best friends! goodbye—

I know it seems ridiculous that a place can be such a good friend…but indeed I have such a place ….a little bit of paradise on earth—when I was in Atlanta doing the $$$ thing I used to get so anxious as Friday arrived because this is what happened—- I would head out of the city right after noon to miss the traffic and head north…. soon I would leave 75 and on to  575 and then hit hwy 5 turn left onto hwy 2 up the mountain  to Dali gap down to Jacks river—ahhhh I could feel the excitement …the stress falling off…leaving the city behind…..and then I would be at the bank of the river oh yea!!! drive on through that baby and into the wilderness another mile…..forging a river was a first for me and when I first purchased the cabin my vehicle  was an audi TT ……aaaaaaa  that will not cross a river and later drive up a creek and so I purchased my first run- a-muck truck! ……..and then into the wild I went…..nothing  but peace and quiet and rushing water….rhododendrons led the way….then I was usually greeted by the resident blue heron as I turned to take a short drive up the creek and into my paradise….no cell …no TV …nothing but nature and the most peaceful centering feeling on earth—-  that was 8 years ago……and it was my ritual for the next 5 years…..until I bought The Martyn House…….

now best house friends are something like this…..they fill you with joy, they remind you what is important, they inspire you, they allow you to be whatever you need to be!

This cabin is 500 sq ft of great energy and creativity and surrounded by nature…it sits in a ravine on a crystal clear creek and on either side of the property I own is where the wilderness begins on one side and the national forest on the other. What makes this so special is that there are VERY few pieces of privately owned property in the wilderness that requires very little work-  that sits right on a creek like this because it is now grandfathered in  because of new laws to protect the headwaters of the Jacks River!

The cabin is 500 sq ft and has a great room with new wood stove, and an old antique ship ladder that leads to a sleeping loft. The cabin is off the grid meaning no cell, no electricity however when the cabin  was remodeled we had electric put  in so you can hook it up to a generator if  the quiet is too much for you:)

There is a full kitchen with stove and fridge run by propane. A full bathroom with bath/shower and on demand hot water and indoor plumbing!. Bedroom and the guest house is a teepee!

Deciding to sell the cabin was the most difficult real estate decision I have ever made because it is so special. But our lives here at The Martyn House are so full and the cabin needed to be loved like I loved it when I went there every weekend. I even lived there for 3 months! Now there some tales to tell about that!

A house can be a good friend and like our friends we want the best for them and its best to let someone else love this cabin. I did take the tub from the woods: dismantled the outdoor bathroom I thought no one would really get that and I am reconstructing it here at The Martyn House so I can carry some of the memories here  be on the look out for my next BLOG Out door bathing!. So if you know of anyone that could really use a little piece of heaven on earth THIS IS IT !!! TRUST ME!!!
