Lakefront 1928 Log Cabin w/ Sauna, Docking, Fishing, Patio, Big Yard & Balcony

This is a genuine 1928 Sears log cabin built from a cabin kit - yes, a build your own cabin kit. The outside is incredibly preserved and the inside offers a perfect blend of preservation with a touch of modern efficiency. However, between the lake views, sauna, fishing, and meals on the patio, you'll hardly be inside.

Sauna - The sauna is a traditional dry sauna with rocks and an electric heater. It is a barrel design which is recommended for 2-4 people and can reach temperatures of around 150.

We also offer free private docking for up to 4 small/medium size boats and jet-skis just 100 yards from the mouth of the channel. Mooring whips are provided, but if north/northeast winds are ever predicted to approach 20MPH, boat owners will want to temporarily pull out or rent a guest slip at Sawmill.

Finally, we offer 24/7 complimentary gym access at our local gym just down the road (~2 miles).

This a genuine family run business (mom, dad and son) and a real family summer home.


Location:

The Cabin sits on a private peninusla once known as Torquatus Island. Don't Google it - it can't be found. Anyways, Torquatus Island ceased to exist sometime in the 80s when the late Bud McCarty constructed the island's first breakwall thereby turning the island into a peninsula. Then, in the 90s, my dad bought the log cabin next door to Bud's place. Fast forward to today, having pooled our funds to buy & relocate to Bud's former home, our family would now like to offer our historic log cabin for rent. We'll be your only neighbors on the "island", but we're pretty tame these days and promise not to bother you :)

- 160 ft of dock wall and three sets of mooring whips

Other things to note:

NB: Boats up to 25ft can be parked on the property. Above 25ft, road dimensions would probably prohibit reaching the property.

NB: On rare occasions, owner reserves the right to utilize the far end of the dock as a guest space.

Host of the property was great and communication from him was great as well. Give you that cabin living feel with the water life infused in. Very peaceful and serene. Im a fisherman so being right at the boat dock and plenty of area to fish right there was a big plus for us and the action was there! Winding down in the evenings were very quiet and peaceful with the breeze from the lake was spot on for the relaxation factor. The cabin was clean and you can tell the maintenance and upkeep of the cabin has been done. I would recommend for any and everyone looking for some peace and quiet and some outdoor water life fun!
