Property Description
Welcome to the Black Moth Cabin on Vermilac Lake in Covington Township—a stunning lakefront retreat built in 2015 with 159’ of frontage on 1 acre in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula! This beautifully designed cabin features stylish vinyl shake siding and an inviting open-concept layout. Vaulted pine tongue & groove ceilings and floor-to-ceiling Anderson windows with southern exposure showcase incredible lake views and fill the space with natural light. The kitchen was done with custom knotty hickory cabinetry, propane stove, and a hand-painted liquor cabinet for added character. Stay comfortable year-round with a Hampton wood-burning stove, high-efficiency propane wall furnace, and supplemental electric heat. Warm wood finishes, solid knotty pine doors, and trim carry throughout, creating a cohesive UP lake home feel. The main floor offers a primary bedroom, full bath, utility closet, and large pantry with crawl space access. A beautiful solid pine staircase and log banister lead to the loft which provides excellent additional sleeping space. Step outside through the living room patio doors onto the large two-tiered deck- great for entertaining, with a spacious upper level offering plenty of room for gatherings, grilling and relaxing. From there, step down to the lower patio where you’ll find a wood-fired hot tub—no chemicals, no electric bill, no noise… just peace, quiet, and unreal stargazing. The property has been nicely landscaped while maintaining a natural setting, with mature trees, large boulder retaining walls, and established flower beds. A 30’ aluminum dock is included. Vermilac Lake spans approximately 622 acres and is known for excellent fishing including walleye, northern pike, perch, crappie, bluegill, bass, and more. Public boat launch is less than ½ mile away. Located on a private dead-end road, this property offers privacy, recreation, and easy lake access all in one. The Ponderosa Pine furniture, handcrafted in Montana, complements the cabin beautifully and is negotiable. Buyer and/or Buyer’s agent are responsible for verifying all information, including but not limited to square footage, acreage, property boundaries, lake frontage, taxes, zoning, and all other material facts related to the property. All offers must allow a minimum of 72 hours for seller response time. Seller reserves the right to accept, reject, or counter any offer at their discretion.
