Lovely Log. Nestled at the edge of a tranquil meadow, among towering pines and cedars, this romantic Log Cabin is reminiscent of yesteryear. 2 Bedrooms, 1 full bath the ultimate mountain retreat. The spacious wraparound decks, partially covered for year-round enjoyment, is a perfect place to watch deer wandering through the grassland along the nearby meandering seasonal creek. Inside, an open-concept living area features a focal point, cozy wood-burning stove for winter nights. The primary bedroom faces the peaceful meadow, while the second bedroom includes laundry hookups in a closet for added convenience. A sturdy ladder leads to a bonus loft space, perfect for a potential creative retreat, guest quarters or just storage. Recent upgrades include a newer tankless water heater and brand new septic leach lines (2024), ensuring comfort and peace of mind. Whether you're seeking a full-time escape or a weekend haven, this inviting log cabin blends rustic charm, modern updates, and flexible living space in a truly idyllic setting.
