Luxurious, yet rustic cabin. Must see to believe. This cabin offers a remote, private, serene setting, nestled in the trees with lake views. A short distance down to the lake for leisurely walks and lakeside picnics in a secluded area called the "Southwest Shore Colony". The wraparound decking provides a superb place to relax and take in the beautiful views of the lake and National Forest surrounding it. Featuring 2 large bedrooms, a Jack-n-Jill bathroom between them and an extra bedroom/bonus room with 1/2 bath on lower level with its own separate access. This 1920's cabin has had an extensive interior renovation to include a vaulted ceiling in the living room, hickory hardwood floors, wainscoting, plaster walls, stone tile floors, beautifully tiled shower, new kitchen countertops and cabinets, new stove, washer/dryer, all new plumbing, forced air heating throughout, plus a brand-new roof in November, 2024. This cabin is part of the Recreation Residence Program of the US Forest Service, but unlike others, you can use this one year-round for summer and winter sporting activities as the trails and ski slopes are just a few miles away. If you have dreamed of a cabin in the woods, but don't want to "rough it", this could be a great choice for you. Call for more information about owning a Recreation Residence cabin. Please note: no bank financing is available and AirBnB's are not allowed.
