Classic Lakefront Maine Cabin

This lakeside 3 bedroom retreat with huge quarried stone fireplace defines a "Maine cabin". My grandfather built the Big House in 1944 with rustic knotty pine walls, high ceilings, a modern kitchen, a spacious screened porch ten feet from the water, and spectacular lake views from every room in the house. Truly a rare and unique property in an age where newer buildings have large setbacks from the lake's edge.
