A man made water feature also allows for the sound of running water to complete the mountain experience. Interior features include a blend of old and new to accommodate for modern living. The privacy of 10+ acres make this cabin a perfect retreat for writers, artists and/or anyone looking for mother nature's inspiration and beauty. The cabin was moved here in the early 1990's and has been featured in Architectural Digest, Mountain Living Magazine and several other publications. Outdoor enthusiasts will love nearby local hotspots like Secret Falls and the Iron Bridge but will also have access to trails, swimming holes and other adventures straight from the cabin that are unknown to many. Need to get back to civilization? No problem, you'll be on Main Street in 20 minutes for shopping, dining and more.
