Outdoor living is just as inviting with a wraparound porch, an oversized screened porch overlooking the river, and a fire pit for evenings under the stars. The cabin has been recently renovated, including a new roof and HVAC system in 2025, plus additional interior updates throughout. For investors, the work has already been done.
