Arrive with a suitcase. Step into summer. The Issaqueen is a warm, beautifully appointed historic cottage at Columbus Beach Club, built in the late 1800s and kept by just seven families across 140 years. CBC is a private community of approximately 45 cottages founded in 1886 at the junction of the Indian River and Burt Lake, where cottages rarely come to market. All the lake, none of the shoreline upkeep: steps to a private sandy beach and direct access to the 38-mile Inland Waterway-all the rewards of waterfront living without the taxes or maintenance of direct ownership. Six bedrooms, 2.5 baths, screened wraparound porch seating twenty. A turnkey four-season home, ready for the season ahead. The eighth chapter is yours to write.
THE GATHERING ROOM. Upstairs, one expansive bedroom offers three queen beds and two generous closets-a welcoming retreat where guests gather for the weekend, friends linger over late-night conversation, and everyone settles in with ease. The Issaqueen sleeps fifteen in dedicated beds across six bedrooms, with comfortable overflow space throughout the cottage for additional guests, a true gathering home built for full-house weekends.
UPSTAIRS. In addition to the three-queen room, the second floor includes a king bedroom and a bedroom with a double bed, a full bath, a generous walk-in closet, and ample attic storage.
MAIN FLOOR. Three bedrooms on the first floor include the primary king and two additional queens, along with one full and one-half bath. A welcoming mudroom (perfect for coming in from the lake) leads to a dedicated laundry room with a newer extra-large-capacity washer and dryer. The updated kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and storage, with a table seating six and an island seating four-gathering ten comfortably for breakfast and morning coffee. A spacious family room and a formal living room with gas fireplace anchor the main living areas, and a separate formal dining room seats six to eight.
THE PORCH. Expansive, screened, and wrapped around the cottage with roll-down vinyl enclosures, the porch comfortably seats twenty and extends the season from early spring through late fall. Morning coffee with the lake still as glass. Long afternoons with cards on the table.
SYSTEMS/FEATURES. Four-season home with a metal roof (2019), newly connected municipal sewer (October 2025), private well, boiler heat, whole-house Generac standby generator, whole-house attic fan, window and portable A/C in like-new condition, ceiling fans in every bedroom, and large one-car garage.
CLUB AMENITIES (subject to CBC membership). Walking access to the private sandy beach, the historic Dining Hall, the Beach House, and the boathouse and slips on the Indian River-with direct access from CBC's docks to Michigan's full 38-mile Inland Waterway. A full summer on the water-boating, sailing, water skiing, and friendly Club regattas. Beloved Club traditions including the 4th of July bicycle and golf cart parade and the Annual Meeting week.
