About This Home

Take a deep breath of fresh air, put your feet up and decompress...you have just discovered the ideal setting for rest and rejuvenation! The land itself contributed to creating this tranquil log cabin type home. Logs harvested from the 2.11 acre wooded property were carefully and lovingly stripped, hand hewn and shaped into ceiling beams, railings & banisters. Mosey on over to the ''bar'' and settle up against more smooth, original hand hewn edging and foot rest encompassing the kitchen peninsula. Plenty of complimentary wood cabinetry blends into the theme of the home and offers room for all your kitchen equipment! Soaring exposed wood rafters in the great room, spacious, open loft with birds-eye view of the activity below, knotty pine walls throughout & black matt accents, country decor and fixtures create the feel of a lodge nestled deep in the woods. The wood stove gives plenty of cozy heat for those fall and winter nights and an ingenious distribution fan/system pulls & redirects that extra ceiling heat into the first floor bedrooms! The outbuilding has a fantastic workshop and 8+ foot high carport/lean-to for your vehicle, boat, camper or even picnic area. Summer days can be spent fishing or kayaking on 59 acre Walkup Lake with which you have access or outside on the covered front porch which runs the length of the home. Maybe you prefer meditating in the screen house which is surrounded by trees and foliage & has clear removable panels for those rainy days. With Manistee National Forest yards from the property, think ATV, snowmobiling, hiking, and hunting practically in your own front yard! The house comes furnished (See list of furniture) with a good supply of wood for campfires in the fire pit and fuel for the stove. This little home in the big woods will call the naturalist, hunter, sportsmen and contemplator alike!
