About this property

Cabin on Whalen Lake

Original log cabin on Whalen Lake. Walk right out your front door to the lake on a level lot. Nice patio to hang out and enjoy the view of the lake. The charcoal grill sits on the patio for cooking your favorite meal while watching the lake at the same time. Also enjoy the great views of the lake around a crackling fire in the firepit. The cabin is compact but has plenty of room for up to 6 people. Don't miss your chance to stay at this authentic lake front log cabin.
Features:
Snowmobile trails close by, ride in ride out right from the cabin. Trails are accessible from the campground behind and directly across US 10.
There is paid trailer parking available for ORV and snowmobile trailers across the street at the neighbor's property. You can pay the owner directly.
Hiking and biking trails close to the cottage in Leverentz Lake State Forest Campground.
Quiet no wake lake.
Great fishing with bluegills, peach, large mouth and small mouth bass in the lake.
Close to town for any shopping needs.
Great places to eat including Barski, Shoeys Log Bar and Chase Creek Smokehouse.

Please note that you will be sent our rental agreement once you book your stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Unfortunately, the weather messed up our fishing. But we had a great time here anyway.
