Beautiful get away

The cabin is beautiful. Welcoming, cozy, and more than well equipped for a comfortable break from the busy home life. Extras like a dishwasher, washer and dryer, and on the nights a fire in the wonderful fire pit area were not an option we used the wifi for streaming movies on the SmartTV. All nice bonuses. We enjoyed our stay and won't hesitate to come back.

Memorable Fire Ring area

I think the fire ring was one of the best and most memorable parts of this stay. The dock is well maintained and it was great having our boat there. The kitchen is spacious and a big dining table was great for eating and for playing games. It would be good to put dressers in the bedrooms since there are no closets :)

Towering Pines...a Treasure!

Excellent in every way. Exactly as represented. Beauty of a classic cabin with a great floor plan, lavish space, wise updates, & fully equipped. The fire pit amid towering pines was, to me, a cathedral. Host was responsive to advance questions, but we had no need to connect during our stay. Rustic "Up North" MN at its finest! As a 2023 getaway for our family...priceless. Would love to return.

Perfect week up north in Minnesota!

This cabin is beautifully located, providing beautiful sunset views each evening. The cabin has all the creature comforts: comfortable beds, a dishwasher!, modern bathroom and kitchen, plenty of towels and paper products, and the most fully equipped kitchen you can imagine. Two kayaks, also.

Towering Pines Lakeside Getaway really does have beautiful towering pines!

Four friends and myself spent a glorious weekend at this rustic, comfy cabin home. There was plenty of space, great amenities such as new washer and dryer, fridge and a two oven stove! The fire pit gives an amazing view of Lake Minnewawa that is a joy to watch at sunset. There was little to no noise on the lake which was peaceful and welcome. The private dock is perfect for tanning on a towel or lounging in a raft. Plenty of windows with the option of AC as well. The hosts were considerate and quick to answer any questions. I would definitely rent this cabin again!
