About this property
Secluded cabin on creek-Hiking, Fire Pit, Large Yard, Pet Friendly!
This spacious cabin sits on Castle Creek, nestled far back into the woods. You will enjoy the seclusion and privacy that you crave. The cabin sits on 17 acres with trails, a fire pit and plenty of room for kids or pups to run around.
The cabin features 1 private bedroom and a loft bedroom. Extra sleeping arrangements for 4 additional guests.
Enjoy the snowy or rainy days in the cabin playing board games, or watching TV. Watch the kids and pups play in the yard from the covered front porch.
The Unit
The living room is centered around the floor to ceiling stone fireplace and hearth. Gather around to play one of the board games or to watch TV. Snuggle up in the rocking chair to read a book with your morning coffee next to the toasty propane wall heater.
The kitchen and dining room are large enough for everyone to sit around the table to visit while a home cooked meal is prepared. Enjoy the view of the creek and woods out of the windows over your morning coffee. Grill out on the porch while relaxing in the quiet solitude of the wooded property.
