The quaint cabin in the woods you've been waiting for, offering privacy, solitude and a place for your next adventures to begin. A detached Writer's Cabin awaits your next masterpiece! Enter through a gorgeous stained-glass door into the great room, with open-beam ceilings and walls crafted from cedar rounds. Glowing hardwood floors were reclaimed from historic mining flumes, while many windows came from Victorian homes in Nevada City.
