Property Description
Escape the noise and rediscover the art of simplified living at this hidden gem off the historic Gunflint Trail. Situated on a heavily wooded, elevated 1.5-acre lot, this rustic one-room seasonal cabin offers the ultimate private waterfront retreat. Boasting 263 feet of pristine, rocky shoreline on West Twin Lake—one of Cook County's most beautiful and peaceful inland waters—this property is a dream come true for outdoor enthusiasts, minimalist seekers, or anyone looking for a dedicated North Shore escape.
Property Highlights
• The Cabin: Built in 1998, this cozy 160-square-foot, single-story frame cabin features classic wood and metal siding. It is a true rustic "blank canvas" studio designed to maximize your connection with nature while keeping footprints small and maintenance effortless. Cozy propane stove to get the chill off! OR heat up the darling barrel sauna and really get toasty and go jump in the lake!
• The Setting: Heavily blanketed by mature trees, the elevated home site commands breathtaking, panoramic views of the surrounding hills, bluffs, and changing lake colors.
• Waterfront Living: Enjoy your own private slice of the lake. The user-friendly shoreline is perfect for launching a canoe or kayak for a misty morning paddle. Fitness enthusiasts will love the step-workout down to the water and back!
• Warm & Cozy: Equipped with a heating stove to take the chill off those crisp autumn North Woods nights.
Location & Adventure
Tucked away on a private road, this escape ensures complete peace and quiet, yet keeps you within striking distance of the best of the Arrowhead Region. Take the scenic drive up the Gunflint Trail, wind past the South Brule River, and immerse yourself in the boundary-waters lifestyle. Whether you use it as a base camp for hunting and fishing, a writer's retreat, or a footprint to eventually build your dream lake home, 113 Winter Wren Road represents rare, affordable value on an inland lake.
A Note for Viewings: Turn left 17 miles up the Gunflint Trail onto South Brule River Road, travel 6 miles to The Grade, turn left and go 4.5 miles to Winter Wren Road. Go right for 0.5 miles to find this secluded paradise. Follow the signs and arrows to your new getaway!
