Norm’s Cabin

For any outdoor enthusiast, there are few places more serene or ideally situated than Norm’s cabin. Located on the shores of a remote and secluded bay of Bone Lake, you may not even need to venture off the front deck or balcony to see moose, bald eagles, a pileated woodpecker or a mother merganser and her skittering brood of youngsters. Come to Norm’s and experience first-hand the haunting cry of the loons in summer, or perhaps the howl of wolves on a crisp winter night.
