Porches!!

This cabin has four, yes 4!, spacious porches. There is access to the upper porches from each of the 4 bedrooms. The picture above is a view from the upper front porch - looking north.

Same porch, looking south.
The driveway  - view from the lower front porch. There is a horse-shoe pit just under the sunlight in the trees. There is also a nice campsite area here with a firepit.
The south side - view from the lower front porch, looking back and out across.

Incredible views from the bluff!

The fields below...


This is such a beautiful place to come and sit - to take in the quiet and peacefulness. A short walk from the  house...about 100 yards.

Some inside pictures...

A view from the front door area.
