The Jacob and Cristina Thunborg House is a historic log cabin located at Chicken Point in Hayden Lake, Idaho. It was built in 1893-1902 by Jacob Thunborg and his wife Cristina, two Swedish immigrants who became homesteaders in Idaho.[2] The Thunborgs lived here with their son, Frank, and their daughter, Lena.[2] It was inherited by their daughter-in-law, Frances Thunborg, who lived here until 1960.[2] The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 12, 1985.[1]
