Overview
Log cabin on 4.6 wooded acres, three minutes from the Fire Tower trailhead.
Hemlock Cabin is the real thing: hand-scribed logs, a stone chimney and a sleeping loft under the eaves. It sits in a clearing of old hemlocks, and the morning light through the trees is exactly what the photo shows.
Updated in 2022 with a new kitchen, spray-foam roof insulation and a mini-split heat pump, it's comfortable year-round. The trailhead to Fire Tower is a three-minute walk.
