About 87126 County Road 687

Escape to the woods and unwind at this cozy 3 bed, 2 bath log cabin, nestled on nearly 4 acres with over 250 feet of private frontage on quiet Brown Lake. Currently a thriving Airbnb, this place is made for making memories--morning coffee on the dock, lazy afternoons on the water, and evenings by the firepit. Snowmobile trails are right nearby for winter fun, and Sister Lakes is just 5 minutes away for food, wine, and live music. Under 2 hours from Chicago, it's the kind of spot people dream about--whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, an income-generating rental, or both.
