The North Forty Cabin Retreat, private place for families, 30 min. from Bemidji

Rustic and cozy, the cabin rests on a hilltop among 40 acres of woods along a paved road in northern Minnesota. Base price of 300 per night for up to 4 adults, with one cleaning fee of 250 for any number of nights. Extra adults are 50 each per night, but children stay at no extra charge. When booking, please state only the number of adults, and then send a message indicating the number of children.

A natural stone fireplace, plus a roomy, fully equipped kitchen & dining area make the main floor homey and inviting. Guests will enjoy lovely views of scenery and even wildlife from the wrap-around deck. Settle in and experience the peacefulness!

There are multiple lakes in the area to enjoy, as well as wintertime downhill skiing at Buena Vista Ski Area, just 25 minutes away.

Secluded, roomy, beautiful.

The place was an awesome place for a secluded weekend getaway. There was plenty of room for my family and we had a great time. The property owner was easy and quick to communicate with. We would definitely consider returning to this location 😀

Secluded...but not excluded

Secluded home with lake view. Surrounded by woods; no neighbors to be seen. Lots of serviceable equipment in the kitchen--even a bread machine. Private bedrooms in the basement and semi-private bedrooms on main level. Loft with bunks is open to the main living area. Nice big fireplace and there's a fire circle outside Home is close to Itasca State Park and Bemidji. Terrific hostess.
