Get-away cabin on the edge of a tranquil lake.
Your cabin is accessible by boat which can be stored at Burris landing. Head to the North arm of Elbow Lake passing BWCA like islands to find your private wooded point - no electricity, no plumbing, no internet: the simple life.
This is a comfortable cabin with two bedrooms, loft, screen-porch, large kitchen-dining-living room, at the water’s edge, on a quiet lake with ledge rock, pine woods crib-dock and low maintenance. Sauna, shed and outhouse complete this northern retreat. Have a snowmobile or skis? The cabin is fully insulated for winter visits.
A private peninsula featuring 2.15 acres of northern forest with 1205 feet of shoreline. The former loggers-cabin rests at the water’s edge, a picturesque bunk house sits further down the shoreline, right on the lake. The cabin is lit by propane lamps and a hearty wood-burning stove warms it up to comfortable temperatures during the cooler days of the year. A path through beautiful woods connects the cabin to the bunk house. Far from sound and light pollution, this is a great spot for star-gazing and the aurora borealis. The lake is ideal for fishing, canoeing, swimming, and finding your inherent nature among sights and sounds of birds and animals.
Electric connection easily available (which can bring convenience and increased value.)
This was the first cabin built on Elbow Lake by loggers in 1920’s hence its proximity to the water’s edge (and also that of its bunk house.) This is rare with today’s set-back rules. The cabin is mentioned in Oemler’s historical account “Time in the Timber.”
