“In the Pines” lives up to its name as it sits nestled within numerous tall pines on the southeast shore of Big Trout Lake (walking distance from Manhattan Beach Lodge). If you’ve been to the Whitefish Chain of lakes, then you know Big Trout is special. The sunsets are unbeatable, and the water is a shade of blue that truly sets it apart (ask the locals they’ll say the same thing).
A completely restored (down to the studs with all new mechanical systems) 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom cedar-clad cabin is the perfect getaway for your family (or multi-family) adventure up-north. Enter through the original front door, walk on the original wood floors and feel eighty years of history freshly updated with all new finishes and technology. Tall ceilings and lofted spaces give the impression of a classic A-frame cabin while huge north-facing windows offer views of the Big Trout shoreline. Gather ‘round the eight-foot wide, twenty-three-foot-tall stone fireplace to make a wood fire and unwind after a day on the lake. Keep your boat right on the water, sit on the dock and watch the kids swim or catch a fish.
Enjoy the convenience of a remodeled kitchen with all new appliances, cabinets, and countertops (don’t overlook the wine and beverage fridge tucked under the center island). Retreat to the walkout basement to play cards, catch a movie on the big screen tv, or take a nap in one of the lakeside hammocks.
Explore the peninsula along the path located directly across the street. Afterwards, grab an outdoor shower (below the new deck) but if that’s not your thing, step inside and on to the heated tile floors in any one of the three remodeled bathrooms. In the Pines sits at the crossroads of classic MN cabin and modern north woods comfort. Here, the sun does shine, and you won’t shiver the whole night through.
