Must have 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive! This cabin is filled with happy memories, very quiet except for a wonderful noisey creek, could be an artist's dream location. Wonderful neighbors and yet very private on 3.91 acres, cabin is down on the creek, however you can build behind it on the hill where most of the acreage is located and have a mountain view. This is a must-see cabin; the pictures don't do it justice. There is no laundry hook up at this time. Being sold furnished except for some personal items.
