About this property

Boaters paradise, beautiful cottage on canal 100 feet from lake.

Quaint and cozy property offering 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths with open floor plan throughout the dining room, living room and kitchen space with vaulted ceilings. Rustic cabin situated on the canal just houses from the lake! Enjoy lake views from your front deck with plenty of space to dock your pontoon and water toys. Newly renovated laundry room. Great for fisherman, hunters and families. Easy access to ORV trails and lake access 1 block away for ice fisherman.

The lake can be quite shallow at times just outside of our canal. We can't control the lake level or Mother Nature. It usually is plenty deep for a pontoon or an average fishing boat however you will probably have to tilt your motor up. Stay in the center of the canal and head straight out into the lake until you are in at least 3 feet of water.

Renters are expected to fill out the rental agreement with the host and return to the host before rental begins.

We have 3 outside cameras for security purposes.
Camera 1 is located on the SE corner of the cottage monitoring the side yard
Camera 2 is located on NE corner of the cottage monitoring the deck/dock.
Camera 3 is located on NW corner of the cottage monitoring the side yard
We have a Ring doorbell camera located by the front entrance to for security purposes.
