Property Description
ULTRA RARE opportunity to own a piece of Trout Lake history with this 1940s historic lodge on shores of idyllic Wegwas Lake. Established in the 1930s the Wegwas Lake Club now exists as a private and gated community right in the heart of the Eastern UP and is comprised of only 13 discreet and tastefully built homes. Once aptly called 'Beaver Lodge' and built by philanthropist Phil DeGraff this enchanting rustic lodge is everything one could wish for in a private retreat: peace serenity with a touch of old-world class. The expansive structure is made entirely of (full) logs & slate/stone with intricate detailing to be found around every corner including Niagara Escarpment fossil stone features in the unique slate/stone fireplaces walls and the winding stone staircase and stunning woodwork throughout. Depending on which entrance you use downstairs you will find a charming yellow kitchen area with a spacious storeroom (with walk-in refrigerator) a food prep station and just down the hall an expansive dining room and two large living areas each offering exceptional views of the lake from the numerous picture windows. Up from those gathering areas there is a small private library a hidden loft cubby space overlooking the intimate 'music' room that is loaded with charm and yet another huge stone fireplace! Upstairs can be accessed from three separate staircase locations and once upstairs you will find twelve separate color-coded sleeping areas and a communal living room. Nine of these are private rooms with doors and three are open. Three rooms were specifically built for the Lodge's staff and accessed via the kitchen staircase two areas for Phil DeGraff himself accessed via the music room and five upscale 'guest rooms' four of which face the lake and accessed from the dining area via a winding stone staircase. All but one guest room (the 'red' room) have ensuite half or full bathrooms and there are two shared full bathrooms for the remaining areas. Th
