A driveway sets the house back from the road and ends in front of the garage while also providing room to park multiple cars.

estled within the warm and welcoming community of Smallwood lies the beautiful .71 acre home of Bob and Lori Henderson offering both seclusion and tranquility. This property is currently on the market for buyers seeking a country getaway only a stone’s throw away from both the quaint towns of Sullivan County and the shores of Smallwood’s Mountain Lake. The house is hidden from the Cumberland Trail road as it is set back on a long driveway which provides enough space for multiple cars to park. The building itself is a two-story log cabin comprised of original wood milled from the area, kept in fantastic condition, and with three bedrooms and two full baths, provides the perfect space for a single family. A small porch on the upper floor leads into the spacious living area and kitchen then branching
off into two sleeping quarters and first full bath. Next to the master bedroom is a large sunroom with large windows that overlooks the backyard. Spiraling down to first floor is a staircase that leads into a den-area or, if need be, a third bedroom, which is also accompanied by another full, bath and small kitchenette area. The cabin is surrounded by one of the larger lawns in Smallwood and also houses a heated inground pool, only one of two in the area. Accompanying the greenery that surrounds the private property is a recently dredged small pond that falls into a stream, which bubbles as it flows through the lawn. Residing near the diverse and welcoming people of Smallwood and only a short drive away from the amenities of the local community, the house at number 8 Cumberland Trail provides the perfect location for a country home.
