“A cabin in the woods” … a simple enough idea. If you’ve ever wished to own one, you know finding such a thing is no simple task. A rustic cabin with acreage in Harbor Springs…? Many would say those have long been extinct, not so. Take a step off the paved roads North of town and unwind the years to a time when Northern Michigan was unplugged. This historic one-room cabin on 33 wooded acres has been painstakingly restored with an eye to originality and only the very essential modern amenities. Electricity is generated by a new Yeti solar panel system, and water is drawn from a buried cistern. Tucked quietly on a seasonal portion of Middle Village Road, you may choose to read on your screened-in porch or just sit and overlook the wildlife and flowing creek (when nature permits). Feel like a walk-about? The famed North Country Trail is steps from the cabin door, and you can trek it’s full 4800 miles from Vermont to North Dakota. Perhaps a mountain bike ride in fall or snowshoe excursion in winter before you warm by the new propane fired stove. Hunt your own land or the hundreds of neighboring State-owned acres. Two outbuildings measuring 10 x 14 and 14 x 36 provide a full-bath, room for bunks, ample storage, and a small workshop. The activities are nearly endless, and Wi-Fi will be the least of everyone’s worries.
