Improvements:

The owners have owned the cabin since 1990 and only use it on average for 6 weeks per year, so it is in tip top shape! Many updates and additions have been done over the years including the great room with fireplace was added in 2013 with the metal roof over the original cabin replaced to match the new addition. Carpet, kitchen appliances, and many light fixtures have been replaced, kitchen cabinet refaced and upstairs bath renovated all in the last 6 years. Exterior logs were stained in 2015 with a second coat applied in April 2018. Finally, natural gas was installed in Deer Haven Estates HOA in 2012, thus the cabin is heated by natural gas forced air, there is a gas cook top oven, and the fireplace is gas but can be converted to wood burning.
