Original log cabin on Whalen Lake. Walk right out your front door to the lake on a level lot. Nice patio to hang out and enjoy the view of the lake. The charcoal grill sits on the patio for cooking your favorite meal while watching the lake at the same time. Also enjoy the great views of the lake around a crackling fire in the firepit. The cabin is compact but has plenty of room for up to 6 people. Don't miss your chance to stay at this authentic lake front log cabin.
