About this home

Start making unforgettable memories at this two-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin right on the water’s edge of Big Portage Lake. The large platform deck is the perfect place to sip your morning coffee and enjoy summer cookouts overlooking the lake. Inside, you’ll find true "up north" charm with tongue-and-groove ceilings and other beautiful wood accents throughout. After a fun-filled day in the sun, come inside and recharge in the comfort of the ductless mini-split A/C, which also provides heat on those colder days in the early spring or late fall. The cabin will be sold turn-key, with all of the furniture included, as well as many lake toys stored in your shed across the road.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
