Tucked into the quiet corner of a smaller bay near Rugby Point, this four-season Lake Metigoshe retreat offers the kind of setting lake lovers dream about: peaceful, private-feeling, and ready for year-round enjoyment. Built in 2006, this rambler with a walk-out basement combines easy main-level living with generous space for family, guests, and weekends that stretch long into every season.

Whether you are gathering after a day on the water, hosting friends for dinner, or settling in with a quiet morning coffee, the layout keeps everyone connected. The home features five bedrooms, with three on the main level and two on the lower level, plus an additional room ideal for an office, hobby space, or overflow area. A bathroom on each level adds comfort and convenience for guests and everyday use.Step from the main level onto a maintenance-free deck that wraps around one side of the cabin, offering an inviting place to relax in the shade, watch the water, or enjoy outdoor meals. Stairs lead down toward the lakefront, while the lower level provides a second gathering space with a comfortable family room and walk-out access to the patio and shoreline. It is a layout designed for lake days, family weekends, and easy indoor-outdoor living. Set on a 75-by-185-foot lot, the property is accented by mature trees spaced throughout the grounds, providing welcome shade at different times of the day while preserving the natural beauty of the lake setting. The home is heated with electric boiler in-floor heat and electric baseboards, and a mini-split adds air conditioning for warm summer days. Lake Metigoshe is known for its abundance of recreation, and this location puts it all within reach. Bring the boat, spend the afternoon fishing, relax on the water, or explore nearby hiking and biking trails. The state park is close by, and when winter arrives, the area offers just as much to enjoy, with a ski lodge down the road, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing nearby. From summer boating to winter weekends by the lake, this Rugby Point cabin is a true four-season getaway designed for comfort, connection, and the relaxed rhythm of lake life.
