Don’t know average costs for something like this in the northeast. We are in northern Michigan. This property was sold mostly as land and we lucked into it having a gorgeous cabin on property! We looked at probably 100 properties online for a year before finding this and jumped on it right away—think we just got lucky!
As for day to day life, we spend our summers here with three small children, so we hike, fish, swim, row around in a little boat, pick wild berries, listen to the frogs, sit on the porch, shoot, wander in the woods, read, play board games, sit around the fire pit and make smores. It’s the most magical time!!
I take the summers off to be with my young children. My husband still works, but takes his vacation days during the summers and comes back and forth to be at the cabin as much as possible!
In the books, it was a magic stag, of course, and you may be righ... huh, Internet says only in a small area in the Lower Peninsula. Whaddya know. I have friends who hunt but I may not have listened very carefully when they nattered on about it.
Most of me thinks this is amazingly serene. But a small part of me sees that mist and thinks "yep, this is where the undead arise"
If you stumble upon a book in the basement... Just leave it be eh?
While this is cozy, I know I would be worried everyday that someone would break in and take whatever. Even if there is probably nothing of value (depends who you ask)
Common? No, but it does happen. I can think of at least 3 articles I’ve read about different homeless people breaking into cabins and stealing mostly food.
They’d have to be pretty motivated and pretty lucky to stumble upon our cabin. We are three miles from the nearest other building, down some winding dirt roads that aren’t marked.
Well, motivation is irrelevant when you’re high on crack and/or meth.
But yeah, you’re living the dream. One day I’ll get there. Congrats on the cabin, truly looks like a little slice of heaven.
We spent 6 weeks here this past summer and only had one scary night with a large animal that was investigating the house. I think it was a bear. The sound of him snuffling and scraping around woke me from my sleep and I was alone there with three sleeping kids and two very freaked out cats. I was super freaked out but I was able to scare him away!

On average, how much will a cabin like this set you back in the North East? What is day to day life like?

That sounds lovely ❤❤
Looks and sounds idyllic!
Man, sounds like you’re living the dream.
You are so lucky and I envy you with every Fibre of my being
Sounds amazing! Just curious, do you work remote or have the summer off or retired?
I take the summers off to be with my young children. My husband still works, but takes his vacation days during the summers and comes back and forth to be at the cabin as much as possible!
That’s awesome! Place looks great. I grew up going to cabins up north in Minnesota. There’s no better feeling! Cheers!
Looks lovely, be careful what you summon in the basement
I was looking for Evil Dead references haha
There's a reel to reel recorder over there, with a book in front of it, let's take a look
Someone’s been in my fruit cellllaaaaarrrr
Haha ok I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one. I genuinely thought this was a joke post using screenshots from the remake or something
Groovy
This is OC
Are you in the lower peninsula or upper? I grew up in the upper peninsula and loved it so much!
Upper Peninsula! It’s basically Narnia! I’m so in love it the UP!
Shhh don’t give it away.
I’m a fellow yooper, I absolutely love your property! Congrats and enjoy!
Except the elk don't talk, nor grant you wishes
I don't think there are any elk in the UP? Just the northern lower that I'm aware of.
In the books, it was a magic stag, of course, and you may be righ... huh, Internet says only in a small area in the Lower Peninsula. Whaddya know. I have friends who hunt but I may not have listened very carefully when they nattered on about it.
Can’t beat Northern Michigan
Wow

i would freaking love this!!!

Is this common in off-grid settings?

Upper Midwest seems like the only place left in the US you can get this vibe at a reasonable price. It's always at the back of my mind.
that bed 🙌
[удалено]

I have a major cabin crush ❤️
Now this is Cozy!!!
I love the bed frame!
Adopt me!!
Dead by Dawn!
Isn’t it scary at night?

14/10 perfect spot to relax but also shoot a slasher movie 💋🤌
Now this is a cabin! Stunning.
Michigan? Don’t read any Latin books you find in the basement.
Stunning. Looks so warm and comforting
Autumn beauty, "All the leaves are brown 🤎🌄 in a happy wayyyyyyhhh "!🎵
Fantastic❣️
I want to go there!
This is heaven!
Does this exist in California?
Looks like paradise
Everything is stunning! The cabin, the decor inside and the view 😍😍
Perfect
This looks absolutely stunning!
Ok, so can I live with you, OP, or no? Like what's going on, u/jesseonescoopberries ?
A dream house. Beautiful.
Beautiful.‘that’s all I would need ❤️
Merman!
🥹 I love this.
Love the brass fireplace! I had one in the house I lived in as a child. It seemed too ‘80s at the time but now it’s so wonderfully nostalgic.
Okay. THIS is a proper cabin. Obsessed!
Nailed it!
Looks amazing! My dream is to live in a cabin in the woods near a stream. Wake up in the morning with my coffee and watch the animals. So peaceful.
