It's a great place to land if you're visiting friends/family in town, planning to hunt, fish, boat, ski, snowshoe or snowmobile in the area, or if you just need to unplug and rejuvenate. This house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and is all on one level. Guests also have access to a washer and dryer. Windows overlook the beautiful Michigamme River where wildlife, such as eagles, hawks, geese, otters, beaver, groundhogs, chipmunks, squirrels, many species of birds, fox, deer, turkeys, and even a moose have been seen. There are also fish in the river - muskie, bass, rock bass and trout to name a few.
