Iron River Michigan. Da UP, eh? Childhood cabin. In this perspective the lake is at your back - We're about half-way around the long side of a big oval. A perfect spot. The access road (with a national forest campground a half mile to the right) is on the other (back) side of the house, 40 yards up a hill.

The living room is on this side, stairs on the right head up inside the open-plan upper area front, above the fireplace - with vintage horns and heads mounted on the walls - to a rear two-large-beds, sloped-ceiling loft. The kitchen and first floor master are on the back-side, that you first see when arriving. The large "LP" gas tank, which we now call Propane, sat up the hill a bit and to the left. The left bump-out and blackened square window is the bathroom; tub, no shower.

In front of the cabin, the elevation dropped like eight feet quickly, then stayed even to the water. The picture is taken from the far side of the massive tangle of raspberry bushes the lay (after the drop) between the cabin and the sparsely-spaced-pines clearing-area that ran up to the lake. From the standing at the lake eye level and distance view.

Is this your cabin? It looks astounding. What scenery. Maybe I could take pictures of wildlife.
