Beautiful year-around log home (cabin) in Lake County, Stony 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, paddles, kayak, Lund fishing boat, Yamaha 15 hp outboard motor with electric-start and life jackets (4 adult-size, 3 child-size) are provided. All marine items are for use on McDougal Lakes only. You can also bring your own boat. There is a concrete-base boat landing 3 miles from the cabin for launching your boat, and your boat can be docked at the rental property.
Watch the Chickadees, Nuthatches, Canadian Jays, and Humming Birds at the feeders. Sometimes they eat right out of your hand. At night watch the stars pop out. Have you ever seen the Milky Way in all its splendor? 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), or trails in the Superior National Forest. Other area activities include Cross-Country Skiing, Snow-Shoeing, Dog-Sledding, and much more.
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.
