About this property

The Definition of Get-Away-from-it-All!

  • Escape to Your Private Lakeside Wilderness Retreat

    Imagine unwinding on your own 120 acres of secluded woodland, with an incredible 1500 feet of pristine, native lake shoreline entirely at your disposal. At our unique hideaway, one of the lake's original cabins, you can truly get away from it all and immerse yourself in nature. Situated just 30 feet from the water's edge, you'll feel like you're practically sleeping on the lake!

    While offering a tranquil and private escape, please note that our cabin provides primitive amenities for a true off-grid experience. If your ideal vacation includes words like "glamping," "secluded," "get-away-from-it-all," "quiet," and "private," then this could be the perfect retreat for you.

    Cozy Cabin Features:

    Sleeping Loft: Two twin XL beds (can be combined into a king).
    Downstairs: Comfortable sectional couch with an ottoman that converts to a cot.
    Basic Kitchenette: Microwave and refrigerator (please note: no running water in the kitchenette).
    Primitive Bathroom: An outhouse is provided for bathroom facilities.
    Relaxation: Enjoy a traditional wood-fired sauna after your adventures.
    Outdoor Oasis (Summer Months): A unique deck with a hot tub and solar shower awaits you.
    Entertainment: Big-screen TV, cable, and high-speed internet are available for your convenience.

    Explore Your Private Paradise:

    Water Adventures: Take advantage of our two kayaks and a paddleboard to explore the tranquil lake. Enjoy easy access to the water from our floating dock.
    On-Land Exploration: Discover the trails throughout the 120-acre property at your leisure.
    Nearby Thrills: For UTV and snowmobile enthusiasts, find endless routes on over 500 miles of local trails.
    Nature Lovers' Paradise: We are conveniently located less than 10 miles from the North Country National Scenic Trailhead on Hwy 113 and approximately a 30-minute drive from both Itasca State Park and Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge.

    Important Notes for Your Stay:

    Remote Location: The cabin is about a 1/4 mile drive from the main road, with the final 500 feet involving a steep incline. Guests with rear-wheel drive should strongly consider parking at the top of the hill and walking down to the shoreline.
    Primitive Living: Please be aware that this is a primitive cabin. You will need to bring your own drinking water.
    Cooking: An electric pellet grill is provided for your outdoor cooking needs.
    What to Bring: Unless otherwise arranged, you will need to bring your own bedding and linens.
    Guest Responsibility: To waive all cleaning fees, we kindly ask that you leave the cabin clean and ready for the next guest. This includes removing all garbage (please pack out your garbage).

    Embrace the peace and solitude of our lakeside retreat! Book your unforgettable escape today.
