Welcome to Shifting Gears! St. Helen is the perfect all-season destination with boating, fishing, golf courses, and an extensive network of offroad trails.
Escape the daily hustle at our East Twin Lake home on 5+ acres, situated 2.5 miles down a maintained, dead-end dirt road.

Best described as a wilderness lake, loons, hawks, eagles, turtles, and beavers are frequently sighted. Swimming at our dock space is not currently desirable; however, the opposite side of the island is great for swimming.

Summary: Great home for a short family getaway!! Very dog-friendly & peaceful. The house was clean & had everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. We loved eating out in the back deck overlooking the lake. We were well-stocked with firewood for the beachfront fire pit. There were so many woodpeckers and hummingbirds, especially when we were drinking our morning coffee on the front porch. We never even saw another person. Great location to just getaway from it all for a family get together.
