Surrounded by dramatic Canadian Shield glacial rock outcroppings and native forest, this exceptional setting captures the timeless beauty of the Northwoods. The classic 1918 seasonal two bedroom log cabin exudes historic character and authentic charm. An open living and dining area invites relaxed lake living, while the cabin's close proximity to the shoreline creates the remarkable feeling of being on the water. Windows on every side provide cross breeze and soothing sounds of wind and water. A private dock extends into the clear waters of Burntside, perfect for boating, swimming and lakeside relaxation. The property retains its traditional simplicity with propane gas wall heaters, piped-gas overhead mantel lights, a range/oven, and a wood burning fireplace stove. The grey water system, lake water system, and compliant privy preserve the rustic simple island experience. This 1.95+/- acres and 944 +/- ft piece of prime lakeshore is conveniently located a short boat ride from the Van Vac public landing. This extraordinary island retreat offers both seclusion and accessibility, an increasingly rare opportunity on Burntside Lake.
