River Cabin on the Pine River- Adult only

Cabin #2 - Newly renovated in 2021, this cozy cabin is steps away from the relaxing waterfront. Perfect for kayaks and canoes. Large deck with a propane grill. The river flows into Norway Lake. There is a swimming area in the river that has a nice sandy bottom and at most is around 4ft deep. It is an excellent area to lounge on a floaty or play water games. In the photos is resident dog, Nora.

Quiet setting only minutes from the city of Pine River and amenities. Nearby attractions include: 1 mile from the Paul Bunyan Trail for biking in summer and snowmobiling in winter, 2 miles from Bluegrass Festival, 2 miles from Junkathon, 14 miles from Spider Lake ATV trails, 25 miles from Northern Lights Casino and Leech Lake. Numerous lakes nearby as well.
If you are bringing your pet, please make sure you choose this when booking!

The accommodation were clean and had a down home feeling. The location was quiet and peaceful. The check in was seamless. The kitchen was adequate but we didn't have need for a kitchen this time. Would consider staying there again.

Clean, quiet, friendly! More than we expected; good appliances and appointments. Very nice setting on the Pine River, though at this time of year (July) it appears overgrown with wild rice.

Great place to stay

Went there for my 10 year anniversary with my girlfriend. It was just as listed. Great little cabin right on the river. Was an amazing weekend getaway with great views and just plain relaxing. Easy to take the kayaks out onto the river also. The owners were also really friendly and cool people. The cabin was as clean as I would expect a cabin. Had everything we needed as well. Overall it was a great place to stay and we will most likely stay there again.
