Cedar log cabin on a remote, heavily wooded lot, with 200 feet of lakefront shoreline, at the edge of Papineau-Labelle Provincial Preserve. Much of the furnishing in this family cabin is antique, but it's comfortable and fully operational.
Built on a rather steep incline, the cabin commands a view of the lake from a height of 35 steps above the lake and is 35 steps down from the parking lot above. At the shore is a boat house with dock and a crescent shaped sandy beach leading to a rocky point of land. The lake is drinkable, over a mile long and connects by boat with a larger lake to the north.
ACCOMMODATIONS: The cabin is of finished, solid, cedar log two level "Pan Abode" construction, built in 1965, with screened porch on the lake (east) side and a large open deck on the north side.
THE MAIN FLOOR: Features two bedrooms with closets, full bathroom, and the living/dining/kitchen area. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed and overlooks the lake. The smaller bedroom has a view of the forest and houses a 3/4 sized bed. A baby crib is available on request. The living room looks over the lake and forest through two picture windows, with fireplace, stereo, TV, telephone, and a couch which pulls out to make a single bed.
The kitchen/dining area occupies the west end of the main room and features a rustic "purpose-built" dining table that accommodates seven, a full-size refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, coffeemaker, and toaster. All appliances and cabin heating are electric. The bathroom is complete with toilet, sink, tub, and shower.
THE LOWER LEVEL: The lower level, with a door to the outside, features a corner bedroom with king-size heated waterbed and windows facing the lake and forest. Also on this floor is the utility/storage room containing washer, dryer, and a back-up refrigerator.
THE LAY OF THE LAND: Homey, rustic and cozy, this cabin is located well away from the road, with a 200 foot entrance lane and easy parking for at least six cars. Winding, lighted stone steps lead down from the parking lot to the cabin. The large open deck on the north side of the cabin, with picnic table, chairs and benches is ideal for parties, sunbathing, cookouts, etc. The screened porch on the front (east side) provides a spectacular view of the lake and surrounding country, and is an ideal spot for intimate meals, lazing, reading and, with its two cots, for sleeping.
LOCATION: Lac Castor/La Minerve, Quebec, Canada is in the Laurentian Mountains 120 miles Northwest of Montreal, by paved highway to within one-half mile of the lot. It is 86 miles from Ottawa, including 11 miles of gravel through the Papineau-Labelle Preserve.
