Tucked at the northern tip of an island on Lake Rachel, this classic seasonal cabin offers 400+ feet of shoreline, incredible fishing, and a front-row seat to the lake—just feet from the water’s edge, a location no longer allowed under today’s building codes. The main cabin features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open layout, and a charming lakeside porch. A separate guest suite near the garage adds a third bedroom and bath, perfect for visitors. Accessed by a single-lane road across the lake, this is classic Minnesota cabin life with a modern twist.

What is better than having two cabin homes with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on an Island with over an acre of land and 467 ft of beautiful Lake Front on a clean deep Mn lake?? Answer: Having all that on an island that you can now drive out to on a private road! It doesn't get any better than hanging out in that beautiful sun room on the lake! Fire place in both cabin homes! Just try finding a package like this on a great deep lake like Lake Rachel! Last DNR report says no invasive species in this lake, not even carp! Please read the DNR Lakefinder report on this lake! And this property comes with a real sewer system (not just a holding tank) and a real drilled well. Electric run out to island under private drive. Seller has been using and updating this home as a seasonal for last 20 yrs but previous owner used it as a year round and could be converted back.
