Description

Tucked at the corner of two spacious lots, this little 1-bedroom retreat isn’t just a cabin—it’s your escape hatch. A place where the world slows down, the air smells like pine, and the only schedule is sunrise, sunset, and maybe one more ride through the woods. With a deep 240-ft well drawing up fresh spring water, a cozy interior cooled by mini-split A/C, and a charming Amish-built outhouse, this is off-grid comfort with just the right touch of wild. Sip coffee on the porch, chase the trails less...Tucked at the corner of two spacious lots, this little 1-bedroom retreat isn’t just a cabin—it’s your escape hatch. A place where the world slows down, the air smells like pine, and the only schedule is sunrise, sunset, and maybe one more ride through the woods. With a deep 240-ft well drawing up fresh spring water, a cozy interior cooled by mini-split A/C, and a charming Amish-built outhouse, this is off-grid comfort with just the right touch of wild. Sip coffee on the porch, chase the trails less traveled—State land is just down the road, ORV trails only minutes away, and Long Lake’s launch is calling your name. Here, it’s not about square footage—it’s about freedom. Let this be your reset, your playground, your peace. Welcome to the cabin life.
