A trout Fisherman's dream come true, this very affordable log cabin comes with 119' of private deeded water front on the Little Manistee River. It's just a short walk to the rivers edge from the cottage for some of the best browns and brook trout action in the State. For the snowmobile and(or) orv trail Rider the Lake County/ Irons Area year around maintained trail system is accessible just to the east of the cottage and the 500+ square foot pole building will protect those toys when not in use. Originally built as a one room log cabin an addition was constructed in more recent years to ad the bedroom, bathroom and utility/storage room. With a super convenient location for easy access and private frontage on the River with a real log home makes this a very attractive property in the heart of the Manistee National Forest. Come with most furnishings. Owner has developed a quick drain down system for the water system so the cottage may be used during the winter months. About 15 minutes is all it takes to flush plumbing so heat can be turned off with no worries about freeze ups between visits. Very Cool. To be sold with furnishings except for a few personal items.
