Enjoy your stay at a Lakefront Rustic cabin!

Welcome to our century-old lake cabin on Big Spirit Lake, where generations have made lasting memories. This well-loved home is full of rustic charm, history, and character. While thoughtfully updated, you’ll still notice the quirks and signs of age that make it unique. If you appreciate authentic lake living over luxury, you’ll love peaceful sunsets, days on the water, evenings around the fire, and creating unforgettable memories with family and friends.

With 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen, you’ll find everything you need to enjoy your time away from home.



Some things to note in regards to the home:
-Due to the home being over 100 years old you may notice some floor slanting in the kitchen and 2 main floor bedrooms. This has never been an issue but it’s a good thing to note.
-This home does not have central AC/heat. A/C is monitored by window units. Heat is monitored by smart wall heaters and a propane fire place. The home stays nicely cooled/heated year round. The baseboard heaters are not functional as they pose fire hazard so they are disconnected.
-The dock is guaranteed to be in the lake from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. The boat hoist will not be available this summer, however there is a boat loading area 1/4 a mile from the home available for anyone to load and unload their boat into the lake.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen. The vacation home also includes a washing machine.
