Shonkin Road carves out a beautiful drive towards the Highwood Mountains stippled with cattle and wildlife. Eventually, the county road approaches a cozy cabin as it leads you across a rustic wooden bridge, a crystal-clear creek rippling beneath. Surrounded by meadows and partially wooded mountains, the air carries whispers of pine and the sounds of the water emit an unmatched tranquility. The sun shines above sending forth rays that kiss the ridges and the sapphire sky serves as the background. This retreat provides an escape that embraces nature. The cabin consists of a bedroom, a bathroom, and a loft all centering on the open den and kitchen space. A crackling woodstove warms the space when the weather outside is frigid. Attune your eyes to capture the frequent wildlife including deer, bear, elk, mountain lion, coyotes, and small critters. Start your day with a cup of morning brew on the front porch, gently swaying in a rocking chair to the rhythm of nature's symphony or bask in the glory of a westward-facing sunset. Finish off a long summer day well spent at the swimming hole just footsteps from the front entrance. Test your fishing skills and reel in a trout to smoke over a fire at the pit overlooking the creek. Gaze at stars like you’ve never seen while roasting marshmallows for smores. Thousands of acres of Forest Service lands blanket the Highwood Mountains beckoning adventurers with boundless opportunities for outdoor pursuits. Trails await horseback riders, dirt bike enthusiasts, and hikers, while hunters, anglers, campers, ATV riders, snowshoers, and seekers of scenic vistas find their paradise in this untamed wilderness.
