The cabin is rustic but very attractive for someone wanting a summer or winter time cabin, for weekend getaways. The cabin consists of one large open room 18' x 16' with a 6' x 18' screened porch, which houses the propane fridge, and additional space of storage.

The cabin has a wood cook stove and 5 bunk beds built in, kitchen table and 5 wooden chairs. Double stainless steel sink with counters and cupboards with dishes and pots and pans.

The cabin was built in 1973 and has a duroid roof. The waterfront lot is .31 of an acre, and is very private and nicely treed. The property is located in a private bay with one other cabin, and seperated by approx. 300' feet apart.
