Notes

Jeff Wilcox of Woodland Realty presents "Orchard Cabin" [Meta: Front image was taken in 1910.]

Transcription

This cottage was built in 1900 when the Douglas lake shore was blossoming. It is a fine example of a perfectly preserved home, including the original, custom-made furnishings. It has over 200 feet of sandy beach. Orchard Cabin is looking for a new owner who will value it for the antique that it is.
