Yes, the property was owned by Helen and Bud Fitkin. You describe the property well. The concrete you mentioned was a bomb shelter that my Dad built I believe sometime in the 50's. It was stocked with canned goods and dehydrated space type food. There was also a couple of radiation proof space suits! It was a neat place! My Mom had a great rock garden on the upper part of the brook and on the flat between the house and boathouse we 4 kids built a horseshoe pit with clay we would wheelbarrow from just down the road before getting to the Beaver Island dock. We will definitely visit next summer...do you have another house nearby or just use the cabin?
