Nestled at the base of the everchanging magical Smith Lake, the cabin offers a beautifully screened in living area where one can talk, read, eat, sleep and be immersed in the solitude and stunning elegance of the natural world surrounding you.Inside the heart of the cabin, a fireplace anchors a cheery kitchen where everything needed to make a hearty meal is available. The bathroom is spacious and well appointed. The sleeping room offers privacy and comfort. We never felt a need to leave the cabin as the ridge walking trail and surrounding country roads provided incredible paths into the majestic forest that you are immersed in …a place so silent, you can hear a leaf fall! Clear water and a sand bottomed expanse of water can be explored with canoe or kayak in the morning mist or the shimmering light of a full moon. We even met a porcupine!Solar power and a tankless hot water system and tools to strengthen internet connections speak to the environmentally conscious owners and the care they give their cabin in the woods.This is truly a tranquil and serene place.Thank You!The Saganski Family
