The Cabin
It starts with the
creek and the waterfall
The creek runs through the front of the property, and the sound of it follows you all the way up to the cabin, which is set up the hill. This type of unique D-log style cabin rarely comes on the market.
The 18-foot stone fireplace anchors the great room, and a wall of glass under the gable puts the ridge line in the room with you. Covered porches on the front of the cabin, on the first and second floors. Seamless access to the decks and front porch provides easy indoor-outdoor living.
Three bedrooms and a loft, three full baths, a chef's kitchen with granite counters, and 1-gigabit internet make it as workable year-round as it is on a holiday weekend.
