Elkhorn Cabin:Ultra Cozy Experience: New King Bed

The Elkhorn Log Cabin, located in the scenic town of Wolverine, Michigan, has undergone a meticulous restoration to create an ambiance of warmth and charm. The restoration process involved the careful use of locally sourced, reclaimed woods and materials, resulting in a rustic yet refined atmosphere. The strategically placed windows provide stunning views of the surrounding forest and encourage natural airflow. In my opinion there is not many places that surpass this idyllic location.

Paradise Lake House is a three bed one bath house with a great view of the lake. It sits on a nice lot with an additional guest cabin that can be rented with the house as well. Separate Listing ( Gull Cottage). The house is three bedrooms one bath. Paradise Lake, in my opinion, is one of the most under rated lakes in Northern Michigan. It is a 1900 Acre all sports lake.
