Nestled on a secluded peninsula at the deepest point of Bog Lake, the Frenning Point Stone Cottage is a one-of-a-kind property surrounded by crystal-clear waters and sweeping panoramic views.

• Kitchen with adjoining pantry
• Mudroom, formal dining room, and cozy living room
• Charming library, inviting sun porch, and sun deck
• Full unfinished attic and basement with potential for expansion
The interior is partially restored, providing the next architectural enthusiast an opportunity to bring their vision to life. An irreplaceable retreat. A legacy to be continued. Take the full interior walk-through in the Matterport tour.
