Start making unforgettable memories at this two-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin right on the water's edge of Big Portage Lake. The large platform deck is the perfect place to sip your morning coffee and enjoy summer cookouts overlooking the lake. Inside, you'll find true "up north" charm with tongue-and-groove ceilings and other beautiful wood accents throughout. After a fun-filled day in the sun, come inside and recharge in the comfort of the ductless mini-split A/C, which also provides heat on those colder days in the early spring or late fall. The cabin will be sold turn-key, with all of the furniture included, as well as many lake toys stored in your shed across the road.
