Many of us have grand memories of weekend getaway cabins, lazy days at the lake, rustic places with bears featured heavily in the decor. You know out there where it's quiet and the warm breeze rustles and you don't even care where you left your smartphone. But what if you could live like that year-round? What if all it took was a short drive in the country to have a weekend getaway every day? Turns out you can do just that at 143 Palmer Lake Drive. You'll find it by driving a lovely winding road seemingly way out in the country and yet, never more than 25 minutes from three Walmarts! But once home, who really cares about the 'mart? Your little private oasis starts with a level gravel road leading to a lovely three acre lot right on (and in) the private lake. More...It is well-stocked with fish so bring your gear. Rising up off that lot is your getaway cabin. Actually, it's a faux-cabin, a stick-built home wrapped in what appears as a log stack but is instead insulated vinyl siding. You end up with all the rustic appeal but none of the maintenance and insurability issues of log cabins. The green metal roof really sets off the log look and should keep you out of the weather for decades. The architecture is classic cabin-by-the-lake, with full length covered porches front and back and the large dormer up top. Let's head inside and look around. Enter in the front (street side) or the other front (lake side) and either way you will be drawn straight through to the huge, open, bright, airy and wood-clad great room. Of course there's a gas-log fireplace to knock the chill off winter nights. And of course there's a giant wood beam and soaring vaulted ceiling. And no matter where you sit down your eyes are drawn out to the picturesque lake with its resident waterfowl. The kitchen is open by a large pass-through so the cook is never cut off from the party. And what a kitchen al the counter space and cabinets you can stand, plus a handy eating bar too. There's also room for a dining table. Down the hall there's a laundry room with 1/2 bath, a full bath, two big bedrooms and the master-on-main or maybe this is where the mother-in-law lives? Whatever the case, it offers up lots of space and its own private full bath. Upstairs is the second master suite and enormous room that can accommodate tons of large furniture (like those rustic log bedframes you see in Gatlinburg) and leave room for a sitting area. There's also a ginormous closet and walk-out attic storage. And for that really special take-me-away moment you'll love the tub overlooking the lake watching the sun go down while immersed in bubbles and sipping your favorite beverage You get the idea. It's a practical retreat, a place you can live the getaway life but still go to work every day. A place in the country when your weekday life is still tied to the city. A place just for you at a price that is well within reach. Head up out of the valley and come discover your dream home today I'll stock the cooler and get your rocking chair ready.
