The two main floor bedrooms, full bath and laundry closet offer one-level-living with an oversized third bedroom, 1/2 bath and flex-space on the loft level. Open log beam vaulted ceilings and free standing gas fireplace add to the overall appeal of this cabin. Upper & lower decks, hot tub and picnic area provide an enjoyable outdoor environment. Don't forget to check out the chicken coop w/fenced run area and many trails winding throughout the property.
