The space
The Location

Lake country meets woodland oasis. Waters Edge Retreat is a peaceful getaway tucked away in the leaf hills. The property consists of 9 acres of mature oak forest surrounding the home, which provides the most serene privacy anyone could ever ask for. Let your dog run free while you enjoy the peace and quiet on the back deck! Driving in, you will follow winding roads deep into the woods which eventually brings you to your destination. The yard opens up to the cabin and just around the corner is a large backyard amongst the waters edge. Here you will realize how much privacy you truly have! Don’t forget to bring your fishing gear and spend a day out on the water reeling in some panfish or bass!


Bed & Bath

The space comfortably sleeps four guests, making it ideal for couples, friends, or families. The bedroom features one king-size bed and ample closet space. The couch in the living room folds out into a queen size bed and offers a direct view of the lake. What's better than waking up to the sunrise over the water?! Additionally we offer a convertible air mattress that can be used either as a king size bed or two individual twin size mattresses.

The home has one bathroom, which features a beautiful stone tiled shower and tub combo. Feel free to utilize the washer & dryer during your stay. Bath linens are provided.

Perfect Weekend Escape!

Peaceful. Quiet. Fun. Beautiful overlook to the lake. Exceptional privacy. Great value. Dog friendly. Easy access to town. Deck was convenient with gas grill and blackstone cooking. Garage was filled with lake equipment. Nice dock and not another person on the lake all weekend. The property is gorgeous and well maintained. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful retreat

This place was perfect for us! The property is beautiful and just as remote as we were hoping. The house itself is simple but had everything we needed, and it was very clean and comfortable. We loved being able to see the lake and woods through all of the large windows even when inside. Overall it was a wonderful, relaxing stay and we hope to come back soon.

Wonderful autumn retreat

This was the BEST cabin for our fall getaway! It was cozy, private, and quiet. The view of the lake from inside the cabin and from the backyard is spectacular. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, making cooking meals together a breeze. Our dog loved the yard and surrounding woods. The house was very clean and the host was responsive. We had a wonderful time and would love to stay again!

Peace and quiet

Our August stay was wonderful. My wife and I remarked more than once about the quiet and solitude, and how writers and artists would appreciate it. The quiet lake setting is beautiful, and we appreciated the Kayak available for use. These two retirees are more than willing to return again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Perfect weekend getaway!

If you are looking for a private relaxing getaway this is the place to come. House/cabin was very clean and private. Was a bit cool at night and early mornings so wish we could have used the wood stove and one propane tank was empty but there was another one we used. Can hear neighbors and dogs but couldn't see any one so very private. I would highly recommend!

Lovely Weekend Getaway

We were happy to getaway from the noise of the cities with a cabin that allowed our pup (german shepherd and husky mix) to be off leash without worrying about running into neighbors. There was plenty of hot water for a relaxing shower after being out and about all day. The only downside was forgetting to bring coffee grounds, none in the house, and the nearest shop that was open on Sunday was in Alexandria.

Fall Getaway

We were looking for a quiet fall getaway and that is what we got. Perched on a small hill overlooking the lake, we were able to enjoy the weather, the color of the leaves (although we were just a bit late for the full display) and the setting sun while sitting on the covered patio. We were also able to walk thru the crunching leaves in the surrounding woods. The cabin was clean, quiet and comfortable. Thanks Page for a great place to find all of the above.

Very quiet and comfortable stay. There are other houses on lake, but no docks, so it does feel like the small lake is all yours. Communication with host was efficient and cabin was clean and everything in good order... except there was no hot tub! :-( The host explains in the guest book that due to dept. of health regulations the whirlpool has been removed. (Being the case, it should also be removed as an amenity).

Long weekend get away

It was a nice cabin, but felt like it wasn’t clean. Bedroom floor had ants which were all over our bags. We found a mice nest with babies in the grill. We were also told we could swim, our boys and dogs were filled with leaches. Fishing wasn’t good, only caught a couple small pan fish. It was private until Sunday morning when a group of people and kids came to our dock kayaking. Be prepared to cut your own firewood as they didn’t have any precut, as they said they have firewood. Bring hand soap for bathroom and kitchen sink, as there wasn’t any. Location was beautiful and quiet. Communication with page was great.

Lake Cabin Anniversary Getaway with our 6 month old Puppy!

When looking for a lake cabin getaway, one thing that was very important to us was that our cabin was dog friendly and that there were dog-friendly activities nearby. This cabin is located very closely to battle lake which has a dog-friendly brewery and dog friendly cidery to enjoy. This area truly feels like a Minnesota outdoors experience, especially if you're just looking for some low-key lake hangs and breathing in the fresh air. We have been socializing our 6-month-old dog who's gone through puppy training classes and this cabin offered us space to see how he would do outside of his normal comfort zones and experience swimming in the lake for the first time as well as taking him to the dog friendly brewery to socialize. Our vacation felt very private and very comforting for our first vacation with our new doggie. The owner let us know ahead of time that there's a pretty fast drop off and no beach, so we brought a life jacket for our puppy and he did so great hanging out with us on the lake while we paddle boarded. Having access to kayaks and paddle boards was such a fun perk for this vacation and honestly one of the reasons we chose this property. The property itself was very clean and spacious and felt just right for us especially since we like to cook our own meals on vacation and spend less money eating out this lake cabin getaway provided everything we needed. Highly recommend!
