About this home

Welcome to this storybook log cabin perched on a mountain ridge. This charming getaway nestled in the trees is a secluded retreat for those seeking to refresh and renew their spirits. From the moment you enter the covered porch from the adjacent, almost level-to-the-porch parking area, you feel a shift of energy, like a big exhale. Upon entering the great room, you see to the right the neat compact kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances and ample cabinets. It is furnished with a coffee pot and appliances and all the pots and pans and dishes you need to prepare feasts or simple snacks. And, to your left, is an inviting wooden table and chairs for enjoying your meals or for just plain, good conversation. The focal point of the great room is the stone fireplace stretching to the soaring beamed ceiling. The sitting area is furnished with a leather sofa and chair into which you can sink on a cold winter's night. A flat-screen TV to the side of the propane fireplace provides a cozy setting for watching movies or sports. Just off the great room is the private primary bedroom with an adjacent bath with a tub/shower. It has a king bed and is equipped with a TV. Just outside the door is a laundry closet with washer and dryer. Overlooking the great room is a large loft/game room with another flat-screen TV and comfortable chairs. It is equipped with a large pool table for friendly competitions. Just down the hall is the second bedroom with a king bed and TV. A second bath, complete with a tub/shower, is adjacent to the bedroom. Return to the great room and enter the covered back porch with comfortable seating. There is a propane grill for barbecuing. Below there is a second porch/deck with a generous hot tub. Great for summer nights or for apres-ski. To the left of the backyard is a fire pit area with seating all around. A good place for the telling of tales and basking in the warmth of an open fire. This well-maintained cabin is a place where one can return to nature in comfort. A real bonus is that this property is the ideal combination of personal getaway and investment property. Short-term rentals are allowed, and this little gem has returned income when the owners chose not to use it personally. Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals is the property management company. Well-maintained inside and outside. This is your dream cabin in the woods and a fine investment.
