Walkout basement with ground level deck. 200 feet from the shore of quiet Black Lake . . .there is a public access . . . bring your boat! Plenty of dock space. The Cuyuna Lakes Bike Trails are 28 miles of Red Gold that twist their way through the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area, and the towns of Deerwood, Crosby, Ironton, Cuyuna, and Riverton. Over 30 purpose-built trails to choose from, everyone from beginner to pro, can enjoy the breath-taking rides and overlooks. Minutes from "The Antique Capital of the Lakes Area [over two dozen antique stores!]". Black Lake is large enough to water ski or tube, but small enough to explore with a canoe, paddleboat, or Stand Up Paddleboards/kayak. Less than 1/4 mile from public access to Serpent Lake. You will often find yourself the only boat on the lake. Included in the rental is the use of a PK4400 Paddle King paddleboat [4 adults, 820 lb capacity], canoe, small fishing boat [oars only], and 2 Stand-Up Paddleboards [one coverts to a kayak]. Life jackets, slalom skis, and floaties are provided. Private swimming raft and 6' x 18' Aqua Lily Pad [a buoyant on-water portable floating island]. Large yard for games, and an inviting fire pit [firewood provided] for s'mores and hotdogs. Large wrap-around deck to enjoy sunrises and the call of the loons. Private deck off the master bedroom. Lakeside deck 15' from waters' edge. 2 docks, one with an 8' x 16' end section. Attached 2.5 car garage to store your bikes, sleds, and toys. Lots of parking. Walkout basement with ground level deck. Regularly professionally sprayed for mosquitoes all summer long. Full access to everything except one stall of the garage [separate stall from the 2.5 car garage that you do have access to]. I will personally check you in and give you a tour of the cabin and available facilities. After that, I can always be reached at 218.851.1133 Although the property is on a lake in the woods, it is only one mile from Deerwood and four miles from Crosby, which has several restaurants, a grocery store, and places to whet your whistle. You can ride your bike from the driveway to the paved bike trail that connects Deerwood to Crosby . . . and to the Cuyuna Bike/Mountain Bike Trail System. Parking is virtually unlimited, plus you will have access to a 2.5 car attached garage. Local biking videos of interest: 1) "Long Live Cuyuna" : https://youtu.be/fxXOf6Pfmnk 2) 4K!
