The Log Cabin Marks the Spot
Someone on Reddit found the location using property records:

Apparently, the Lot that Log Cabin sits on is PT LOT 1 GIBSON MOTOR CO.
Arthurdale
Since my name is Arthur, I was intrigued by the signpost pointing to (I assumed) Arthurdale. Indeed I was correct in my assumption. A little further probing and it turns out Arthurdale has quite a story behind it!
My two guesses
It's either this intersection, or it's not.
Pros: Intersecting Highways with Arthurdale in the correct direction, remnants of a driveway in the yard, Stop sign on a steep incline.
Cons: Lack of a concrete block building.
