About this property
Okiwayway's Bungalow [formerly Betula Cabin] renovated waterfront rustic cabin
Thank you for considering Okiwayway's bungalow for your next vacation. This home has been a labor of love and a dream come true for us and we are happy to share it with you.
A few things to consider before reading further.
- as of 2024 this cabin DOES have AC in each bedroom.
- this cabin does not have a TV but does have wifi.
plenty of board and card games though
- The deck has been installed in 2024 but we aren't able to capture it in the photos.
- There are two cameras on property facing the parking area.
Okiwayway's bungalow was formerly known as Betula Cabin. The cabin (built in 1941 using cedar and field stones on the property) remains largely intact offering a genuine log cabin experience.
What we have updated the bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms. See below:
The master bedroom and bunk rooms are now on opposite sides of the cabin for greater privacy and easier access from both rooms to the water. Both rooms have closets with shelves, and luggage racks to settle in and feel at home and curtains for privacy. The masterbedroom room includes a loft offering a wonderful view of the lake and dock. The master bedroom has dimmable lights inside and dimmable remote lights outside. The bunks room has a modern chandelier and dimmable remote lights outside.
The bathroom has been split into separate toilet, shower, and vanity rooms allowing flexibility for guests. The shower room and toilet room heated floors (do not set above 75oF) to keep your feet warm on the cooler days. There is a storage closest in the vanity room where towels, first aid, toilet paper, extra bed sheets, vacuums, and cleaning supplies are stored.
The kitchen has been expanded and the mini electric range replaced with full sized four burner induction cooktop with induction compatible pots and pans. Please note then oven has been replaced with a combo microwave/oven/airfryer We have added pull out racks making it easier to access cookware from the shelves below the counter. And open shelving above the counter for easier access to dishes. Coffee machine, french press, and pour over are included and a coffee bean grinder for those who prefer fresh ground beans. A new sink has been installed with extendable faucet and glass rinser (like the ones you see at a bar!). The dining table is now in the kitchen (formerly in the living room)
Okiwayway Bungalow is connected via Google home and can be accessed via the ipad provided.
In the living room is an stereo with indoor and outdoor speaker sets. Music can be played either indoor or outdoor or both by selecting/deselecting the A and B areas on the unit. the stereo is connected to a Bluetooth receiver to play music from you smartphone.
Water proof blue tooth speaker with LED lights is included as well as bug spray and sun tan lotion. There is a small tool ikea tool kit provided for any quick fixes.
Washer and Dryer are in the shed as before. With Tide pods and fabric softener provided.
Seasoned firewood is provided.
A 6000lbs electric boat hoist is available (not for pontoons). For boats that will not fit poles are available on the opposite side to tie up to.
The dock has two sets of steps to enter/exit the water and a bench to enjoy the sunsets from.
