Amazing Spot
This is an older cabin so do not expect luxury. The spot is all about the privacy, view, outdoor space and access to a a lovely creek with easy launch of your own or provided kayaks. Lots of smaller red eye bass to catch The stream water is crystal clear and great for the dogs. Shade in the evening for the enclosed porch. Great internet signal if you can’t leave work behind. The nearby Roaring Run hike is spectacular when open. Nearest real grocery is 30 minutes away so pack well.
