Description

Private lakeside retreat on Camp Lake. Dock is included and cabin is sold mostly furnished. The perfect getaway and only two hours from the cities. Enjoy over 60 feet of hard sand shoreline on a lake that is know for its boating, fishing and recreation. This fully renovated 2 bed 1 bath log sided cabin has well designed indoor/outdoor living & entertaining spaces that blend rustic "Up-North" charm with modern conveniences. Includes high-speed fiber optic internet, new windows, insulation, siding, well and septic (2015). A wall of windows in the living room, as well as, lakeside deck and private bunkhouse above the garage all provide beautiful panoramic lake views from every angle of this property. There is plenty of parking and storage space but the detached 1-car garage is a great BONUS for this seasonal property! A rare opportunity for a move-in ready, meticulously maintained lakeside cabin. Don't delay and you'll have the rest of the summer to enjoy the lake life! Bonus 14 x 12 finished bunk room is not included in total listing square footage.
