About this property

Rare Find: Private Cottage on 500 ft of Clear Waterfront — Book Your Escape

Welcome to your private lakefront cottage retreat on a quiet, forested point overlooking both Dickey Lake and its peaceful bay. Ideal for families and groups seeking space, privacy, and direct waterfront living, this Western Red Cedar Pan-Abode cabin sits on 2 fully forested acres with winding paths, shaded hideaways, and plenty of places to explore or simply unwind.

Unmatched Waterfront + Outdoor Fun

Dickey Lake is a Class 5 lake—deep, clean, and known for its crystal-clear swimming. Your stay includes 500 ft of private waterfront, a large 10' x 20' floating dock, and an 8-ft deep swimming area perfect for jumping in on hot days. You’ll also enjoy a gentle sandy beach entry for little ones.

For endless on-the-water fun, we provide:

Canoe

3 Kayaks

Stand-Up Paddleboard

Large Lily Pad

Fishing is excellent right off the dock, and you may even be joined by the loons that nest nearby—they often fish off the point and offer that unmistakable summer lake soundtrack.

Outdoor Living at Its Best

The expansive deck outside the kitchen overlooks the quiet bay and is designed for relaxation, conversation, and lake breezes. It includes:

Comfortable couch + lounge chair set

Hammock

Picnic table

BBQ

Evenings are pure magic here—choose between the wood-burning fireplace inside the cabin, the Fire Orb at the point for stargazing, or the propane fire pit by the dock for lakeside nights.

Comfortable Cottage Living

Inside the cabin, you’ll find the warmth and charm of handcrafted cedar, along with everything you need for a carefree stay:

Four bedrooms

One bathroom with tub

Refreshing outdoor shower

Fully equipped kitchen

WIFI

Satellite TV & DVD player with hundreds of movies

Wood-burning fireplace for cool nights

This is the kind of cottage where memories are made—spacious, private, quiet, and surrounded by nature, with all the comforts you want for an easy, stress-free getaway.

Secure your dates now and experience the peaceful retreat families return to year after year.
