Burnt Point Lodge

burnt point lodge sells classic wilderness gear for the modern outdoorsman from the shores of wolfpine lake. the first cabin on burnt point was built by john mccracken, a fur-trapper from the orkney islands. he later sold the land to railroad baron bartholomew noble for $50 and a bottle of scotch. noble built the grand lodge that you can still see here today. during prohibition, the lodge (far from the eyes of johnny law) attracted the great and the good from around the world for both its famed namesake cocktail “the burnt point sour” and its infamous annual sled-dog race. the lodge's ancient caretaker, whitney, claims to have witnessed most of it, which seems unlikely. but in the front hall there is a faded picture of him guiding teddy roosevelt on a hunting trip, so who knows. burnt point changed hands several times in the 20th century, before the current owner nick taggart won it in a high stakes poker game. he recently reopened the lodge to guests and our dry goods shop to everyone
