--THE CABIN --
Bedroom 1 Downstairs: California King Bed | Upstairs Loft: 2 Queen Beds
This 850 square foot cabin, built and completed in November 2020, is gorgeous inside and out. All beds are memory foam so you will have a great nights sleep. Cookout on the provided grill and enjoy outdoor dining in a variety of locations, including the partially covered back porch. Relax in the brand new jacuzzi tub by Nordic.
If you prefer to cook inside the new kitchen is complete with soapstone countertops, brand new appliances, including a full size range/convection oven, and microwave. The dishwasher will have you relaxing after dinner instead of washing dishes.
A unique feature we call the grotto is a large extended ledge below the cabin with a cave. The grotto is accessible by stairs and provides a stunning view of the valley. Relax on the swing while enjoying the spectacular view and listening to the waterfall located next to the grotto. Gather around the grotto fire pit on those cool evenings... time for s'mores!
With acres to roam and a view of Hatton Hollow waterfall you will never want to leave.
