Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2000
We have been vacationing on Sage Lake since the late 1960's. I bought the vacant land in 1973 and Debbie and I built the cabin in 2000. We love the wildlife, especially the loons which are now abundant on the lake.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
A short walk to the beach. Rent a pontoon locally or bring your own boat for water skiing, wakeboarding and tubing or if slower and quieter is your desire, kayaking is great for watching loons or sightseeing. Cruisins' Corner Cupboard offers great food and ice cream and is within walking distance. Great shopping and restaurants are a short drive. East Tawas has many small shops and activities. Rifle and Au Sable rivers are nearby with all kinds of recreation and sightseeing available, including riverboat cruises.
