About This Home
As of February 2020(1) Private Lake. This is 1 of 9 cottages. (2) 794 acres 1/6th undivided ownership. (3) 545 feet water frontage. (4) Log lodge and guest house. Cabin Lake has been in the family for 57 years. Cabins are cherished and handed down, generation to generation. We know of just 3 cottages in Cabin Lake Club that sold since its creation in 1925. Hillcrest is a 2,140SF, 1945 cabin, full log, with full log 1939 guest house. Built well, they are lovingly maintained. 794 acres of hilly, attractive forest surrounds the lake, owned equally by 6 families. Your 1/6 ownership interest comes with Hillcrest! At Cabin Lake Club there are no dues, and no association. Cabins sit back from the shore with 5 acres on the lake. 7,000 feet of the shore is undeveloped by choice. The gated entrance is posted. Hillcrest has end-of-the-road privacy. The 180-degree view through hardwoods and pines from this point on the lake is especially lovely. And the rivers! Your shared acreage includes 2.7 miles of undeveloped frontage on The Rifle River and the West Branch of the Rifle, both State Designated Wild & Scenic Rivers, both excellent dry fly trout streams. Headwaters Land Conservancy has a conservation easement on a total of 949 acres surrounding the lake, insuring the beauty remains forever, and this conservation easement abuts a mile of State forest. Trails run through your land, wonderful for hunters, sightseeing, mountain biking, and off-road vehicles. Cabin Lake is just right for row boats, canoes, paddleboats, kayaks, paddleboards, windsurfers and small sail boats. The lake is spring fed with no inlet or outlet. Fishing is wonderful. The lake has not been overfished as it is private and there are just nine cottages. We see deer, bald eagles, owls, wild songbirds and warblers. Ducks, geese, loons and herons live here. This property is only two hours from the Detroit suburbs on I-75, so you'll use it on a whim. The West Branch airport for light aircraft is 3 miles towards town.
