Property Description
Authentic Up North charm meets a complete top-to-bottom renovation in this beautifully restored log cabin near Houghton Lake. The main cabin showcases exposed log walls, vaulted wood ceilings, rustic log beams, refinished hardwood floors, and a cozy Gas stove fireplace. The updated kitchen features new cabinetry, modern appliances, and a farmhouse-style sink, while the remodeled bathroom includes a new vanity, vessel sink, shower, and convenient main-floor laundry. A finished sleeping loft provides additional space for overnight guests. Major improvements include a brand-new metal roof, R-20 roof insulation, new heating system, new water heater, updated kitchen and bathroom fixtures, washer, dryer, refinished flooring, and numerous additional upgrades throughout. The detached 36' x 20' garage offers much more than storage. A fully finished 20' x 20' section has been transformed into an impressive guest cottage and entertainment space featuring tile floors, decorative copper-toned tin ceilings, rich wood trim and wainscoting, custom lighting, a bar area, and plenty of room for relaxing and gathering. Behind it is an additional 14' x 16' heated and insulated garage, ideal for ATVs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, tools, or recreational equipment. Located within walking distance of road-end access to Houghton Lake and just off the Owens Drive trailhead, this property is perfectly positioned for boating, fishing, ATV riding, snowmobiling, and year-round Northern Michigan recreation. Whether you are looking for a vacation retreat, year-round residence, or an Up North getaway with exceptional guest accommodations, this one-of-a-kind property is ready to enjoy.
