Secluded...but not excluded

Secluded home with lake view. Surrounded by woods; no neighbors to be seen. Lots of serviceable equipment in the kitchen--even a bread machine. Private bedrooms in the basement and semi-private bedrooms on main level. Loft with bunks is open to the main living area. Nice big fireplace and there's a fire circle outside Home is close to Itasca State Park and Bemidji. Terrific hostess.
