About This Home

As of June 2023

Start making wonderful memories this summer on Little Birch Lake in this cute cabin. As you drive through the towering trees you will be amazed by the up north vibes and breathtaking views of the lake. The cabin has vaulted ceilings and a number of updates so that you can move right in including: flooring, windows, water heater, refrigerator, stove and beautiful paver stairs leading to the lake. Enjoy the lake from the large wrap around deck. And you will have plenty of room for your lake toys in the 2+ stall garage. The 60 ft of lakeshore is very private and has amazing sunset views. The property was surveyed in May 2023 and the county is in process of updating their records. Little Birch is known for great fishing and recreation and is only 1 1/2 hours from the Twin Cities.
