This Quiet Iron Town Is Now a Top STR Opportunity
It’s July 3rd—the calm before the Fourth of July celebration storm.
Our boots are on the ground in the Northwoods, scouting for undervalued STR markets with high ROI potential.
By tomorrow, this quiet iron town will be buzzing. Serpent Lake’s shoreline will overflow with music, fireworks, and barbecue smoke. Bikes will arrive by the truckload, as riders chase flow on world-class red ore trails. Families will gather for a kind of Americana that’s almost gone—sunsets, sparklers, and small-town pride.
This place is more than scenic—it’s strategic. In this scouting report, we break down why this emerging destination—with national mountain biking recognition—is drawing STR demand and real estate investor interest.
