A Rare Piece of Arrowhead Lake History – 28+ Acres & 1,320 Feet of Shoreline Tucked on the shores of Arrowhead Lake in Britt sits a truly special property with deep roots. This vertical log cabin was built by a Finnish craftsman generations ago. When asked why he stood the logs upright, he simply replied, “Have you ever seen a tree in the forest growing horizontally?” Originally a one-room cabin, this humble homestead once raised six children. Today, it remains in the same family after four generations, now offering a rare opportunity for new owners to carry on its story. The main cabin is 494 square feet, accompanied by a 162-square-foot bunkhouse and several outbuildings. With over 28 acres and 1,320 feet of shoreline, there’s plenty of room to explore the multiple trails that wind through the property. A boathouse (needs work) & two docks sit along the water’s edge. Arrowhead Lake is a peaceful, spring-fed lake known for its clear water and excellent fishing. Located in Britt, you are just a short drive from Virginia, Eveleth, Tower and Cook. This isn't just a cabin, it's a legacy property with a story worth continuing.
