About this property
Shady Wayside - Cabin in the woods
Brand New construction Cabin. Relax at this 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cabin in the woods. Surround by the Shawnee National forest, you have miles and miles of trails to hike and explore. If you would rather stay home and relax, there is a fully equipped kitchen, TVs in family room and both bedrooms, shuffle board, covered porch with furniture, a fit pit, and a park style grill. Just a 15 minute drive to Golconda - you are close enough to civilization but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet
