9065 N Rohlf Rd, Hayward, WI

Price: $439,000
Northwoods wonder: This charming, chalet-style cabin has it all: balconies galore, two stone chimneys, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and large windows with picturesque views.

The four-bedroom, 2,685-square-foot home sits on 10 acres in the Northwoods in the Badger State’s far north—an area with 3,200 lakes, streams, and rivers. One of these steams runs right through the property, as do numerous hiking trails.

The property is also adjacent to public park service land, so opportunities for exploration are endless. While the location might seem remote, it’s only 10 minutes from the town of Hayward, where you’ll find the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, plenty of recreational activities, as well as stores and cafes.

9709 Hillcrest Dr, Edmond, OK

Price: $425,000
Elegant rustic residence: This is more country estate than a log cabin. It begins with a three-bedroom, 3,067-square-foot main house. There’s also a three-car detached garage plus a sweet little greenhouse/shed.

The landscaped, 1.5-acre lot features lush green lawns with plenty of trees for shade. Touch football, badminton, or a slip-n-slide? There are endless opportunities for recreation on your own home turf.

Inside you’ll find a kitchen with stone countertops and hardwood cabinets, plus a great room with two impressive stone fireplaces. The primary bedroom is on the main floor and features a large walk-in closet, a bath with double vanities, and a jetted tub.

11700 Old Port Gibson Rd, Edwards, MS

Price: $294,900
Small price, big value: Although it’s the lowest-priced cabin on our list, it boasts one of the largest lots, at 6.6 acres.

Bonus: You could live off the land. You can feed yourself fish caught in the property’s private pond, as well as the fruit from the numerous pecan trees and blueberry bushes.

You can also keep animals in the large barn, which last housed goats and chickens. They won’t wander off, because an underground electric fence circles the property.

Inside the 2,000-square-foot cabin, you’ll find three bedrooms and an extremely well-appointed and stylish kitchen. A vaulted ceiling below a green metal roof covers it all, and large windows allow you to overlook your domain.

224 Echo Hill Dr, Green Mountain, NC

Price: $345,000
Small but mighty: This quaint, 900-square-foot cabin was built in 1972, but it possesses all the character of a century-old cabin. Even so, it’s loaded with conveniences like a surprisingly spacious kitchen, a lovely stone fireplace, and two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings.

While the main house might be petite, there’s also a large barn/garage on the 1.89-acre property. You could store your vehicles there, but the previous owners used it as a horse stable. Outdoors, you’ll also enjoy the lily pond and fire pit.

In addition, the property offers easy access to the Toe River, hiking trails, and the adorable unincorporated town of Green River, which has restaurants, recreational facilities, and shops—just about everything to meet your needs in this picturesque mountain community.
