Cabin Sweet Cabin 2.0

The renovation of our cabin was completed in December 2021 and is now available for rentals. Cabin Sweet Cabin was our country second home for many years but with this renovation the residence has been converted from a small cabin to a substantial house. The moment you enter our cabin retreat, you'll be struck by the scent of fresh pine. The cabin is inlaid from floor to ceiling with fresh pine wood and the sweet, woodsy, smell will be with you throughout your stay. It is an authentic country cabin which has been modernized. The house now has a full HVAC system which means there is central AC and heat, an updated improvement from more primitive times. You’ll enjoy a beautiful house which still feels like a country cabin. Our great room has a new large rustic working fireplace (plenty of firewood available), full service kitchen, dining room, an additional living room with a wall of picture windows overlooking the mountain and queen pull out couch. Both bedrooms have been enlarged. The new construction includes a master bedroom suite, with a King bed and a remarkable master bathroom. Second bedroom has a Queen bed. There’s also a brand new screened in porch. . Perfect for a romantic getaway or kids will love our back yard where they can knock around a soccer ball. This is a back to nature locale for a couple or a family with children.
