About This Home

As of June 2026

Escape to the river with this charming 1-bedroom cabin nestled along the Mississippi River on Corps of Engineers land. Enjoy stunning waterfront views from the open-concept living room and kitchen, featuring a sleek high-top counter perfect for morning coffee or breakfast while overlooking the river. The full bath includes a walk-in shower and direct access to the deck for easy outdoor living. Outside, you’ll find an 8x10 finished shed with a window A/C unit, ideal for extra relaxation space or storage, along with a firepit to enjoy evenings by the water. The property offers incredible wildlife viewing with eagles, geese, beavers, and excellent fishing right out your back door. A private dock provides easy access for kayaking, canoeing, or taking a flat-bottom boat out onto the Mississippi or nearby backwaters. River levels are based off the Bellevue Pool. Numerous updates have already been completed, including some siding replacement, fresh exterior paint on both the cabin and shed, deck repairs, updated furnace, LP tank, water heater, well pump, and newer flooring. A perfect river retreat ready to enjoy with furnishings included. Also, a great Winter Getaway located near Chestnut Mountain Resort for skiiing, swimming, & more. Core of Engineer Lease is $1,960/yr
