Cabane rustique en zone boisée isolée sur un promontoire surplombant le lac.

I always appreciate my guests’ feedback as it lets me know how I can improve. Advertising a “rustic” cabin with as many cozy amenities as my property offers isn’t easy to describe. The cabin is “rustic” because it’s remote, we keep it old-school and environmentally pristine. I offer the following context and clarity to my guests feedback: 1. The water at the cabin is perfectly safe to drink and tastes great. I prefer to bring my own drinking water because the water on the iron range is lightly tinted with mineral. You don’t have to! 2. There’s a large woodpile at the cabin. You may want to pick up some kindling from the local store or use an ax to chip some kindling off the logs in the woodpile. 4. Hot water-don’t run a bath after doing dishes or you will run out! There is enough hot water to take a bath in the small claw foot bathtub. (Its not a suburban soaker tub.) The small water heater is appropriate for the tub, and the environmentally friendly practices I offer. (And there’s a candelabra chandelier above the tub!) 5. Heat—this is a 750 sq ft cabin. There is a huge fireplace—we keep it old-school, plus two radiator style electric heaters—plenty of heat for this style of cabin with open vaulted ceilings. Lots of afghans and warm quilts on the beds!

Thanks for suggesting a toaster—I’m on it! (Grill tools were hiding in the back of the drawer). I’m happy to report our wonderful plumber came the day after your Labor Day visit. It was a small drip, but I appreciate your concern in turning off the hot side anyway. That was so thoughtful. Come back any time.
