Beautiful Log Cabin On Forest Snowmobile Trails
You have just found a beautiful log home with all necessary amenities, situated on 11 acres of land bordering 5200 acres of the Manistee National Forest.
ATV/snowmobile trails start right from the backyard. Go hiking or mountain biking, fishing or kayaking in the streams and lakes near by. The place is secluded and very quiet. The nearest neighbors are so far that you will hear your heat beat, sitting on a swing, sipping your morning coffee on a large covered front porch.
The space
Spacious log cabin with all the modern amenities. Fully stocked kitchen, free WiFi. Ski resort is less than an hour away. Snowmobile/ATV trail is just a few feet away.
Other things to note
If you are looking for relaxing, secluded location, this cabin is for you. Enjoy your morning coffee swinging on the large covered front porch and then spend the days riding the ORV trails just outside your back door or fishing on the Big S Branch of the Pere Marquette River only 1/2 away & then wind down in the evenings on the large back deck at one with the nature.
