The Property
At the heart of the island stands a striking original log-constructed lodge, designed for gatherings and relaxation.

Land and Water
The island is connected to the mainland by a charming walkway, where four rustic log cabins provide additional guest accommodations.

Bird Lakeβs reputation as a premier fishing destination adds to the propertyβs allure, with abundant opportunities for anglers to enjoy smallmouth bass and other native species.
Access and Utility
Despite its remoteness, the property is accessible by floatplane or rugged SUV via a logging road that reaches the northern end of the lake. Off-grid convenience is ensured with an ice house and generator, allowing for extended stays without sacrificing essential comforts. The combination of island and mainland facilities makes this retreat both versatile and self-sufficient.
