Why they chose this property
An upgraded Log Cabin layout that is in an ideal location and set up for family vacations. The neighborhood is quiet and serene at the top of town but also a short walk into town. No need to drive.
What makes this property unique
An authentic log cabin experience with upgraded modern amenities and appliances. We love the quick walk to town, the privacy and quiet nature of the property, the peaceful sound of the creek and the authentic log cabin feel. Its the perfect set up for our family and entertaining friends.
