On the big timber cedar deck overlooking the Sturgeon River is a nice outdoor table and chairs with umbrella for relaxing and a staircase that goes down to the lawn going to the river and the bonfire patio/pit. In the front of the home is a smaller lawn and driveway as well as another vacant lot for extra parking space for your extra vehicles, boats, trailers, etc. Also in the front is paver patio with a cedar log pergola, picnic table, and gas grill just off of the indoor dining area.
Extra Features: The finished lower level has a custom-built cedar sauna, a 46" screen TV set up to play Wii, and a foosball table! All three levels have full bathrooms, at least one bedroom and custom-made furnishings.

Summary: The cabin was the perfect size for our family. We picked this area because of all the things to do close by. Room to play outside for the grandkids to run some energy off. The property is quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay!
