Northwoods Lake Home

Beautiful 1600 sq. ft. year-around log home has the feel of a cabin yet all the amenities of modern living. Whether you enjoy the serenity of a walk through the beautiful boreal forest, the warmth of sitting in the cabin by the wood-burning fireplace, or the contentment of having breakfast at the lakeside picnic table and fire pit you are sure to enjoy your stay. The lake home is located in Lake County, Stoney River Township on North McDougal Lake, part of a chain of three lakes covering 849 acres. The property has 210 feet of shoreline at the southeast corner of the lake. The McDougal Lakes area is very quiet so jet skis, ATV's or large motor boats are out of character. However, canoes, kayaks, and fishing boats fit right in. A canoe is provided so you can explore the lake and Stoney River. Or, bring your own boat. There is a concrete-base boat landing 3 miles from the cabin and you can keep it at the dock on the property.

Watch the Chickadees, Nuthatches, Canadian Jays, and Humming Birds at the feeders. Sometimes the Chickadees, Nuthatches, and Jays will eat right out of your hand. Spacious decks and screened and covered porches allow you to enjoy all parts of the day. Sit in the warm sun with your cup of coffee in the morning; enjoy inviting water views throughout the day; and experience dazzling sunsets and listen to the loons in the evening. At night watch the stars pop out.

Serene, remote get-away located in the heart of the Superior National Forest equal distance from Ely, Minnesota and Lake Superior's North Shore; quietly located three miles off scenic State Highway #1.

You can spend all your time at the cabin and surrounding area; or use the cabin as a base camp and venture out on one-day excursions to the North Shore, nearby Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Lakes, Hiking Trails, Golfing, Downhill and Cross-Country Skiing, Snowmobiling, and much more. Within a 20-mile radius there are hiking trails, several BWCA entry points, numerous fishing lakes and non-BWCA back-country camping sites.

If you plan on spending your entire time at the cabin, it's a good idea to bring some supplies with you. The cabin is in a rather remote location. The nearest towns for groceries, restaurants, gas, etc. are Finland 27 miles, Silver Bay 32 miles, Babbitt 25 miles, Ely 32 miles and Two Harbors 48 miles. All towns offer restaurants and groceries, and some have unique shops and galleries. Ely and Two Harbors offer clinics, pharmacies and emergency rooms. The owners live in a cabin near by and will do their best to provide any items you may have forgotten.
