This cabin has been thoroughly modernized with excellent upgrades, including a central HVAC air conditioning system and furnace servicing the main and lower levels, plus high-efficiency ductless mini-splits on the upper floor to keep you perfectly comfortable year-round. Additional mechanical amenities include a Rinnai tankless water heater, and a secondary outside wood boiler system that could be easily reconnected.
