    What's special

    Enjoy one of the best views on Long Lake in this completely remodeled cottage with 100' of sand-bottom frontage! From it's slightly elevated position it hosts glorious sunrise views over the islands, and there are just a few steps in between you and the prime waterfront. Open to the big water, it's perfect for swimming, boating, and other water sports. The home was remodeled in the last few years with modern touches while still retaining the charming elements of a vintage cottage - a third bedroom and second bath were added, the kitchen was opened up and a seldom-used mudroom was transformed into a spacious dining room. The original wood floors in the living room were retained and wood floors were added into the rest of the cottage. Rooms were beautifully repainted in a pleasing neutral color palate, tile was added in the kitchen backsplash and bathrooms, along with new lighting fixtures. You'll find an additional finished sleeping space at the rear of the over-sized garage. Relax outside on the front patio or the water-side full length deck. Nestled on the water's edge is a classic boat house with a picnic area on top - the perfect spot for enjoying the vantage point this property offers. Welcome to life on Long Lake!
