As of August 2020Fully top to bottom renovated in 2014, this unique Rainbow Lake cottage could be the perfect weekend get away or year-round place to live peacefully in a bucolic country setting.

Main level consists of living room with wood burning fireplace and unique dining area looking out the front of the house. Kitchen features stainless appliances and concrete counters. Area behind kitchen could easily be converted to 3rd bedroom. Main level also contains bedroom and full bath. Upper level is home to master bedroom, loft currently being used as office/home schooling location, full bath and laundry. Full walkout basement for storage. Very special and very charming, cozy and comfortable, quaint and zen-like. Rainbow Lake permits only non-motor boats. Two sandy beaches and voluntary HOA allows a canoe or kayak to be left at the beach. 4 seasons of outdoor activities. It's a lifestyle move, come on home!
