Simplicity. A walk through the woods. Hotdogs roasted over a bonfire. Resting in a hammock under a canopy of trees. Kayaking or fishing on a nearby 56 acre tranquil lake. Birds singing and crickets chirping. If this sounds like the perfect get-away, read on. Built in 2006, this log-cabin style home offers a quiet, peaceful 2 acre wooded setting and a comfortable, lodge style interior. The land itself contributed to the home's construction. Logs harvested from the property were carefully and lovingly stripped, hand hewn and shaped into ceiling beams, railing, banisters and bar trim. Complimentary wood cabinetry blends well with the theme of the home and exposed wood rafters adorn both kitchen and living room. Spacious loft has room for multiple beds & a birds-eye view of the activity below. Knotty pine walls, black matt accents, country decor and fixtures blend nicely with the cabin hideaway feel. The wood stove gives plenty of cozy heat for those fall and winter nights and a creative distribution fan/system pulls & redirects that extra ceiling heat into the first floor bedrooms. The outbuilding has a workshop and 8+ foot high carport/lean-to for vehicles, boat, camper or even picnic area. The covered front porch runs the length of the home for taking in nature or Maybe you prefer meditating in the screen house which is surrounded by nature has clear removable panels for those rainy days. Outdoor sport lovers will appreciate the Manistee National Forest yards from the property for snowmobiling, hiking, ATV riding and hunting options. The house comes furnished (See list of furniture) with a good supply of wood for campfires in the fire pit and fuel for the stove. This little home in the big woods will call the naturalist, hunter, sportsmen, adventurer and contemplative alike!
