Other things to note
This is a cabin in rural Minnesota where you will find a nice break from the hustle and bustle of city life. There are friendly neighborhood dogs and cats who like to come and visit. This cabin is not child-proofed. *Remember, this is a lake cabin. There will be bugs, spider webs, animals, tree mess and whatever comes with lake-life around the property and cabin. Mid to late summer the lake can have some algae/mossy areas along the lakeshore due to changing weather conditions. It will change from day to day*
