About This Home

As of August 2025

Along the tumbling, shiny waters of the East Split Rock River is this sturdy, picturesque log cabin of the Northwoods! Built in 2003, the cabin has been well cared for and is now happily settled into its home of boreal forest – fitting just so, providing a sense of harmony and peace. Inland from Beaver Bay, the locale is ideal for exploring the region. Though, what a perfect place to arrive and stay put! Nearest neighbors are furry and four-legged and it’s easy to keep it private being well off the road and surrounded by 13 acres of a thriving, pulsing northern landscape. 300+’ of river frontage to explore and get to know. The land is cool and leafy in the summer, colorful, crunchy falls, and pure, crisp winters. Spring, the river is swollen, audible, a place to study the habits of water: running down to the Big Lake, rising into clouds, coming down again as droplets to fill the rivers: rinse, wash, repeat! Inside the home is back to basics: wood, light and a steady quiet that comes from the solidity of logs emanating reliability and permanence. Two bedrooms, one of which is a sweet, lofted space. Sleeping there is the childhood dream of spending the night in the tree fort! Full bath is spacious. Open, airy kitchen which leads to the wraparound porch on two sides of the home. Porch is fully screened, an excellent place for meals, summer sleeping, studying maps for the next adventure or learning all the different warbler songs passing this way each spring – lots of reliable rhythms here. An artesian well provides an abundance of tasty water distilled and purified through the unadulterated rock and gravels underlying this ancient portion of the North American Plate. Current owners have readied the property so that the next lucky owner is all set: septic is compliant, trails are cut through the property, most of the furnishings can be included – instant getaway. Stalwart shed is new and hardy. All that’s left is for you dear reader to show up, unpack, unwind, dream a bit. Find out how it is to live in the Great Northwoods with the singing waters travelling by.
