    What's special

    Wood stoveMoss-covered path
    Just past Caribou Lake and tucked away in a 20 acre dreamy cedar forest (complete with its own 300' of Murmur Creek!) sits this special little off-grid cabin. Notice that it's bordered to the north by public lands, making it feel like you've got all of the privacy in the world! While it is wired for electricity, solar could be a viable option. Propane and/or a generator would be a good source if one needs to power up their own source of energy but it does come with some convenient amenities that make for a memorable stay in the woods. The wood stove that's in place sure does warm it up and keep it comfortable and cozy to say the least. Enjoy the bunkhouse for when those extra guests beg to join you in this enticing experience, full of endless wonder. The moss-covered path leads to 300' of waterfront on Murmur Creek. There is always the option to meander over to the other part of the property that includes the oldest cedar tree recorded in the State of MN! You can't miss it. If you feel like fishing, there are multiple lakes nearby that will help in your quest for a fresh walleye dinner, a rejuvenating paddle and a refreshing swim. Caribou Lake, Pike Lake and Ward Lake are right there for you to access. When the snow falls, imagine snowmobiling, skiing or snowshoeing in to the cabin. What a retreat! Winter time is the most magical time of year after all, with the falling snow and the silence of the woods. Furniture, decor, grill, rugs and kitchenware are all included and it's being sold "As-Is".
