An awesome retreat!
My girl and I had searched for a cabin like this for a year, maybe two. We both grew up in the northern mid-west and spent summer vacations in remote family cabins on the water, in a time when nothing was spoiled by heavy human presence. John's 'cabin' has the exact remote north woods feel we remember as kids, starting with a drive winding up and down through the forest ending a couple miles in with a cabin that far exceeded our childhood lodging. The pictures do not do the place justice! The main room and flanking bedrooms have floor to ceiling windows and doors that lead out onto the full length deck, elevated above the river 20 - 30 feet away. VERY well laid out. The view is spectacular, especially when watching bald eagles and ospreys on their tours up and down the river. Kayaks are staged along the river every hundred yards maybe - we used those and the tubes we brought every day. The next closest cabin is a hundred or more yards away, but you don't see it from the grass path along the river. That's rare, and is in our top three criteria (cabin that fits the surroundings, water, and privacy). Even better - no mosquitos! That made outdoor time all the more enjoyable.
