If you’re seeking rustic elegance and sweeping views, you’ve found your second home. Exposed beams, French casement windows and mounted fish make for a Midwest-modern style. It ain’t fancy, but it’s plain and sensible–just like our Depression-era grandparents.
Take selfies in front of a fieldstone-studded fireplace (there are three). Let the near-floor-to-ceiling Douglas fir paneling make you feel all outdoorsy. Open the French doors two at a time like The Great Gatsby might have done a century ago.
In the kitchen, cast-iron skillets and measuring cups line the wall. An old-fashioned wrap-around porch looks out on Elbow Lake, while the upper deck feels a lot like a treehouse. Also includes a half-basement to hide your booze during Prohibition accessible via, you guessed it, a trap door.
