Looking for the kind of classic summer cabin where you can slow down, unplug, and spend your days on the water? Here is your chance to own an adorable little lake cottage on the Eagle River Chain of Lakes at a price that is nearly impossible to find anymore! This seasonal, standalone 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin offers 80 feet of level, sandy, river frontage with direct access to the chain and it’s NOT a condo. Full of Northwoods charm, this cozy getaway features a 3-sided screened porch that is perfect for morning coffee, evening cocktails, card games with friends, or simply relaxing and taking in the view. Bring your hammock, your fishing poles, and your favorite people — this is the kind of place where summer memories are made. Enjoy your own private pier and boat lift, with just a short boat ride to Yellow Birch Lake. This cabin is already connected to city sewer, city water. It also features a new rotten granite driveway and parking area, plus a kayak and kayak rack so you can start enjoying lake life immediately. The cabin does need some handyman work, so don’t expect perfection — but the possibilities here are endless. Use the existing cottage as your affordable Northwoods escape or build your future dream getaway on this beautiful buildable lot. Opportunities like this on the Eagle River Chain are almost gone, so don’t let this one slip away!
