Property Description Tucked at the end of the road on Widow Lake, this seasonal retreat is surrounded by over 300 feet of shoreline that wraps gently around the property, creating water views from multiple angles throughout the cabin. From the lakeside windows, the view stretches across the water toward a pine-covered island that becomes even more striking at sunset as the evening light settles behind the trees. The level yard leads easily to the shoreline, where the hard-bottom lakefront makes swimming especially enjoyable, while loons, songbirds, and other wildlife add to the peaceful atmosphere.
Inside, the open living area feels bright and welcoming with vaulted knotty pine ceilings, exposed beams, and large lakeside doors that lead directly to the deck. A stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the room, while the exterior stone chimney carries the same character outdoors. The spacious kitchen offers abundant cupboard space along with a peninsula featuring seating, storage, and built-in electrical access.
The oversized porch may quickly become a favorite gathering place, lined with knotty pine and vaulted ceilings while offering wide views of the lake and surrounding shoreline.
A large storage shed, tool shed, and separate finished retreat space provide added flexibility for guests, hobbies, or simply extra room to enjoy lake life. Altogether, this property captures the feeling of a classic Minnesota cabin getaway, shaped by water, woods, sunsets, and time spent outdoors.
