Description

This beautiful 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath, 1+ story cedar log cabin with a full finished walk-out basement sits right on the Muskegon River, just a 25-minute drive from Houghton Lake, 30 minutes to Lake City, or 1 hour from Traverse City. Nestled near the end of a quiet private road and only steps from the water and forest trails, peace and tranquility await you. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, this property is an excellent investment opportunity or the perfect getaway for personal use. Enjoy the fresh air and stunning views as the river gently flows by. Whether you love hiking, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, or hunting, this is truly a nature lover’s paradise. A 24kW backup generator provides peace of mind during any power outage, so you can relax and unwind without worry. Sellers are willing to share financials with qualified buyers and assist with a smooth transition into your own Airbnb/VRBO portfolio.
