Quiet Shell River Cabin with Sauna

Our Cozy little cabin is the perfect getaway for all seasons. The sauna is an extra treat. The property is close to the tiny town of Osage and the Smokey Hills State Forest. The Shell River runs through the property providing the perfect relaxing background at the campfire. The large oaks provide beautiful green shade in the summer, an array of orange & yellow in the fall and a beautiful place for the frost and snow to settle in the winter.

Unbelievable value and location in lake country

What an amazing cabin! Fully updated and comfortably furnished. The kitchen is HUGE and fully stocked. Expansive grounds with river views, fire pit, and grills. Comfortable bed with clean, fresh linens. Honestly, this place was 100% A+++++ - we loved it and would absolutely return. Deana was super available and communicative throughout the stay. No complaints whatsoever. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Peaceful

Very peaceful stay among the trees and near the river. We loved sitting on the little dock (it being there was a nice surprise), and watching the river flow. Our dog liked jumping into the water which was clean and clear and only about a foot deep in our section. You can’t see the water from inside the cabin but the natural light through the old-growth oak trees more than makes up for it, it is stunning. The cabin itself was very comfortable, well-decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with necessities.

shell lake hideaway

It was a great experience. It was clean and true to the pictures posted on the site. A lot of nice little touches you don't get at other places. Nicely stocked kitchen supplies and weber grill which made it easy to grill out and make our own meals. Fire pit with supplied wood was a pleasant surprise along with board games and dvds. Neighbors at times were a little noisy with their machines but it did not last long, over all very quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

Had what we needed to make a meal and relax for a few days. With all the rain and humidity it was a little damp inside, but that's really just part of the Minnesota summer climate.

Relaxing!

This was such a great place to truly kick back and relax! It was comfortable having all you needed to enjoy a "home away from home." The sauna was a bonus to help a person unwind. There was a great selection of movies with a kitchen, which had everything to prep a fantastic meal. It was simply a fun place to stay. Would love to come back again!
