    Rustic log cabinMultiple porches
    Rustic log cabin with multiple porches and hot tub perched on over an acre of wooded property bordering the headwaters of the Cove Creek! Situated with all of the amenities of Boone, NC or Mountain City, TN within a 20 minute drive and multiple ski resorts and Watauga Lake in less than a 45 minute ride! Perfect location for a vacation home or even a short term rental to enjoy all of the adventure in the surrounding area. Step into the main level with the kitchen, living area, bedroom, full bath, and bonus room. Living area has vaulted ceilings and a beautiful stone fireplace with gas logs. Bonus room accesses the rear covered porch to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the setting. Upstairs is a loft currently utilized as a sleeping space but not tall enough to be counted in the square footage, but would also make a great office or game area. Basement has two more bedrooms with a spacious full bath and laundry in between, with one bedroom home to a second stone fireplace. Lower level steps out to the covered patio with the hot tub and privacy screen, overlooking the wooded mountains with the Cove Creek below with trails meandering through the woods. Detached oversized one car garage has a gravel floor with ample space for storage and a workshop. Don't miss your chance for your dream cabin in the mountains, come and see today!
