Tucked among the trees and designed for relaxation, this inviting retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic character, modern updates, and easy mountain living. Wake up with coffee on the covered porch, spend afternoons exploring the community's private lake, river access, and nature trails, then gather around the fire pit beneath the stars after a day of adventure. Inside, warm wood interiors, vaulted ceilings, and a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace create the cozy mountain atmosphere buyers dream about. The open floor plan makes entertaining easy, while the thoughtfully designed kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas. Two comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide privacy and flexibility for owners and guests alike.
