This is the epitome of a northwoods cabin on the lake, that lake being peaceful East Bearskin. The east end of the lake and the south shore are part of the BWCA. The 2+ bedroom cabin sits on a Forest Service leased lot covering approximately 1.13 private wooded acres with 180 feet of accessible shoreline. The immaculate cabin is equipped with modern kitchen with pine cabinets that include handmade stone pulls. Every room is light and airy due to large windows and skylights in every room. The combined living and dining is welcoming and bright and has a free-standing fireplace. The spacious family room is super inviting with wood floors, vaulted ceiling, woodstove all wrapped with windows. The bunkhouse is comprised of a cozy sleeping room for guests, a sauna with shower, and a workshop. The beautifully maintained property has trails gently sloping to the shore and dock plus a nice level area to gather around a campfire. This is the perfect base for all your outdoor adventures!
