Clearwater Lake, need we say more? This adorable A-frame cabin is located mid-Gunflint Trail on the north shore of one of the most coveted BWCA lakes in the area. With access off of Short's Road, there is year round access, electricity and broadband. The main cabin features a southern wall of glass that overlooks the lake, open floor plan with a woodstove, 3/4 bath, sleeping loft and a nice, large deck to enjoy the outdoors. There is a bunk house, perfect for your guest as well as a boathouse to store all of your lake toys. The lot is very private with over 150 ft of shoreline and 1 acre with a beautiful mix of pine trees. The dock is perfect for enjoying views of the Palisades or for jumping off and swimming in the lake. Don't forget your canoe - you will need it so you can explore the many BWCA lakes connected to Clearwater Lake. AND you will need hiking shoes so you can spend your days exploring the Border Route Trail - there is a trail head minutes away. HURRY - this one won't last long!
