Have you ever dreamed of having an Up-North Michigan getaway? This is the perfect place for you! Nestled off a private road on a bluff site with the Muskegon River Flowing in the backyard, imagine enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck overlooking the river, hearing the birds singing and viewing the wildlife that the river attracts. Imagine kayaking down the river on a beautiful sunny day, enjoying a serene weekend away from the busyness of life! This affordable getaway cabin has an open floor plan with a beautiful kitchen and a large living area. The one bedroom is very spacious with lots of closet space. The bathroom is very roomy with updated fixtures. All you have to do is bring your furnishings and move in! Property surrounded by hundreds of acres of state land and is located between Lake City and Cadillac and about 12 miles from beautiful downtown Falmouth! Due to the fact that owner uses this as a weekend home, owner installed electric wall space heaters as a backup heat source. Extra insulation was added to the home last year.
