About this home
Escape to Your Rustic Hideaway on Big Blake Lake!
Leave the city behind and discover the peace and beauty of this charming half-log cedar cabin, nestled on a spectacularly wooded lot overlooking Big Blake Lake. Owned by one family since 1954 and used only as a 3-season cabin, this beloved retreat has been thoughtfully maintained and updated while preserving its timeless character.
In 2019, the original ½ cedar logs were completely refinished, and both a new roof and septic system were installed. The lakefront was professionally rip-rapped by Pro Lawn, offering both beauty and lasting protection.
Enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from your dining room table, set before a wall of windows with sweeping views of the lake.
Big Blake Lake is known for excellent bass, panfish, and musky fishing, with occasional northern pike and walleye. It’s also a prime spot for boating and water sports — spend sunny afternoons waterskiing, wakeboarding, tubing, or just cruising the shoreline. With a nearby boat landing, getting on the water is quick and easy.
Wander the densely wooded lot, taking in the peaceful sounds of birds and rustling leaves.
Inside, relax by the stone fireplace surrounded by tongue-and-groove knotty pine walls. The open-concept design creates a cozy, spacious atmosphere. A porch doubles as a second bedroom, complete with its own electric stove.
The cabin is heated with a potbelly stove, and includes:
• 2 storage sheds
• Furniture included (except the kitchen table and chairs)
• Nearby boat landing
• New hot water heater.
When you walk in for the first time, you’ll feel it — a sense of romance, nostalgia, and the warmth of decades of family fun. This is more than just a cabin; it’s a legacy waiting to be continued.
Make this rustic lakeside gem your own!
