Originally a fishing cabin for WWII veterans returning home, this property holds a unique historical significance. In the late 1970s, it was expanded into a 504 sq ft peaceful cabin, perfect for couples, small families, or those seeking solitude. Nestled on the shores of Upper Long Lake, an 86-acre clear no-wake lake renowned for its fishing, this cabin offers a tranquil setting. The Indiana DNR has reported Largemouth Bass up to 20.7 inches in Upper Long Lake, making it a haven for fishing enthusiasts. Bluegill is another popular catch. Unwind as you observe ducks and herons grace the water and marvel at the breathtaking sunset. The cabin, complete with one bedroom, full kitchen, bathroom, and living space, is a sanctuary of tranquility.
The 240 sq ft wraparound deck, adorned with five umbrellas for shade, invites you to unwind amidst nature's embrace. The 200 sq ft cement fire pit, perfect for grilling and gathering around the fire, is a place to create lasting memories. The cabin's interior, crafted from beautiful hardwood, is illuminated by unique ball jar lighting in the kitchen and lighted ceiling fans in the bedroom and living room. The bedroom includes one double bed, dressing chair, and drawers containing fresh lines for the bed and futon. The kitchen has a full-size refrigerator, oven, microwave, Keurig, silverware, dishes, cups, glasses, mugs, pots, pans, baking sheets, an ice tray, dish towels, and dish soap. The small bathroom has a toilet, sink with vanity, towels, a shower with a new shower head and wand, shampoo, and body wash. The living area includes a fall-asleep couch, a futon with a blanket underneath, a stereo with a CD player, and various CDs, puzzles, games, and coloring books. Bask in the great outdoors with five large umbrellas shading the deck lounge chair and table, a two-person swing, six bar stools for the deck area, plastic chairs for the firepit area, and a grill grate. NW cedar planked 30 ft private pier.
There is no TV or wi-fi, as I wanted the cabin to be an escape from technology. So, if you have to have wi-fi, bring a hotspot or use the wireless from your carrier, though the bars will be few. Shady Haven Resort is a lake trailer park with the cabins on and above the lake. Many trailers in the back of the resort are empty and slowly being removed. The cabin is not right on the lake but sits above on a hill at the corner of Hummingbird Blvd and Big Bass Run and has a beautiful view. I just installed a cedar private pier at the end of Big Bass Run. Boat access is on one road over W 25 N at the end of N Hazelwood Dr.

Please respect the cabin. I bought it for my 88-year-old mother to enjoy, but sadly, her 8-year battle with Alzheimer's is starting to take its toll, and we can no longer enjoy it as much as we would like. The sunsets are beautiful, and it is a small, quiet, friendly community. Please relax, enjoy your time, and create fantastic memories.
