Vintage Cabin on Beautiful Lake O'brien - Includes Pontoon Boat
If you are looking for the true cabin experience, look no further! This classic 1950's property includes a 2 bedroom/1 bath main cabin, 1 bedroom/1 bath guest house, and a free standing sauna; all in a stand of mature pine trees that will take your breathe away. The property was purchased by my wife and I in 2017 and was completely renovated. A small but efficient layout, the main cabin has 2 bedrooms with double beds, a 3/4 bath, living room with wood burning fireplace and dining room with great lake views. The kitchen includes a 2 burner cooktop, a microwave/convection oven combo, fridge and a single bowl sink. The indoor space flows to an outdoor area with fire pit and grill. The rental comes complete with a pontoon boat (2018 Bennington), and a new large platform dock that makes spending time on the lake simple and enjoybale! For those that like to stay connected or not miss the big game, both the main and guest cabin have high definition TV's with local cable service, and both structures have free Wi-Fi. In addition, both structures include air conditioning for those muggy summer nights! And for those cooler nights, the property has a free standing sauna with electric heater. Take a dip in the lake afterwards to complete your sauna experience!
