St. Helen House | NEW Dog Friendly Lakefront With Acreage

3 Bedroom House in St. Helen

Welcome to Shifting Gears! St. Helen is the perfect all-season destination with boating, fishing, golf courses, and an extensive network of offroad trails.
Escape the daily hustle at our East Twin Lake home on 5+ acres, situated 2.5 miles down a maintained, dead-end dirt road. East Twin Lake is shallow and roughly ~100 acres with great fishing (bass, pike, perch, panfish) and abundant wildlife. Best described as a wilderness lake, loons, hawks, eagles, turtles, and beavers are frequently sighted. Swimming at our dock space is not currently desirable; however, the opposite side of the island is great for swimming.

Summary: We had an amazing experience. We stayed for a long weekend with our family (including two dogs). The accommodations were wonderful. The house itself is great, with a large living and dining area. It is very close to Houghton and Higgins lakes, great for boating. The birds were incredible! Hummingbirds galore, bald eagle, lots of woodpeckers and many other species. We plan to stay there in the future and highly recommend it.
