Newly Remodeled Lakefront Cabin w/ Modern Amenities.

In the winter, AWD or 4X4 vehicles are required to access the property.brbrThe Cabin, a near-historic property between the pristine shores of clear Arbutus Lake as well as the small private naturalized Perch Lake, was preserved in January 2016 with careful modern interior updates that maintain the feel of a family lakefront, with natural materials and tones throughout, while giving the comforts of conditioned-air and modern electronics and sound.brbrIt has three bedrooms (1 King, 2 Queens) and three bathrooms. The Master Bedroom features a King bed with adjoining bathroom and a private view of the sunrise over Perch Lake. The Lakeside bedroom features Arbutus Lake views for both its Queen and Twin beds.
