The cabin is a wonderful place for a family retreat or couples getaway! It is conveniently located 3 minutes from a four lane highway and is less than 15 minutes south of a town that has a population of around 5,000 and 20-30 minutes north of a larger college town of approximately 35,000. The Cabin is nestled by a shallow creek and faces 25 wooded acres that are ideal for hiking and enjoying nature. The original cabin was a two room structure made from hand sawed logs approximately 100 years ago. It was remodeled completely in 2011. At that time the roof was raised- adding a loft room and a half bath/laundry room. On the lower level, a full bathroom was also added. The entire downstairs consists of a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and a table that accommodates 6 comfortably. The den has a sofa bed and a flat screen television. There is also a full bathroom with a walk-in shower located downstairs. Upstairs, in the loft, there are two queen beds and two twin beds, a flat screen television, and a half bath with a washer and a dryer. The loft is very roomy and comfortable, but the ceiling is lower than normal height near the exterior walls and at the bathroom entrance. There are two porches- one has two rocking chairs and a small table and four chairs- perfect for eating outside and drinking coffee while enjoying the sounds of nature and the creek. The other smaller porch has two benches and also has a creek view. You are welcome to enjoy the entire two story cabin. If you want to avoid a few stairs and stay on the lower level, you can make the sofa bed in the den and enjoy being near the fireplace and television. You will also find on the lower level the eat in kitchen (modern stainless steel appliances and a table that seats at least 6) and a full bathroom. The upper level - a spacious loft - has a television, 2 queen & 2 twin beds, and a half bathroom with a washer & dryer. The partial wrap around porch may be your favorite place- the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty and sounds of the creek and nature. I am available to answer questions and address concerns.
