Enjoy great sunsets from this 2 Bedroom, 1 bath Burntside Lake cabin on a spectacular west facing parcel. This property will amaze you with its end of the road location, level easy access to the lake, sand beach, gorgeous rocky point, and a backdrop of a very dramatic rock cliff! What a great scene! Built in the late 1950s, the cabin is very comfortable and has a nostalgic, classic Burntside feel to it. The main room has an open concept kitchen, living and dining room all with log beams and vaulted ceilings, and great lake views! There is 1 bedroom facing the lake, and also a second bedroom, with the 3/4 bathroom in between. Great times and fellowship will be had in the large screen porch that also faces the lake! Closer to the lake is a large barrel shaped sauna that can easily house 6 people. Also, decks for lounging, a large dock, the great swimming beach, and the beautiful rocky point with a hiking trail along the shore. This is Burntside Lake at its finest: tall pine trees, crystal clear water, great vistas, and a place to make great lifetime memories! There is also a large 24 x 11 storage building that has a nice workshop and a bonus room. Septic system, lake water system. The property has been in the same family since the cabin was built. The setting is spectacular!
