumber with a small portable saw. The timbers that make up the structural part of the house are the original boards cut by Bynum and his brothers and neighbors. The hardwood floors seen throughout the cottage are all original, installed during the original phase of construction.
