Paradise in Paradise

We are long time cabin owners on Lake Kabetogama and needed a place for my husband’s nurse to stay for our two week visit. From the initial contact Julie and Arvin could not have been more communicative and kind. I got a chance to spend time with them and they are both lovely people with a passion for their time at the lake. The home is beautiful, clean and well-appointed and the location and view is amazing. If you are traveling to Voyageurs National Park and Lake Kabetogama you need to check their home out and book it! Thanks, Julie and Arvin for a fabulous stay!

We had fun

Loved the sunrise looking over the bay every morning before we headed out fishing. We enjoyed the flowers leading to the dock and bullfrog pond. And we caught fish every time we went out. An amazing time

Serene Northwoods Getaway

Our family had booked a week to stay at Echo Retreat for early June 2022, but we were forced to cancel due to the epic flooding they had. Arvin and Julie graciously rescheduled our booking to the same week 2023. We are so appreciative of their stellar communication, both this year and last. We enjoyed the spaciousness of this beautiful lake home, as well as the privacy and the gorgeous view of Lake Kabetogoma. It had everything we needed for our stay, from a fully-stocked kitchen to lots of hooks on the walls to ample comfortable seating. The huge deck was ideal for relaxing with a book and a glass of wine. The temperature in the house was always comfortable, whether we needed the AC or the heat (and we needed both!), and there was plenty of hot, pressurized water for our showers (conserving water was not an issue at all). Sadly, the dock was not usable since it was nearly entirely underwater, rendering it useless to us. Fortunately, we had rented a boat from Northern Lights Resort and Outfitters (another fantastic place we recommend), which was located just up the road, so it wasn't too much of a hassle. There were lots of fish to be caught on the lake, the gravel roads were perfect for walking, and the coffee and ice cream at the nearby Pine Ridge Gift Shop were a special treat! Thank you so much, Arvin and Julie, for entrusting your property to us for a much-needed Northwoods retreat!

About the host

Hosted by Julie and Arvin Miner

Arvin organized a group of friends annually making the trip to Kabetogama for its extraordinary fishing and beauty. Every year he would tell Julie how he so loved the lake and as an amateur photographer, it supplied endless inspiration. In July 2019 he did an additional reservation where he brought Julie to see it all. In the 9 years, he had never thought about purchasing property but on a boat ride they saw a for sale sign on a cabin and it started the wheels turning. By the end of the trip their offer was accepted and it has changed their lives. The couple sold their lake home in Forest Lake and are building a smaller home in St Croix Falls. That vacation changed the trajectory of their future and they aren't looking back! They LOVE it!!

Julie is a painter and has her studio at Echo Retreat and Arvin enjoys fishing and wildlife photography and will retire in February 2022. Julie is a semi-retired fine artist and retired illustrator.
