A classic mountain cabin on over four acres with lake frontage on peaceful Lake Winona, in a setting that feels like the start of a Hallmark movie. The scenic drive winds past Christmas tree farms, rolling mountain views, and a picturesque waterfall at the dam of Lake Winona, leading you to this cozy 1-bed/1-bath cabin that is perfectly placed in its environment. With the lake surrounding the property, the setting offers privacy, calm water views, and a real connection to the outdoors, all while being centrally located to Highlands, Cashiers, and Franklin. Thoughtfully updated in 2024 while keeping its classic mountain charm, it is adorned with pine walls, cedar trim, and wood floors that bring warmth throughout the interior. A high-quality wood-burning insert keeps things comfortable on cool nights. Handcrafted details in the kitchen and barnwood ceilings give the home its character, while unique and carefully chosen lighting adds a bit of personality. A cast-iron claw-foot tub and a cedar-lined closet make the space feel both simple and special. A new metal roof was installed in 2025 to provide lasting security for the next owner. The spacious deck overlooks the water and offers plenty of room to enjoy a quiet morning, unwind in the afternoon, or gather with friends around sunset. Surrounded by nature and move-in ready, this cabin delivers the peaceful, slower pace that people hope to find here in the mountains. It is small, full of heart, and the kind of place that creates memories in every season.
