This special cabin, with a cottage feel,  includes a full kitchen, dining and living areas, a bathroom on the first floor, a free-standing cast iron propane stove, and a lofted bedroom above.  Windows across the entirety of the lakeside frame spectacular vista views of the beach, Lake Superior, the Huron Mountains and Huron Islands across the bay.  Covered porches on both the front and back provide ample opportunity for watching stunning sunrises while enjoying a cup of coffee, watching ships or seeing people enjoy the beach all day.   The cabin's charm lies in the wood details.  The flooring and custom kitchen countertops are southern yellow pine sourced from the southeastern states and milled at the Connor Flooring Mill in Amasa, MI.  The pine bathroom flooring is local and was milled north of Crystal Falls, MI.  The interior paneling was milled in Mohawk from locally sawn white pine lumber.  Cabin has been meticulously maintained since the original 1997 custom-build.
