Cabin Escape - Lakefront - Sauna - Firepit - Paddleboards - Kayak

Time to enjoy and incredible get away in a uniquely modern MN cabin on the lake. We have put this space together in order for you to have an incredibly relaxing weekend, no matter if it's the dead of winter or a hot summer day! We provide vacation essentials for you to get your stay started off right such as tooth paste, tooth brushes, soaps, shampoo, and other must haves. There are also all these great amenities included: sauna, paddle boards, a kayak, life jackets, fully finished home gym, fire pit, snowshoes, fireplaces, and, of course, the lake!

With two bedrooms, and a bonus room, there is plenty of privacy for couples or families. Sleeps up to 10 guests. 1-king bed, a bunk with queen on bottom and full on top, 1-pull out queen sleeper sofa, a queen murphy bed, and 1-pull out full sleeper sofa. An air mattress is also available for use.

This place is great if you are looking to get out in nature! We are just a 10 minute drive from great hiking trails in the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. You can find ice skating rinks in the nearby towns (or on the lake if it's clear). Great options for snowshoeing and cross country skiing.

Nice place

The house was very nice. Quiet neighborhood. The evening we sat out and listened to the bands playing across the bay. We were hoping to be able to swim and fish more but it wasn’t what we were hoping for. That’s no fault of theirs. The pictures described it very well. Overall we were happy with our stay.

Great getaway

Great place to stay, it’s always great to be by the water! Nice, quiet and peaceful place to retreat after a day of being out and about. Also great for the family to stay in and relax while enjoying the lake. The house was clean, well kept and just as described. I would recommend this to all!

Sweet Place!

Perfect location for a cabin on a lake tucked back in the corner away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. Only downfall of the listing is the fact that it sleeps 10 people but you get charged for 5+ people, otherwise great experience!

Beautiful gem

This property was a perfect gem on the edge of a lake and a bay. You almost feel like you're in the middle of the lake. The home was welcoming and relaxing. Jaime and Don were amazing hosts who put such care into this place.

Great family time

We had a great family experience at the cabin. Our kids got hooked on the stand up boards and water activities. We made a camp fire played catch and played board games. Grocery store was an easy comfortable drive and the neighbors were accommodating and friendly.

Excellent lake front home! Great location, easy drive from the cities.

There was plenty of room for our group of 10, and tones of activity to use. From kayaks to corn hole, a nice fire pit and grill. The lake was sandy and clean. There was no later on the dock and the stairs down were steep but doable for everyone in our group.

Friend Weekend Getaway

This property was perfect for our needs. The space had plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. The beds were comfortable. The sauna, kayaks and paddle boards were a bonus! Communication was clear and prompt. Plenty of beautiful hiking areas nearby. The kitchen was well stocked with staples like spices and cooking oils. The rental met and exceeded our expectations in all aspects.
