Nestled beneath a canopy of mature trees, this enchanting 3-bedroom, 2-bath Dutch Colonial-inspired stone and log-sided home offers a rare blend of timeless craftsmanship and Northwoods charm. Located in the heart of the lake country between Grindstone Lake and Lac Courte Oreilles, this cottage offers countless outdoor recreation opportunities and feels as though it was lifted straight from the pages of a storybook.

Lovingly cared for by the same family for over 40 years, this home has been a place of shelter, celebration, and cherished memories. The grounds have been carefully nurtured over the years, transforming sandy soil into flourishing gardens that complement the natural beauty of the setting. The detached garage is an oversized 1-car (16x32) that has been insulated with spray foam and heatable. A 10x10 she-shed, doghouse, and storage shed rounds the many outbuildings on the property.
