Camp Helen – A Year-Round Retreat with a Nordic Soul Tucked into over 5 wooded acres with 367 feet of private frontage on tranquil Helen Lake, this updated 2-bedroom + loft, getaway is where memories are made in every season. The current owners have brought fresh life to the space with a clean, Nordic-inspired aesthetic—painted interiors, thoughtful touches, & a hot tub added for those starry nights. Lake views greet you from nearly every window, whether you're sipping morning coffee, curled up with a book, or winding down after a day on the trails. Inside, the open living and dining space captures maximum sunlight, while the kitchen offers 11 feet of counter space to spread out easy meals for a crowd. Two main floor bedrooms plus a loft provide flexible sleeping options, and downstairs you'll find an electric sauna & a second shower for those après-snowmobile or swimming evenings. A 24x48 garage, 20x30 heated workshop, & woodshed offer room for all your tools & toys. Horseshoe pit, gazebo, dock, & a jumbo grill—it’s all set up for making the most of lake life. Township limits may affect short-term rentals; buyers are encouraged to verify. This isn’t just a camp—it’s where family stories begin. Come see for yourself, updates have been done! Many furnishings may be available by bill of sale.
