Surrounded by mature trees, this property provides a peaceful retreat with stunning lake views and classic Northwoods charm. The inviting cabin features a free-flowing layout with a wall of windows overlooking the lake, filling the home with natural light, along with new luxury vinyl plank flooring, new carpet, and three main-level bedrooms. The walkout lower level adds a cozy family room with fireplace, an additional bedroom, and a flexible den or storage space.
