Hand hewn log cabin with beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains
Minutes away from Wintergreen Resort, Devil’s Backbone Brewery, Hard Rock Cider Brewery and many more attractions, sits a quaint cabin away from it all. Three Ridges Cabin has the best views of the Blue Ridge Mountains you can find. This hand hewn log cabin was constructed in 2008 for the owners and completed with a wraparound porch constructed by the owners, providing ample space to enjoy the spectacular views while having your favorite beverage. The Three Ridges Cabin was named from having a spectacular view of the Three Ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The sunsets have the most memorable mountain views, from the front porch and picture windows. You can have your coffee or glass of wine watching the sunset disappear behind the Blue Ridge creating a beautiful colorful canvas on clear evenings. The Three Ridges Cabin sits in the middle of eight open grassy acres, where an abundance of wildlife can be seen foraging and traveling from the surrounding mountains across the field and into the forested creek on the opposite side. Wildlife frequently seen in the hay fields surrounding the cabin in the early mornings and late afternoons include whitetail deer, eastern wild Turkey, bluebirds and hawks. If you happen to be there during the summer months, you may get to see local farmers cut and bale the hay, leaving picturesque view of large bales of hay against the backdrop of the mountains and sunset. If there has been a heavy rainfall, you can hear Hats Creek as it flows on the other side of Shields Gap Road. The road accessing the cabin is a state maintained gravel/paved dead end road, which is not too steep to require four wheel drive. The owner has ridden this road many times on a motorcycle, so cars are certainly safe! Three Ridges Cabin has a beautiful large loft bedroom, accessed by a sturdy solid pine hand hewn stairway. The loft includes an adjoining full-size bathroom with a shower, toilet and sink and long vanity including several large drawers and a sitting area. The most unique things about the upstairs loft is the rustic king size handmade bed made from cedar trees and handmade railing from cedar trees and mountain laurel. The loft has plenty of room including an antique chest of drawers and closet. The loft is open except for the adjoining bathroom, which is private. This portion of the cabin does not have log walls but wood ceiling and hand hewn log beams, with a ceiling fan. The downstairs bedroom is a small private bedroom accessed by two entry ways. This bedroom also has an adjoining full size bathroom with a tub/shower, toilet, and sink. This bathroom has a pocket door entrance from the bedroom with a connecting hallway with the washer and dryer, a small open closet. The queen size bed is a handmade log pine bed with matching log side table and dresser. The living room is small but enough to seat four comfortably, including a fabulous bench window seat which allows for a perfect place to read a book or take an afternoon nap. The living room is open to the kitchen area with a gas log fireplace in between, which is available to use during the fall and winter months. The open kitchen has a picture window where a dining table and chairs can seat four people. The full kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, glassware, pots, pans, and plenty of utensils. The kitchen is also equipped with your choice coffee pot maker or single cup Keurig coffee maker. Filters will be provided for the coffee pot maker. The keurig coffee maker has a capsule to add your own ground coffee without the need of Kcups
