If you’ve been dreaming of that up-north cabin getaway -this is it! Tucked back on a secluded 16.7 acres with 765 feet of frontage on the Whiteface River, this off-grid cabin is all about peace, simplicity, and escaping the hustle and bustle of your everyday life. Accessible via a charming footbridge over a winding Deadman's creek, you’ll arrive at your very own rustic retreat. This private setting features a split-log cabin and sauna building for a dreamy, woodsy escape made for quiet mornings and cozy evenings! The 540 sq ft cabin offers an open layout with one main-level bedroom and a spacious sleeping loft for two. No plumbing here (although a well is available) -just propane lights, a gas stove and refrigerator, an outhouse with biolet, and a wood-fired sauna that adds the perfect northwoods touch. A new screened-in porch is the bonus space you didn’t know you needed—perfect for enjoying the outdoors without needing the bugspray! The best part? It’s being sold fully furnished and turnkey. Just show up, settle in, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Whether you're sipping coffee in the morning, fishing the river, swimming, paddling out for a quiet afternoon, or just sitting by the fire, this place invites you to slow down and soak it all in!
