Fireplace+Japanese Tub+Chef Kitchen+Serene Views
Perched on a hill above the N. Toe River at the end of the road you’ll find Dougs Way, a modern cabin with huge picture windows that frame long range mountain views as if it were art. Surrounded by old oaks and loblolly pines, the property is quiet and never cookie cutter.
