Escape the ordinary vacation. Relax or be adventurous. Fish your heart out! This historic (1800's), 3 bedroom, cedar log cabin is nestled within a 2 acre rustic private island on the Michigamme River, just 300 feet from the shoreline. Flexibility is key. You will need to row or take the simple pontoon with a basic electric motor over to your own private island.(Or let us know you need assistance, and we will make sure someone is there when you arrive.) REPUBLIC ISLAND SLEEPS: 4 comfortably BEDROOMS: 1 small + 2 tiny (where only a full sized bed can fit comfortably) BATHROOMS: 1 (shower only, no tub, with heated floors) *ON RIVER (300 feet across the Michigamme River) *ONLY ACCESSIBLE VIA WATER (hence the word island!) *EXCELLENT FOR FISHERMEN *JON-BOAT, basic PONTOON (as possible) with a small, electric motor+ CANOE INCLUDED *PRIVATE DOCK (May-September) *SCREENED IN PORCH *SWIMMING technically possible, yet not easy *DOGS are WELCOMED Electricity, running water, a land-line phone, satellite (Direct TV) + DVD and Wi-Fi are some of the creature comforts on this rustic island. Adirondack chairs circle the fire pit. Enjoy the wildflowers and wilderness. Rustic Décor throughout. The comfortable couches with with recliners allow you to kick-back in the evening where you can steam or watch old school cable TV. Galley kitchen, breakfast bar, bathroom with shower, plus a gorgeous natural wood-burning cobblestone fireplace warms the living room. Linens and towels provided. An open mind and flexibility are keys to enjoying your stay. The island is Water-access only. Be your own captain! One of our boats will be waiting for you, as you venture off to the Island. A Jon boat (best in low water), pontoon**NOT guaranteed (best in high water) with electric motor, canoe, aluminum boat are all provided for your sole use during your stay. We try to keep all the boats running at all times, yet Spring and Fall are time it is most challenging. If you need a specific boat (i.e. pontoon) to have the fun you dream about, then the Island may not be your best choice. Flexibility is not only a nice virtue, but a necessity here. Off-street and alongside road parking. Republic Island is the home of excellent fishing, bird watching, and canoeing. Requirements for Island: You must be able-bodied enough to drive/row the boat/canoe, if needed. Plus, you should have decent agility to walk up and down the uneven walkways. A positive, flexible attitude is essential for a good experience. As a Special Education teacher by trade, I wish we could find a way to accommodate all abilities in the Republic Island experience. While you do not need to be an athlete, at least an average level of agility is definitely required in order to have a positive experience for you and your family.
