Very well maintained, affordable vertical log cabin on Bergen Lake. 30 minutes from Duluth, this is a quiet 62 acre lake with no public access and excellent fishing.

Wood burning stove and oil heater in the living room make this a solid 3 season retreat. Sleeping porch across the lake side of the cabin with windows and screens to enjoy the view...Very well maintained, affordable vertical log cabin on Bergen Lake. 30 minutes from Duluth, this is a quiet 62 acre lake with no public access and excellent fishing.
