This lovingly-maintained, cozy cabin is nestled on the edge of George Washington National Forest and is an ideal retreat for outdoor recreation or for just getting away from it all. The home was custom built with traditional chinking and chestnut logs repurposed from a mid-19th century property. Current owner replaced the metal roof, added a well, electric, and a shed for additional storage. Charming open plan with a cozy sleeping loft above. 5 minutes to Sherando Lake, less than 20 minutes to Waynesboro and 40 minutes to Charlottesville.
