Overview

Description

Franklin Lake – This 3-bedroom, 1-bath cabin on Franklin Lake is rich in history. Originally built by the WPA during WWII as an interpretive center at Maplewood State Park, it was later moved to its current location to become part of a resort. Framed with hand-hewn 4x4 oak, this sturdy cabin has truly stood the test of time. Once the resort’s café, the original kitchen and counter were thoughtfully preserved during the 2007 remodel. Now part of a CIC, you can relax and unwind with lawn care included, and enjoy your own stairs leading to the lake with a dock—perfect for watching the stunning sunsets over the water. This cabin is being sold fully furnished—just bring your swimsuit. The neighboring cabin at 47166 Franklin Court is also for sale. Purchase both for added space for family, friends, or guests.
