Cradled by the towering oaks and pines at the edge of the National Forest, this mountain retreat feels like a gateway to another world. Trails for hiking and biking wind straight from your doorstep into endless wilderness, where time drifts at the pace of whispering pines and distant birdsong. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and picture windows capture the forest in shifting light--morning sun spilling across the open floor plan, twilight casting a golden glow. 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a cozy loft offer intimate spaces for rest, each touched by the serenity of its surroundings. Front and back decks invite you to linger, whether watching the sky blush at sunset or tracing constellations on crisp, starlit nights. With a mudroom, ample storage, forced-air heating, and more, this home blends comfort with the quiet magic of the mountains--a place to both lose yourself and find yourself again.
