Cool fishing cottage on the Rock River!! This modern shotgun cabin has been updated and is move-in ready. It can sleep 6 or more depending on how you put the beds in. The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances and a new never-used refrigerator. Two full bathrooms, because you know you need 2 even on the river. This would make a great Airbnb or a weekend retreat. How about going in with your friends for a getaway when you need it? The deck off the back of the house is wonderful, relaxing, and a great way to spend the day reading. If you like to fish, well its a great spot and there are a lot of fish to be caught. Call me or your favorite agent today to see this wonderful vacation spot close to home.
