The 25 Foster Lane cabin in Morganton, Georgia, is essentially a perfect small jewel box of mountain life—a mere 900 square feet of a handcrafted log-style home situated on 1.5 private acres in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Warm golden logs that shine in the afternoon sun were used to build this two-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin back in 2007, and it’s like stepping into a postcard where every element shouts out relaxation and rustic grandeur. The cabin with its classic gable roof and wraparound porch is like coming home to a retreat of the truest kind when you drive up the gentle winding road and see it from a distance.
The cabin is surrounded by tall hardwood trees and wild rhododendrons, and the rich log exterior of the cabin is greatly enhanced by a dark green metal roof that is very functional as it sheds water and pine needles easily. The covered porch goes around the front and the side and thus provides a lot of space for rocking chairs, a porch swing, or even a small table where coffee tastes better and conversations last longer.
Fans on the ceiling rotate slowly and keep summer evenings cool as you watch fireflies light up the lawn. The 1.5-acre lot offers you the perfect amount of freedom of space—just enough to have a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs, a small garden area, or just letting the forest come right up to your doorstep. Birdsong is abundant at sunrise, and on silent nights, you can hear the quiet sound of water from the nearby stream. This, indeed, is a cabin that is made for relaxing and taking deep breaths.
Entering the front door, one can see the cabin’s inside which is gracious and bright, with the warmth of the place. The drawing of the eye upward is done by the high ceilings with the exposed beams, thus, the open living area looks very spacious. The living room is beautified by the presence of a lovely gas log fireplace with a stone hearth that is very inviting and ready for use on chilly fall evenings with a mere flick of the switch.
The floors are made from wide planks and they shine, and there are large windows on all sides that offer views of the surrounding woods. The open design leads naturally to a bright kitchen with the cabinets made of a honey-colored wood, full appliances (refrigerator, range, microwave) and a pantry that makes the place neat and tidy. Whether it be making pancakes for two or chili for a large group, the space works perfectly without ever being too small.
Both the bedrooms are quiet havens and are located at opposite ends of the cabin ensuring that they are private. The master bedroom with a layout suitable for a king-sized bed, fan on the ceiling, and easy access to its own full bath, is what the primary suite has to offer. The second bedroom is just as appealing—making a perfect place for guests, children, or a home office with a view.
The presence of two well-equipped bathrooms means that there will be no queues of people waiting to use the restroom in the morning, and also, the provision of a washer and dryer will ensure that weekend chores are kept to a minimum. Besides that, there is central heating and air conditioning along with the gas fireplace that will keep the cabin warm and cozy throughout the year even if you come for leaf season, summer fireflies, or a snow-dusted winter getaway.
Every corner of this 900-square-foot cabin has been thought of for real living. To keep things high and dry is the crawl-space foundation, while quality construction from 2007 means modern insulation and systems wrapped in the timeless log charm. The cabin is small enough to heat and cool at a low-cost, but it is still big enough to allow people to come over for the weekend and no one will feel that the place is overcrowded. This is the kind of cabin that exists in people’s dreams—the one that is intimate but at the same time not cramped, rustic but still completely move-in ready.
The cabin is only a few minutes away from downtown Blue Ridge, Lake Blue Ridge, and the Toccoa River, thus the cabin makes hiking, fishing, tubing, and mountain-town charm, all easily accessible, yet, you still get complete privacy and seclusion. The cabin is the right size, just right for a couple, a small family, or any person who agrees that life is better without walls and with more trees.
