Located amongst the tall white pines, this brightly painted home is impossible to miss. Accommodating up to 6 people, the remodeled cabin is perfect for your next family vacation if you’re looking for some privacy amidst the scenic natural attractions. Escape the chilling winter winds by hiding out in the open living area, filled with all the necessities you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Turn on the ceiling fan to circulate the stale air when it gets too stuffy, and if you feel the sleep monster catching up on you, have a short snooze on the leather couch by the fireplace. For a burst of fresh air, head up to the outdoor patio with your travel read in hand. Sink into the rocking chairs that overlook the flourishing canopy, and spend a quiet afternoon in the heart of tranquility. Retire back to your rooms at the end of the day, and prepare to be greeted by a luxurious sight. With paisley-printed sheets complemented by dimmed lighting, you can sleep like royalty on the plush king-sized bed.
