What might be the history of an old deserted cabin by the lake in a short story?

Once upon a time, there was an old deserted cabin by the lake. The wooden planks of the cabin were rotting, and the roof had several holes. It was said that a hermit had once lived there long ago. He was a solitary man who fished in the lake every day. One day, he just disappeared, leaving the cabin behind. Now, the only visitors were the wild animals. The deer would sometimes come close to the cabin, and the squirrels would run across its porch. It stood there as a silent witness to the passage of time.

It swam around the lake for a while and then disappeared into the murky depths. The girl was left with an unforgettable memory of that strange encounter.
