Cozy two bedroom year-round home located only a short distance from Lake Vermilion, downtown, hiking and biking trails, public beach, and other local amenities. The home features a gas fireplace in the living room, and a free standing gas fireplace in the finished porch. Ductless air for those few hot days of summer. Would make a great cabin for those looking for seasonal use.
