About This Home

Welcome to your Up North getaway! This 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom log cabin sits on 3 beautiful acres with approx. 480 feet of frontage on the Sturgeon River in Pelkie, MI. Thoughtfully updated and wheelchair accessible, you'll appreciate the large deck ramp leading to the front door, fresh paint, new carpet, new lighting, exterior door, and new sliding glass door. The open-concept kitchen and living room feature a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, giving that cozy cabin feel with great space to gather! Step out onto the huge 11x27 deck—perfect for entertaining—then head down to the fire pit or take a stroll down the road to the cleared path to your own sandy beach on the river. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee, kayaking, swimming, or just floating the day away, this stretch of the Sturgeon River offers endless enjoyment! The full basement includes extra living space (pool table stays!), laundry, utility room, a wood stove backup, and an exterior door for easy wood hauling. The detached 2-car garage (built in 2012) has power and a handy workbench. Enjoy gorgeous landscaping with lilacs, roses, hydrangeas, and other annual blooms across a spacious yard! Located just 2.8 miles from the Otter Lake public launch and 6.4 miles to Kurt’s Corner Store (gas, groceries, house-made pizza & ice cream!). Positioned perfectly between Houghton and L’Anse, this place makes a great year-round home, weekend getaway, or potential vacation rental!
