The road to this beautiful, vintage cottage is part of the destination itself. Tucked at the end of a winding, wooded drive, so beautiful you’ll want to walk it daily, this seasonal log-sided retreat welcomes you with the kind of quiet only nature can provide. Wild ferns line stone pavers as you approach the entry, where a hand-laid stone chimney rises through the roof and cedar trees gently whisper above. Set on nearly 2 acres with an extraordinary 383 feet of shoreline, this property is a rare and coveted find on Woman Lake, a lake known for its crystal waters, natural beauty, and sense of peace that’s harder and harder to come by. Step into the window-wrapped porch, where log walls frame sweeping lake views. From there, a well-sized kitchen awaits, centered beneath a vintage glass light fixture that softly reflects the hues of the forest beyond. Wide-planked wood ceilings with exposed beams stretch above, and rich knotty pine flows through every room, creating a sense of timeless craftsmanship and comfort. The dining area sits before a grand lake-facing window, while the stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the heart of the home. Built-ins throughout, the kind you rarely see anymore, add both character and function, from bookshelves to drawers to a small writing desk tucked into a bedroom. Each of the three bedrooms offers a different experience of the surrounding woods and water. One offers a private bath and built-in workspace with peaceful views. Another opens to the deck through sliding doors, so close to the lake you’ll fall asleep to the sound of water lapping at the shore and trees rustling overhead. The third has space for multiple beds and two windows framing the quiet beauty of the forest. Outside, the cedar-wrapped deck was built around the trees, providing shade, privacy, and a front-row seat to the calm of a no-wake zone. There are no neighbors in sight, just the lake, the sky, and the scent of pine. A charming boathouse with a lake ramp and a log-sided firewood shed adds practical charm to this scarce offering. This is more than a cabin; it’s a sanctuary. A place that welcomes you with warmth, holds you with peace, and reminds you, at every turn, that the best places don’t just shelter you, they transform you.
