About This Home

As of October 2017

TINY HOUSE LOVERS...Two great cottages, one great lake. Located in the quiet Harbert lakefront neighborhood of Birchwood, sits two cabins with lots of history. One, originally used at the carriage house and stable, and the other originally the laundry for this close knit enclave that included the likes of Carl Sandburg. Each little cottage has been carefully maintained and enjoyed by the same owners for over forty years. The summer cabins are less than 500’ from the lake. The Teahouse has one bedroom, full bath, laundry, living room & screen porch. The other, Weatherwood, has two bedrooms, full kitchen, full bath and screen porch. You could enjoy many more years of summer memories in them, or design something new on this lot across from the lake.
