Looking for an affordable mountain escape? This private 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin in the Walnut Creek area could be your perfect summer getaway! Perched at over 3,000 feet in elevation, you'll enjoy cool mountain breezes, peaceful surroundings, and the relaxing sounds of nature from the spacious covered porch—made for rocking chairs and morning coffee. Located halfway between Franklin and Highlands, you're minutes from hiking trails, waterfalls, trout fishing, gem mining, scenic drives, and everything that makes Western North Carolina a favorite mountain destination. The cabin has been enjoyed as a seasonal retreat by the current owners and features baseboard heat and a newer roof installed in 2020-2021. Bring your vision and make it your own! While the cabin needs updating and some repairs, the location, privacy, and elevation make this a rare opportunity to own an affordable mountain hideaway. Whether you're seeking a weekend retreat, summer cabin, or future investment property, this one is full of potential. Voluntary road maintenance.
