The covered porch overlooks sparkling Spider Lake, where red-winged blackbirds provide the daily soundtrack. There’s room to add a garage with bonus space—or perhaps another building site among the trees. Spider Lake is beloved for its year-round recreation: boating, fishing, paddling, swimming, snowmobiling, and peaceful coffee mornings on the dock. The beach is pure sand with a sandy bottom, perfect for barefoot fun. This isn’t just a cottage—it’s a lifestyle. And no TV is needed. NOTE: Bedroom 2 and 3 are non conforming by not having a closet. Sewer is marked unknown due to MLS options, but it is a holding tank, pump and haul system.
