About 18 Hot Springs Cyn 1

Charming Forest Cabin Retreat | Rare Opportunity in the Heart of the Cleveland National Forest

Located just off the road for easy access, this enchanting cabin sits on the last private lot at the end of the lane, with only one neighbor in close proximity and another cabin situated across the creek—creating a rare sense of privacy, space, and natural beauty. While it's conveniently located, the moment you step onto the spacious, serene back deck, you’ll feel completely transported into a peaceful, forested escape. Must be a secondary home.

In the winter, a seasonal waterfall flows along the side of the property, adding to the charm and wonder—especially for the owner’s grandkids who love to play near the back deck. A year-round creek brings the soothing sounds of flowing water, easily heard through open French doors and windows. Trails nearby wind through the forest and connect all the way back to the main road, perfect for hikes and quiet exploration.

This property also includes three dedicated parking spaces, a rare and valuable amenity in this tranquil mountain setting.

Inside, French doors welcome you into a warm, open-concept interior featuring a cozy great room, a quaint kitchen with an informal dining area, and a family room accented by a beautiful steel corner fireplace.
