Description

Just 300 Steps to Lake Michigan! Nestled in the heart of Michiana, this charming log cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic character and lakeside living. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, the home boasts vaulted ceilings, a striking fieldstone fireplace, and a spacious three-season porch—ideal for relaxing after a day at the beach. Rare opportunity to own a sought-after original Michiana log cabin, now featuring a newly finished balcony perched in the treetops—perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. Additional highlights include a full basement and a one-car garage, providing ample storage and convenience. Recent updates include a 3-year-old roof, newer hot water tank, and a remodeled main bath. Upstairs you’ll find newer windows, fresh drywall, and generously sized closets. While the home could use a touch of TLC, it presents an incredible opportunity to craft your dream beach retreat. Enjoy one of the largest beaches at Stop 41 and become part of a vibrant resort community known for its million-dollar homes, new tennis and pickleball courts, bocce ball, and updated playground.
