Description

Your High Sierra Escape Awaits: Classic USFS Log Cabin nestled in the quiet hamlet of Strawberry and tucked among the pines of the Eldorado National Forest, this classic Forest Service log cabin feels worlds removed from everyday lifeyet sits just minutes off Highway 50. Step onto the porch and the Sierra takes over: filtered light through the canopy, the scent of damp earth and fragrant pines, lush ferns crowding the edges of the lot, and the low, steady hush of the river that never quite leaves you. The surroundings are pure High Sierra magiccool forest, mushrooms and ferns underfoot, and that Hobbit-like sense of being completely enveloped by nature. Inside, thoughtful cosmetic upgrades preserve the soul of a true mountain lodge: warm wood, rooms that smell of pine and firewood, and the easy, lived-in comfort that makes people linger. Come for a Saturday and you'll start planning Thanksgiving. Spend a summer here and the river will make you forget what day it is. Arrive in winter and the forest closes in, quiet and close, turning the cabin into a private secret. This is a rare opportunity: privately owned improvements on USFS land, offered as a straightforward cash purchaseno loan required. It's a genuine foothold in the High Sierra for anyone who already knows they belong up here. Pack the coffee. Bring the dog. Leave the clock behind. Strawberry is waiting.
