There's something about a cabin in the woods that makes life feel a little slower, and this one lets you enjoy that feeling without giving up the convenience of being less than five miles from town. Tucked among the trees in Eagles Nest, this furnished mountain home feels warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive, beginning with a covered front porch made for rocking chairs and unhurried mornings. Inside, wood surrounds the open living and kitchen area, where vaulted ceilings and a stone gas-log fireplace create the kind of cozy gathering space that simply feels right in the mountains. The kitchen offers plenty of room to cook, gather around the island, and settle in for meals before carrying the evening onto the screened porch just beyond. With access from both the dining area and main-level bedroom, it becomes a natural extension of the home and an easy place to enjoy the wooded surroundings and seasonal mountain views. A bedroom and full bath on the main level keep everyday living comfortable, while the finished terrace level adds another bedroom, full bath, laundry, generous second living area, and plenty of storage - giving everyone room to spread out without losing the cozy feel upstairs.
