Music Mountain- The Boutique Music Themed Cabin

A Million Dollar View! To get a view like this you’d have a terrible drive to get to it but the cabin is very convenient to the highway with only a mildly steep but short driveway. The Cabin was made from lumber cut off the land it sits on. Reclaimed Wood floors, reclaimed brick fireplace, rock chimney, wood focus walls and wainscoting throughout the cabin to separate this cabin from all the others. I got a big deck. It’s not the biggest deck ever but everyone loves this deck. You’ll see!

The cabin exterior is framed by autumn foliage, with warm lights illuminating the porch. Steps lead up to the entry, surrounded by natural stone and leaves carpeting the ground. A rustic style is reflected in the wooden design and peaceful forest setting.
