This comfortable family cottage situated on Walloon Lake is an original log cabin masterpiece on a spacious parcel of land. Offering just over 3 acres and 246 feet of private beach frontage makes renting on Walloon Lake even more relaxing! Enjoy hard-packed, sandy bottom lakefront with plenty of space for yard games and family gatherings!
Parking is perched at the top of the sloped hill and the staircases on either side of the cottage will lead you down towards the entrance to the home or to the grassy front yard and waterfront. Upon entering the side door, you will find the original kitchen full of character, where many family meals and traditions have been made. This space is complete with a small sitting area with a TV as well. Off the back of the kitchen is a full bathroom and one bedroom, which could be considered more as the “primary,” although the full bathroom services the kitchen area as well. Our favorite part is stepping through the swing door from the kitchen onto the platform staircase that overlooks the massive great room with a stone fireplace, a mini bar area to pull up a stool, and large windows overlooking the lake. A great place for conversations, games, puzzles, and drinks! Taking the opposite stairs and swing door to the other wing of the cottage you will find the guest rooms. You must walk through a bedroom to get to another one; however, all bedrooms have an outside door available, which offers private entrances to the courtyard or outside deck to enjoy morning coffee and not disturb others. Spending time on the lake includes many hours on the spacious front porch.
While the cottage does not include air conditioning, we provide box fans, and some of the screened windows welcome in lake breezes to help keep things cool during the warmer months.
This well-loved cottage has a picturesque setting that has created many old memories and blessings on the lake - As the plaque on the fireplace states, “Who Enters Here With Good Intent, Shall Go Fourth With Blessings Sent.”
