'Affordable' and 'lakefront' don't usually go in the same sentence these days, but these sellers have taken a different tack and have decided to sell this lovely Portage Lake camp. Fully furnished, this log cottage offers a great room that encompasses the kitchen, dining area, living room, and cozy seating by the woodtsove. Used primarily as a 3-season camp, you can also enjoy it for winter activites as the sellers have installed a wifi-enabled propane heater in the main camp. You can turn up the heat before arriving! There are two first-floor bedrooms in the main camp, one facing the lake, the other offering bunkbeds. There is a loft that accommodates two. The full bath is inside the main camp. Included in the living space is the bunkhouse, which also sleeps 2-4 more. You can spread out or stuff in as many family/guests as you'd like! Whether boating or swimming, such a large beachfront with level access to the water, makes lake time so easy. Enjoy the views of the lake from the large, private yard while roasting marshmallows around the fire pit! Enjoy the long screened-in porch overlooking the large graveled beachfront & serene lake. The metal roof makes winter maintenance a breeze, as does the winterizing by pulling out the lake-drawn water (fresh drinking water is available down the road at a continuously running artesian well). Much of the plumbing is PEX, a very cold-climate friendly option. You don't have to tell your boss, but there is Spectrum hard-wired high-speed Internet on this road, so you could easily work from the cottage! So many wonderful features for a great price!

Quintessential log cottage, this comes outfitted with furnishing that really suit the log style. Sleeps 8+ comfortably, this cottage has been used as a 3-season but the Jotul woodstove would keep you comfortable in the main camp year-round. Maintained beautifully, the metal roof, concrete footings, and updated electrical will make this easy to manage. Drawn lakewater (new pump!) and holding tank are inexpensive ways to run a lakefront cottage! Open floor plan in the main cottage offers a large kitchen, dining area, and living room. : cook & visit, that's what camp life is all about! Sit on the long, screened-in front porch or soak up the sun on the back deck. The huge gravel beach is a testament to the way things used to be done on lakes now you get to enjoy this unique feature. Two bedrooms and full bath with shower as well as a loft in the main camp. Need overflow or privacy? No problem, there's a beautifully appointed bunkhouse! Private lot, set back from the road and the lake! Waterfront this inexpensive isn't going to last. Call or text today!
