A little bit of heaven! Enjoy the beauty of the forest in this charming 4-season cottage with all the comforts of home. Located in Michaux State Forrest, it's a short walk to Laurel Lake where you can enjoy swimming/fishing/kayaking. There are numerous hiking trails as well as access to the Appalachian Trail. In the evening, enjoy sitting around a campfire or just listen to the forest sounds from the covered porch. The interior offers a beautiful warm glow from the new pine plank flooring and gas fireplace. The three window walls in the sunroom/veranda offer the perfect setting for a sit-down dinner or table space for games. The second level offers two bedrooms, the main floor has one small bedroom as well as an additional private area that hosts a double size day bed. Lots of space for overnight guests. A detached shed provides safe storage for kayaks, bikes, recreational toys and tools. The 2 zone heat pump, well pump and hot water heater are all new as of June 2020. In addition to this the cottage was totally rehabbed by a previous owner in 2002. No need to travel far for a lovely "get-away". Cash only sale, PA residents only. State Forest leased lot.
