Inside you’ll find warm wood walls, a cozy living space with a gas fireplace with stone hearth, efficient kitchenette, comfortable bedroom, and full bathroom. New Metal roof, new windows, new mini split HVAC system and solid construction make this cabin move-in ready and easy to maintain. Level parking area and plenty of room to expand.
