Peaceful, modern cabin rustic feel
Excellent off grid cabin. Very quiet almost remote feel within 10 mins of Bingham. Property was awesome. Running stream, firepit. The cabin itself is practically new, and being off grid amd cloudy we did need the generator a bit, but it is sheltered by another building and when you have it running you do not hear it AT ALL! Perfect setup for an off grid situation. Highy recommend and will definitely be back!!
