This Log cabin defines "mountain home". Handicap Accessible! Living, kitchen, and a dining area are open concept. Main level also includes a very large bedroom with access to a beautiful bath. Upstairs is a loft area and another very large bedroom and a full bath. Downstairs is a partially finished basement, laundry, a large bonus room and another full bathroom. Home has an abundant amount of parking. Excellent views and privacy off of the covered back porch which is also very spacious. This would make great year round living or a vacation home. It would also make for a fantastic vacation rental.
