About this property

The Adolph Levin Cottage, also called the Levin Cabin, is a historic vacation property on Kabetogama Lake in St. Louis County, Minnesota, United States.

In 2011 the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its significance in the themes of architecture and entertainment/recreation. It was nominated for being a representative early-20th-century lake retreat, and for the rustic architecture and traditional Finnish construction of the cabin.
