We just bought this little place in Mi. The trails are great in the area and even though were not out away from the town, the location is still quiet and close to lake and all trails. [img=null]null[/img]

We're in St Helen Mi. We live in Ontario so it's only about a 4hr drive to get there with traffic and border playing nice.

It's an exciting time, isn't it. Enjoy.
Did building rules/regulations come into play on your choice of property?

Yes....I want to build a garage / storage area and was concerned about regulations & issues but I think I'm fine. I love the feeling being there and in the big picture, that's what we're all after I would assume.
That feeling you get when pull in to the cabin and leave day to day life behind!
There are some amazing cabins on this forum. It really is a great source of info and ideas for all of us breaking into the cabin lifestyle. (we are previous rv'rs - toyhaulers)

Thanks!
I could spend hours on here looking at the fantastic cabins people have built. It truly is a different state of mind when at the cabin.
I'm pulling the back porch off and redoing it fully across the back. Using cedar posts and extending it out to give a larger footprint to sit and enjoy. Love having a place to work on again!

The trails are great in the area to

What kind of trails? Hiking, snowmobile, ATV stuff?
Weâ€™ve got all kinds of trails in our area of New Hampshire too but just havenâ€™t gotten enough opportunities to enjoy them yet...a little snow shoeing and short hikes but Iâ€™m really looking forward to doing more and more outdoors now that re-construction re-modeling is getting closer to an end (or manageable)

St Helen area is well know for the ATV/ORV trails and Sled trails in the winter. We rode all last summer but I have to say, we have hardly seen any of the vast amount of trails.
Will hopefully get lots of riding and exploring in this year!
Kayaks are on the soon to get list lol......
New Hampshire looks great! I've seen some shows on the area.

Our cabin is on a pond thatâ€™s fed and feeds other streams and lakes so weâ€™re able to enjoy our kayaks on regular basis. I like getting going out for an hour so early morning before breakfast or after a good days work. Iâ€™ve researched atv/utvâ€™s a little. I was thinkingi side by side but now leaning a soiled ride on to do some work, plow snow on the property and then cruise the trails. Havenâ€™t been able to decide yet but hope to pull the trigger by next winter.
