Description

First time on the market in over 20 years- A wood-lover's home, with Chestnut, Cherry and Pine accents. This home has many good memories from the owners and past renters; maybe that's because the original cabin is reminiscent of 'Old Highlands,' which exudes charm and grace. The extra-long covered porch is where most 'live' in the summer. The sound of the stream is mesmerizing, or you can venture a few steps to the fire pit situated right by the stream. The living area is spacious and the split floor...First time on the market in over 20 years- A wood-lover's home, with Chestnut, Cherry and Pine accents. This home has many good memories from the owners and past renters; maybe that's because the original cabin is reminiscent of 'Old Highlands,' which exudes charm and grace. The extra-long covered porch is where most 'live' in the summer. The sound of the stream is mesmerizing, or you can venture a few steps to the fire pit situated right by the stream. The living area is spacious and the split floor plan makes it easy for two couples to share without getting into each other's way. There are three rooms with access to the covered porch. Great internet and a wonderful walking area. Easy access any time of year. This home has A/C, but you rarely need it because it's cooler by the stream. Once you're at Norton Creek Lodge, you won't want to go anywhere else.
