About This Home
A Storybook Log Cabin with History on Spirit Lake (Doherty Lake). Welcome to a one-of-a-kind lakeside retreat with history and character. The heart of this cabin is its hearth: the hand-built stone fireplace, crafted in the 1940s by none other than the grandfather of MacGyver himself. When the "new cabin" was built in the 1970s, it was thoughtfully constructed around this iconic fireplace—allowing it to sit just steps from the water’s edge. The level lot offers an easy, short walk to a sandy swimming beach. Just a few feet from the cabin, you'll find the traditional lakeside sauna house. A spacious deck welcomes you as you drive up, while another large lakeside deck offers sunsets. In summer, neighbors have gathered on pontoons in the center of the lake, adding a communal vibe. Enjoy the peaceful simplicity of fishing from your dock, swimming or diving at your private beach. Evenings are best spent by the outdoor fire ring, where generations have shared stories under the stars. As the seasons shift, the scent of burning wood and the comforting crackle of the fireplace bring a cozy ambiance that's perfect for watching football or curling up with a book. The interior features a spacious upper sleeping loft and a front sunroom, now furnished with a bed surrounded by lake-facing windows. A permitted privy is included, and all furnishings can remain (excluding personal photos, wall art, and fish mounts), making this an easy, turnkey escape. Completely ready for your next chapter—come settle in and start your own story on Spirit Lake.
