About This Home

Public Remarks This charming creekfront log cabin retreat is the quintessential mountain home you've been dreaming of, offering a seamless blend of authentic chink log construction and comfortably appointed living, all situated on a beautiful, easily accessible, level lot. The property's exterior invites immediate relaxation, featuring a rocking chair front porch perfectly positioned for soaking in breathtaking pastoral and rolling hill views while enjoying your morning coffee. The entire rear border of the lot is defined by a picturesque creek, lending a soothing natural soundscape to the property, which can be fully enjoyed from the back deck located within the fenced backyard, an ideal and safe space for pets. Adding to the property's utility is a detached two-car garage with an accompanying single carport, offering excellent covered parking and storage solutions. Inside, the cabin boasts an open floor plan with two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, where the second bedroom is an inviting loft space, centered around a magnificent floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere.
