Classic Red Cabin on Loon Lake up the historic and enchanting Gunflint Trail! Hard to top the beauty and crystal waters of Loon Lake. Majority of public land surrounds Loon and the pure, cool waters run deep, all the way down to 200 feet! Swimming here is a childhood dream come true. Boating is peaceful, fishing is plentiful. All around are beautiful Boreal Woods. The Gunflint Trail is the jump off point for so many adventures: BWCA, snowmobiling, XC skiing, snowshoeing. Make a challenge out of hitting every lake along the trail – will take some doing! The cabin is just the right size for a getaway that fits the budget, easy to maintain and happily fits the crew. Log stairs to the loft and additional log accents bring charm and character to the welcoming interior. Kitchen is well equipped and sized to handle all the Northwoods’ favs: walleye, blueberry muffins, rhubarb crisp, grouse stew, chantarelle souffle, lake trout fresh out of Loon! Sprawling deck overlooks the lake and yes, frequent loon calls come up from Loon Lake mixing on the deck with the leaves susurrating, pine scent, and happy conversations about your luck to find this place and the day’s next adventure. Spacious full bathroom stands at the ready to clean up after mucking about in the woods looking for critters to photograph or wandering that epic stand of nearby old-growth pines. Current owners have made all the right moves: new septic system, new plumbing. The cabin now has fully updated plumbing and piping throughout, along with a new advanced heating system equipped with freeze resistant technology. The heating system is internet connected and remotely controlled! Dock and furnishings can be included so all that is left to do is unpack, unwind and enjoy. There is such a happy comfort inside the cabin. Wood paneling and light from the ample windows interplay just so creating the ideal Northwoods retreat. The loft is a non-conforming bedroom awaiting your vision. Will be hard to leave, but there are numerous and unique eateries and bars along the Trail worthy of your patronage. Afterward, the drive home is close-by. You’re now a Gunflinter, a unique breed and group who appreciate the North, being good neighbors and spinning a yarn or two. It’s way up in the hinterlands of Minnesota where the pace and living are more relaxed. The calm is palpable, like the winter smoke drifting from the wood stove out over the lake. Take a deep breath and get back to basics at The Cabin.
