WELCOME TO ''THE LODGE''. Steeped in history, this authentic log lodge once served as the gathering place for visitors and guests at Camp Modoc. Located along the Indian River in the area known as ''the spreads,'' it places you at the heart of Northern Michigan's Inland Waterway system. Whether you are searching for a memorable family getaway or a strong investment opportunity, The Lodge offers both character and versatility. It has remained in the same family for more than three decades, creating countless memories along the way. Now it is ready for a new generation to make it their own. COMFORT, CHARACTER, & SHARED AMENITIES: The Lodge is currently used as a year-round residence and is equally well suited for hosting family, friends, as a vacation home or an all seasons vacation rental - Open living area with log-beamed vaulted ceilings - Loft space and stone fireplace - Authentic log-cottage charm throughout - Assigned 22-foot boat slip located just outside the front door - Brand-new steel seawall completed in August - Access to nearly eight acres of Camp Modoc common area with 450 feet of river frontage The grounds are beautifully maintained and offer a quiet northern Michigan setting. An artesian spring winds through the property and beneath a wooden bridge, creating the soothing sound of moving water near the bedroom windows on cool summer evenings. Additional shared amenities include a fish-cleaning shack with lights and running water, a riverside firepit for gathering with neighbors, open lawn space for relaxing by the water, and shaded spots near the creek for a hammock or a quiet afternoon beneath the cedar and pine trees. EXCEPTIONAL WATER VIEWS: Nearly every window frames a beautiful view of the water, from vivid sunsets to swans, ducks, nesting eagles, and the ever-changing scenery of the river. The setting feels peaceful, private, and unmistakably "up north." INLAND WATERWAY ACCESS AND FOUR-SEASON RECREATION: The Indian River is the centerpiece of the renowned Inland Waterway, a 38-mile chain of interconnected lakes and rivers running from Lake Huron in Cheboygan to Crooked Lake near Petoskey. Mullett Lake is just minutes upriver, and Burt Lake is about a 30-minute boat ride southwest through Indian River. - Boating and fishing - Hiking, hunting, golf, and snowmobiling - Dining, festivals, and boat races - Convenient access to I-75 for north-south travel and M-68 for east-west routes This is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive riverfront lodge with history, character, recreation, and income potential all in one exceptional setting. Make it yours today.
