I was looking for inexpensive camps with a client a couple weeks ago and ran across a very sweet little place on Cross Lake. It was too tiny for my client, who wanted to live in it year-round and had visiting grandchildren, but we both admired it.
The entrance was off a small wrap-around deck into the one room that serves as kitchen, living room and main bedroom. The cabinets were old - the white metal kind I had in my camp prior to renovation. In fact, this camp was built about the same time, late 1940s.
The living/family/bedroom was dominated by a huge stone fireplace which would heat the place easily - maybe too easily! Hardwood floors, beamed ceiling, and a dear bathroom with circular shower in the rear completed the "main" house. The owners had added a carved orange sofa facing the fireplace - all the comforts of home!
The front porch added another "room." Currently it has a king size bed and a small table set for two overlooking the deck and the lake.
My description doesn't do it justice, I'm afraid. It's only 550 or so square feet - but every inch is filled with memories and the promise of hot days and warm nights on the lake. And the price? $54,900 - a steal!
