Morning coffee on a covered porch overlooking Twelve Mile Creek. Evenings around a stone fire pit by the water. And just up from the creek, three covered stalls, fenced pens, and a tack room for horses or donkeys. Tucked into the woods and out of sight from the road, this cedar-sided cabin offers a setting that's just as inviting for everyday living as it is for a weekend away. Inside, tall windows frame the trees, natural wood walls rise to a vaulted ceiling, and a freestanding stove rests on a stone hearth. The kitchen opens to the living and dining areas, with wood cabinetry, open shelving, and a breakfast bar. The loft bedroom has a walk-in closet and its own half bath, while the main-level full bath features a jetted tub with a wooded view and a separate shower. A full walkout basement opens onto a covered stone patio, and the detached two-car garage offers space for vehicles, tools, and outdoor gear. With Table Rock State Park and Highway 11 nearby, it's easy to spend the day on the trails and come home to the sound of water spilling over the rocks. Enjoy it as a full-time home or weekend retreat, or explore its potential as a short-term rental.
