About This Home
Come see this well-loved, kit log cabin perched atop 83 acres, bordered by Minnesota State land. Being this deep in the woods, it is a treat to catch a glimpse of Lake Superior on a clear day from the south facing bedroom window. Spend your fall afternoons strolling through the woods for grouse, and your evenings in the cabin reading by the fire or falling asleep much too early. You can get away from the busy life and enjoy the company of nature in this cozy off-grid cabin. The interior is accented by beautiful diamond willow railings and custom ironwork. Propane lights, refrigerator and cooking range reduce utility expenses, while allowing you to prepare gourmet meals to be enjoyed by you and your guests. It's no ordinary cabin, so make sure to see it if you're looking for a unique north-woods getaway.
