Check out this rustic cabin on the shore of Plunkett Pond. Beautiful relatively flat frontage, very user friendly. With only a couple cabins beyond on West Shore Road, there is very minimal traffic going past the camp. A serene setting with eagles frequenting the lake. Fishing, ATVing, snowmobiling, water sports all from the front door. The 2 car insulated, heated garage with finished space above is an added bonus. An affordable waterfront retreat to make your own!
