This beach cabin was built by our Norwegian uncle, Hans, a fisherman and logger. He built the cabin as his home in the 1930s. . Renovated with accessibility in mind as one of our family members uses a power chair, there is an large, open living and kitchen space with big picture windows so you don’t miss a thing. A comfy lift chair adds to the amenities. The kitchen is fully equipped. The dining corner has room for six (but don’t tell anyone we have crowded 8 around it for crab feasts). The deck off the front provides a level entrance to the cabin as well as a grill and chairs to chill on or sunbath in. The cabin has housed many great family reunions.

Over the past year we have begun making exciting changes to our cabin. Our goal is a truly accessible beach cabin. The bedroom with large windows overlooking the bay has doubled in size and has room for a power wheelchair on all sides of the queen bed. It has a patient lift and commode while we finish the 2nd bathroom. The cabin has a level entrance a light filled great room and kitchen all designed with a chair in mind. The bathroom is partially accessible. Please feel free to reach out with questions.

A walkway from the bulkhead across to the nearest spit provides easy access to the tidal flats of Useless Bay. It is also a fun place to see small crabs and fish for them with a hotdog baited pole - a time honored tradition!
