Built in 2018 and tucked onto a full wooded acre, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is Northern Michigan living at its simplest. Step inside and look up: the cedar ceiling in the living room sets the whole tone. It's warm, it's woodsy, and it feels like a cabin without any of the upkeep of an old one. At 832 square feet, the layout is easy. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a main-floor laundry closet so you're not hauling baskets anywhere. Outside, your acre of trees gives you room to spread out, and the property backs up to state land with miles of trails for walking and cross-country skiing, right out your back door. You're also close to both Rennie Lake and Bass Lake. This home is a great fit for a first purchase or a seasonal getaway.
