Description

Secluded Retreat! Go back in time and reminisce about how it was to live a much simpler life. This incredible cottage has been lovingly cared for by the same family for almost 100 years. Exquisite workmanship is evident in every aspect of the house from the shiplap walls and ceilings, to the built-in cabinetry that still opens and closes perfectly as if it was just built yesterday.

Go back in time and reminisce about how it was to live a much simpler life. This incredible cottage has been lovingly cared for by the same family for almost 100 years. Exquisite workmanship is evident in every aspect of the house from the shiplap walls and ceilings, to the built-in cabinetry that still opens and closes perfectly as if it was just built yesterday. This beautifully situated home overlooks a lovely backyard and meadow, along Upper Shaw's Fork stream from the covered back porch, and a view to the National Forest from the front porch. There is an old but usable wood cook stove, and a parlor stove as well. Water is from a hand-dug well with a working hand pump. The well dates back to 1925 when the house was built and still provides. So much charm and potential for a fantastic family getaway or wonderful hunting cabin. Several outbuildings and a small barn along with a working privy.
