Nestled beside a picturesque creek, you'll fall asleep to the soothing sound of flowing water and wake up to fresh mountain air. Whether you like hunting, fishing, hiking, or you just want to un-plug, this property is an outdoor lovers dream. Adventure is always just steps away. The cabin embraces a warm, rustic charm, and it comes completely furnished. A new roof was installed in 2026 and there is a shed outside for storage. Relax on the deck with your morning coffee, spend evenings under a blanket of stars, and enjoy the tranquility that only a secluded forest setting can provide. If you've been searching for a quiet mountain hideaway where nature takes center stage, this special cabin is ready to become your favorite escape. This cabin has seasonal access. Once it starts to rain/snow, the Forest Service closes the gate and then reopens it in the spring.
