About This Home
Inviting mountain cabin with VIEWS! The private, rustic-comfortable getaway you’ve been looking for: Take in the stunning views from the wraparound deck and spacious covered porch—or relax by the large stone fireplace in the expansive great room! The huge primary bedroom includes a full width closet plus lockable storage space, and efficient ladder stairs to the cozy guest loft (handy extra space not included in the square footage due to low ceiling height). The primary bathroom flows into the laundry area and has an adjacent half-bath as well. In the basement/crawlspace, you’ll find a cool platform fitted out as a workshop space for all your projects! You can love this home as a primary residence as it's currently used, or put it to work for you as a vacation rental as was done by previous owners. So many opportunities! Come and see!
