Property Description
A truly authentic Northern Michigan trout fishing and bird hunting retreat. This classic, full-log 1912 cabin has been preserved and adapted for year-round use with new construction featuring two bedrooms, two full baths, kitchen, living/dining room and a sleeping loft with two beds that doubles as convenient attic storage. A garage has room for a camp vehicle (Isuzu Trooper comes with) and an attached covered and lockable boat shed provides storage for kayaks, canoes and extras. Property is nearly 8 acres, with 178 feet of frontage on the famed North Branch. It borders State Forest on two sides as well as directly across the river. The original cabin features a stone fireplace, solid oak flooring and built-in wood cabinetry throughout. All structures have been regularly maintained in very good condition. Improvements and updates made over the course of the current owner's 40-year stewardship include new windows, metal roofing, and a 600 sq foot addition creating a separate en-suite bedroom & bath, a laundry, sauna; and plenty of closet space. Exterior construction matched the original log craftsmanship. At the back of the detached garage is a small private sleeping quarters with its own stone fireplace. At your doorstep Is the famed North Branch, a legendary Brook and Brown Trout fishery. The setting is quiet comfort in natural surroundings. There are no commercial canoe liveries operating on this wild and scenic trout stream.
