If you've been dreaming of a simple cabin retreat by the lake, this Alborn property is just the place. The main cabin is cozy and welcoming with its classic wood finishes and inviting spaces, while the bonus cabin nearby adds even more roon for gathering or quiet escapes. Just steps away, the lake offers a peaceful backdrop for morning coffee on the porch, afternoons spent on the water, and evenings by the fire under a blanket of stars. Near by the Auro-bi Snowmobile Trail (Trail 76) and Alborn-Pengilly Railroad ATV trail. The two stall garage can house all of your outdoor gear setting you up for easy and spontaneous adventure, relaxation and everything in between.
