Maggie's kennel is in the Master bedroom but she sometimes prefers the king-size bed. 😊Walk-in shower and soaking tub are in the Master bathroom. Second bedroom (Guest) has it's own bathroom on other side of the house. The large kitchen with island is easy to use.
The utility room is just inside for boots, shoes and coats. There is a washer/dryer, deep sink, and closet.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

We love the serene beauty of the north woods and it's wildlife. Being 25 minutes from town is perfect for a beautiful night sky and easy for shopping as well.
Our neighbors are trustworthy and loved.
Fishing is up the road and that road is great for walking/biking and enjoying the woods.
