About this property

Little Prairie House on the Lake

Restored 1920s Farmhouse/Cabin on the prairie with access to beautiful Silver Lake. Escape to a quiet peaceful rest. Paddleboat, kayak, or take a leisure nature walk. Lake is stocked with walleye and several types of panfish. Watch bald eagles, Canadian geese, blue heron, deer, and other friendly critters. Stargaze away from city lights against a black velvet sky while bullfrogs serenade. Full kitchen with keurig coffee, French press, and all amenities. This retreat is rustic with original oak flooring. comfortable and relaxed. Lot is mostly mowed with some natural prairie grass for effect.
Queen bed in Master bedroom. 3 singles (bunk beds and twin in two other bedrooms. 1 1/2 baths with tub/shower combo and comfy couch in living room. Please be aware this is an old farmhouse on what was once prairie next to a lake. We do our best to keep things clean but it's not antiseptic. Things can get a bit dusty if it's windy and you're liable to find insects and critters on the property. Think Little House in the Prairie vs the Hilton:)

Ring camera installed pointing toward driveway from front porch only for security reasons for guests and property.
