Gorgeous property and location

Enjoyed our 2nd visit to this beautiful spot. Great location and the cabin is fully stocked, clean and the grounds are well maintained. The hosts continue to make improvements. Enjoyed bonfires and card games in the game room which is a plus. This location is quiet and relaxing and a bike trail that is so close by. Great hosts! We hope to visit again.

Great Week At The Lake

We had a great time at the Larson's cabin. Everything was clean, modern and exactly as promised. The whole family had a nice, relaxing time enjoying the serene property, beautiful lake and easy access to both Nisswa and Pequot -- charming small towns with all the amenities you could ask for. Thanks so much for the great stay!

Best Cabin!

Our family of 5 enjoyed this cabin. Perfect location with easy access to the Paul Bunyan trail. The lake was so clear and nice to cruise around on with our boat. Eric is a great host and has thought of everything. The house is equipped with all you need to have a relaxing cabin getaway. Very clean and welcoming. The storage area was nice to put our bikes in and our kids loved the game room/bar attached to the storage area.

Pedal and Paddle

We loved how close we were to the PB bike trail and biked everyday with the kids. The girls loved how easy it was to bike to the playground (and ice cream). The kayaks were a great way to explore the lake. The owners pointed us to MN Traders which was a great stop for breakfast and coffee.

Hidden Treasure

Truly wonderful! Plenty of space for the kids to play and explore. We had so much fun, and the kids begged to go back the whole way home. It was so nice to see them disconnect. The location is also great, not to far from town and restaurants. We rebooked another weekend already!

Great!

The place has everything! All you need is food, drinks and toiletries. Eric was also kind enough to stop by and bring us some boat bumpers for our boat. There's plenty of wood for a fire and separate "man cave" with a bar and tv. It's close to a bike trail and a short drive to Pequot Lakes and Nisswa.

Happy with our decision to stay there

I would highly recommend this cabin to others coming to the area. Eric, the owner, stopped by shortly after we arrived and explained how to use the gas igniter for the fire pit which was all set up and ready for use. . The cabin was neat ,clean,cozy and very relaxing. The party room was a plus although we did not have the opportunity to use it but the storage room was great to house our bikes while not using them .The location was great for us as we were visiting family in nearby Jenkins.We would definitely stay here again. Thank You Eric!

What a gem!

We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable cabin. The owners have done an amazing job modernizing this property and it is totally adorable inside and out. The location is perfect - right on the water with the 'up north' feel but still super close to all the activities our kids love in the area (go karts, mini golf), restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Our 10 year olds had a blast jumping off the end of the dock and we were pleasantly surprised to find it relatively weed-free and a great depth for swimming. We brought our own kayaks and had a great time paddling around the calm lake too. Loved checking out MN Traders Co. for coffee and breakfast sandwiches - so good we went twice! If you're looking for a fantastic family or couples getaway, you can stop scrolling, this is it!

Beautiful Cabin Property & Lake - We Didn't Want to Leave!

The Pow Wow cabin was the perfect spot for a restful vacation! Beautifully renovated with an all-new interior and exterior features - clean, comfortable, and so much attention to the details. I cannot say enough great things about this rental, but I will share a few: 1) 5-star cabin – well equipped kitchen, luxurious bathroom towels, soft sheets and great pillows, new appliances throughout, porch to welcome the morning sun; 2) Lakeside - amazingly clear East Twin Lake, great swimming along the sandy shore, the 2 kayaks were perfect for exploring the quiet lake & beach area across the way and watching the loon family each day; 3) outdoor space - nightly fires with wood from property, comfy outdoor chairs, large picnic table for meals or games and night lighting creating a beautiful atmosphere. The cabin location was ideal – many options for a quick drive for a bite to eat, tourist shopping & entertainment, or picking up a forgotten necessity. Super easy check in and check out with grateful and generous hosts. Having rented several properties, Pow Wow has been the best to date - we didn’t want to leave! We left refreshed and will definitely be back again!

Amazing house in the perfect location. Absolutely flawless.

This house is just perfect. Amazing use of space makes it feel really spacious despite having a relatively small footprint and being nestled in a small copse steps from the beautiful lake. 2 lovely bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need, washer and dryer, 4 separate eating spaces, fabulous bar / games room and 2 kayaks and inflatables for lake fun. Exactly as described but photos and description do not do it justice. It is so peaceful, not overlooked and just remote enough. Only 5 minutes each way to nearest shops and restaurants and only 20 minutes from busier places with mini golf etc. Really enjoyed the sunrise over the lake and daily morning runs to Nisswa. Property is spotless and equipped to high standard throughout in steps to desk and dock with bench. Owners are very amenable and friendly and check in / check out was drama free. 10/10 and a real pleasure and privilege to stay in this wonderful property. Only negative is that it is 3950 miles from home, but I hope to be back one day.

This was our third summer staying at Eric and Laura's cabin and it's always a highlight of the summer for our family. It somehow keeps getting even better year after year! The pontoon rental option was a huge highlight and it gave us the chance to venture over to the cute sandy beach across the lake. As always, the property is super clean, cute, and well-stocked with everything needed to relax at the lake. You can tell they work hard to keep it that way. We'll be back again next summer!

Fantastic weekend with my Son!

My Son and I had a fantastic 4 day weekend at your beautiful cabin. It’s a wonderful cabin set on a gorgeous lake, and you did a marvelous job remodeling the place to a modern cabin where everything works and it’s all new and beautiful! We especially enjoyed hanging out by the fire pit and having bon fires every night. You had plenty of wood available and the propane torch to start the fire worked great! Also, we enjoyed kayaking on your beautiful clear & clean lake! Thank you so much. Your cabin was well worth the price. We hope to come back next year.

This was our second summer visiting this property and our kids are already asking to come back again next summer! Eric and Laura are great hosts and take such good care of their place - it's always really clean, easy to access, and offers such great amenities in a fantastic location. It has that great woodsy/lake feel, but still offers plenty of shops, restaurants, and activities nearby. We love it!

Great getaway for the Family

The Cabin was perfect for a quick getaway with the family. It was in a perfect location for easy access to hiking and town excursions. The Cabin itself was in great conditon and had newly renovated feel. The owners even left a welcome gift which was a nice touch. The firepit was in the perfect spot for family fun and the view was amazing. I think we may have come at the perfect time as the fall colors were beautiful. We were so happy we chose here to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Eric Larson

Host profile image
I have been fortunate to call the Nisswa area home for my entire life (with the exception of 3 years in the military). East Twin Lake has been one of my favorite lakes since I was a child. When the opportunity came up for me to purchase a small piece of the tranquility and great fishing I remember as a kid, I couldn't let it get away. My wife and I completely renovated the cabin, as that is my profession, but kept the small quaint cabin appeal.

Why they chose this property

The lake! East Twin is a great lake for fishing, boating, swimming and relaxing. The location of the cabin and the proximity to the Paul Bunyan Trail, cannot be beat!

What makes this property unique

This cabin sits on a peninsula. The west side of the property is on the bay side (also where the public access boat ramp is) and the east side overlooks the main part of East Twin. The main side has hard sandy bottom for swimming and dock ready for your boat.
