About

Experience the ultimate retreat at this serene getaway on Burntside Lake with a classic sauna and electric fireplace. Nestled just 65 feet from the lake's crystal-clear waters, this peaceful haven offers year-round tranquility, only 15 minutes from town. Recently renovated with a charming nautical theme, the home is perfect for relaxation. Enjoy the expansive sand beach and private dock during warmer months. In winter, the bay location provides an ideal setting for snowshoeing adventures.

Good to know

On a sandy shoreline, the property is uniquely flat, allowing for ease of access during all seasons. The elegant, yet comfortable home is approximately 1000 sq ft and includes 2 bedrooms, a dining table for 4, modern shower, and a large sectional couch. The east bedroom is larger and has a queen bed. The west bedroom is smaller and has two twin beds. The living room has a large sectional couch. We supply all your basic kitchen needs, linens, extra blankets/pillows, towels, and basic toilet items. You will fall in love with the landscaping, docks, beach and outdoor patio. There is a patio table, grill, and several Adirondack chairs outside for your enjoyment. The lake is clear and shallow even quite a distance out from the shore. We will leave you a list of local spots we like to visit on the lake, as well as a map to the snowmobile trail. This was a year round private residence, so it well maintained and comfortable.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kelly’s! It was such a nice, private, and relaxing stay. We were able to wake up and catch fish right outside on the dock and kayaks. We would definitely recommend this stay to friends and family looking for a quiet place to enjoy a beautiful weekend!

We had a wonderful extended weekend at Kelly’s cabin. The cabin had everything we needed, including a washer and dryer. We enjoyed using the kayaks to explore Burntside Lake. The cabin is close to town and hiking trails. We can’t wait to return.

This place is beautiful. The lake did not disappoint. The house is pretty new and very functional. Great deck. Dock is solid. Great amenities. Kelly and Tanner were excellent hosts. Always responsive and went above and beyond to meet our needs.
