Sunrise over Big Sandy never gets old, and there’s still time to make this cabin yours before another season passes by! With great walleye fishing right off the dock, hard-bottom shoreline and wide-open lake views, this seasonal 2-bedroom cabin has plenty to offer. Inside, custom woodwork gives the cabin a personality all its own, while lakeside windows keep the water in view. The three-season porch and lakeside deck are perfect spots for morning coffee, taking in the views or spending a little extra time at the cabin as the seasons change. The current owners have made several improvements, including replacement windows and siding, updated plumbing with all new copper water lines in 2025, a new water heater and a roof that's less than eight years old. A seldom-used path separates the cabin from the shoreline, with the dock and lake just steps away. Two storage sheds offer room for the extras, and a 2012 Godfrey Sweetwater 20-foot pontoon with an 80 HP Suzuki four-stroke motor is available for separate purchase. With nearby trails, dining and all that the Big Sandy area has to offer, this is a great chance to get your place at the lake secured now and be ready when cabin season returns!
