Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain and Robinson Crusoe would be envious of this charming, rustic cabin that dates back to the early 1960's. The best aspects of this appealing property are the close proximity to the lake, tall mature white pines, smooth granite rock shore, sunrise view down the lake and a crown-owned island just off the shore to swim to and picnic on. As soon as one walks into the cabin, the wooden ceilings and beams, old pine floors and overall cottage country vibe will embrace you and compel you to stay. The wood stove warms the interior quickly and keep everyone cozy. Astounding views of nature pour in through the windows. It's an open concept between the living spaces within, which keeps family and friends connected. The walkout to a sprawling sundeck is something special with an unparalleled view like no other! The rocky shore allows swimmers to wade in and yet there's deep water that's ideal for docking water vessels along a great floating dock. This lake has a real family vibe to it. Explore some crown land trails for snowmobiling, snowshoeing, ATVing or mountain biking and so much more! The calls of loons, owls and wolves. .. together with enjoying star-lit dark skies by the firepit are FREE! Fishing in Otter Lake is awesome. E. B White was known to enjoy this special lake, decades ago, at a camp located at its east end. Come by and see why this lake appeals to so many! Located conveniently close the enchanting town of Dorset, and yet only 2 1/2 hrs from Toronto. Start your memories here at this Algonquin~esque beauty!
