About this property

New - Cozy lakefront cabin on private wooded peninsula with bunkhouse and sauna

  • Escape to a cabin in Minnesota’s Northwoods, surrounded by towering pines and breathtaking water views from every window. You'll have a private peninusla with over 700 feet of lakeshore. Situated on Whiteface Reservoir, a 5.400 acre lake encircled by the pristine wilderness of the Superior National Forest. Enjoy the porch overlooking the lake, spend days kayaking, fishing & swimming, unwind in the lakeside sauna, or relax around a bonfire under the stars. This retreat features a one bedroom main cabin, plus a separate bunkhouse sleeping 6, making it perfect for a family getaway. Enjoy the Boundary Waters–like setting while still being within an easy drive of Duluth and Giant’s Ridge for hiking and dining.
    Highlights:
    Amazing lake views from every window + large deck (see both sunrise/sunset)
    Fully equipped kitchen + propane grill,
    One bedroom in main cabin, plus seperate bunkhouse with two bunkbeds (queen/twin)
    Large lakeview deck with rocking chairs
    Free use of kayaks (2 adult/2 child), canoe, su paddle board (byo lifejackets)
    Authentic Finnish sauna steps from the lake
    Dock for boat, plus nearby landing. Excellent fishing lake.

    Important: This cabin and setting are designed for relaxing getaways—not parties—making it perfect for families/friends seeking a peaceful stay on a nature-focused lake. If you are looking for a party lake, this cabin is not a good fit.

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
Overall, we enjoyed our stay because the cabin is in a beautiful location right on the lake, and the setting was peaceful and relaxing.Unfortunately, there were a few significant issues. The biggest drawback was that there was no air conditioning. During warm weather, the cabin became very hot, which made it difficult to sleep and enjoy our stay. If you’re booking in the summer, this is something to keep in mind.The grill had not been cleaned before our arrival and was covered in grease and residue, creating a potential fire hazard. We also couldn’t find a fire extinguisher anywhere in the cabin, which was concerning given the condition of the grill.The location is definitely the highlight of this property, but better maintenance and improved safety measures would make for a much more enjoyable experience.

Excellent location, only downside for us was no washer and dryer but completely understand why there isn’t. We would definitely recommend this for a family getaway!
