Loon's Nest Cottage Retreat
Kick Back and Relax!
Universal access cottage provides a panoramic view of Lake Superior, maple cupboards, built-in appliances, gas fireplace, soothing air tub and outdoor hot tub. Call nature’s songbirds or sip morning coffee in the covered porch. Private driveway, on a large lot (126‘ wide by 500' deep, 1.5 acres). Lot slopes to lake with ledge rock shoreline, great for sitting or reading.
Resort area has on-site hiking and X-country ski trails available and canoe and mountain bike rentals can be arranged at the Lodge. Owners have tried to keep the lot fairly natural with existing trees and native grasses. Note: sloping lot does not allow wheelchair access to shoreline.
