About this property
Epic Sunsets + Pontoon Rental | Kayaks & Firepit
Escape to this lakefront retreat in Pequot Lakes, set among the pines on the shores of Sibley Lake. Panoramic windows bring in natural light and frame peaceful views through the tall pines, with beautiful sunsets glowing over the lake each evening.
The home comfortably sleeps up to 11 guests across four cozy bedrooms - featuring two king beds, one queen, and a bunk setup with a full and twin, and a main floor living room queen sofa sleeper - making it ideal for families or small groups.
With 1,400 square feet of living space across two levels, there’s plenty of room to spread out and unwind. Spend your days on the lake with complimentary kayaks, relax on the swim mat off the private dock, or explore the shoreline and nearby Mayo Creek for a peaceful paddle. You’ll also have access to five complimentary bikes for rides around the area or into town, along with outdoor games for easy, laid-back fun.
Evenings are all about gathering around the firepit and taking in the sunset views over the lake, one of the most memorable parts of staying here.
For even more time on the water, a pontoon is available to rent during your stay, and a public boat launch is just minutes away.
While the setting feels private and tucked among the pines, you’re just a short walk to downtown Pequot Lakes for groceries, restaurants, coffee shops, and a dog park. You’re also close to boutique shopping in nearby Nisswa, and only a half mile from the Paul Bunyan State Trail for biking, walking, or snowmobiling.
Red Pine Hideaway is just 6 miles from the popular town of Nisswa. Here, you can explore local shops, dining, and attractions, ensuring your stay is the perfect mix of peaceful lakefront living and accessible small-town charm.

Three siblings plus spouses stayed for a four-day weekend. We enjoyed the fire pit and the pontoon boat ride, plus time playing games and just relaxing. Accommodations were great, even with just one bathroom! Would stay again!
Carla was absolutely amazing in answering all of my questions. She made us feel welcome. The home is beautiful and the overlook on the lake was relaxing/calming. We didn’t utilize the fire pit due to the pine needles but we did have the option if we weren’t being lazy we plan on making this a yearly trip and look forward to coming back in the spring/summer.
We had a great time at this cabin. The property is clean and felt very safe. The location is amazing - right on the lakeshore overlooking Lake Sibley, close to downtown Pequot Lakes, and a short drive from Nisswa. The pontoon and kayaks were great for time on the lake, and the firepit was perfect for evening fires. We had a minor issue with the pontoon, but the hosts were very responsive to our messages and resolved the issue quickly and to our full satisfaction. We would love to stay here again!
We had a great time at the cabin, with the pontoon! Enjoyed the space, amount of supplies included, specifics and timely responses from the owners. Highly recommend
Absolutely loved this property and our stay! The place was exactly as advertised/shown. Loved the decor - very clean, comfortable and homey! It had everything we needed/wanted in a property in a great location. Carla was great - on top of everything. Would highly recommend this property.
This home was very well appointed and absolutely perfect fo our girls getaway. Communication with property manager was exceptional and quick. I would highly recommend this to anyone whether it be a family or just friends.
Beautiful cabin in the woods - check in was flawless. The kitchen had more than enough for dishes and pots and pans - beautiful and quality dishes. Only drawback for us was no railing on the steps. We are in our late 60s and mid 70's. Limited our time on the water. All in all - it was a fabulous time!! Would highly recommend

Thank you for your wonderful review, we’re so glad you enjoyed your time at Red Pine Hideaway!
Thank you for your feedback about the railing. Our listing notes the absence of a railing to the lake, however we plan to add railing in the near future. We hope you’ll be back at that time.
Our family just enjoyed time at this incredibly charming cabin and it was an absolutely perfect relaxing trip. We took the bikes for a nice ride into town, spent lots of time exploring the tranquil lake, and had everything at our fingertips inside the comfortable cabin. The trip was made even more special since our Dogs could tag along. The local dog park is just a short walk away and was so convenient. Would rent this property again if even just for the sunsets!
Beautiful setting with fresh snow on the pines surrounding this cozy and comfortable home. Perfect for gathering with our adult children and family dog. We enjoyed snowshoeing on the lake, meals in the dining room with a lakeview, games, by the fire, and dog walks on the quiet road. A great space for our weekend to connect. Great communication and very responsive hosts.for ouf
Just got back from our visit to this cozy yet roomy lakeside retreat. Used it to both chill and find some quiet time to do some strategic planning for myself. This place did not disappoint. Everything you need is there, and the hosts were organized and always friendly and helpful. Plenty of room to fine with friends and plenty of small places to lounge and chill. That fireplace is also wonderful. Highly recommend.
Property was perfect for us! Had access to lake, fire pit, nice deck, and plenty of space to hang out in the cabin. This property had all the space and amenities for the 7 of us without any issues. Location was excellent- 5 mins to downtown Pequot lakes for restaurants, groceries, etc and short drive to gull lake for more options. Plenty of great golf courses within 20 min drive. Would definitely stay at this property again!
We decided to head up north for my son’s 24th birthday. It was me, my wife, daughter and son in law and their 18 month old.
The property was so awesome. It was adorable with knotty pine everywhere. It was clean and just perfect. We had a fire going in the cabin most of the time we were there. The owners were so helpful and accommodating to everything we needed. We even saw a deer run through the yard by the lake. We will definitely be back!
We have been renting cabins for over 20 years and were looking for a cozy cabin with spectacular views to rent for a long weekend to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Red Pine Hideaway did not disappoint. The whole cabin is decorated beautifully and feels very homey and relaxing. The owners have thought of everything from a well stocked kitchen to cozy spaces to relax or read a book and a well stocked game cupboard. The view of the lake from the living room/dining room and deck are gorgeous. It is also nice to be close enough to walk into town. We would love to come back in the summer and take advantage of the lake and fire pit and also can imagine how cozy and wonderful it would be to visit in the winter. We will be back for sure!
We loved everything about Red Pines Hideaway!
Every detail is thought through inside this cabin--from towel hooks to coasters to family games. As guests we could arrive and just enjoy the very scenic spot.
Sibley lake is fabulous--at moments serene and relaxing and also lively and well-enjoyed by other boaters. We really liked the size and depth of this lake for boating and swimming. And the sunsets! Red Pine Hideaway is west-facing so sunsets on the docks are outstanding.
Our hosts Carla and Greg were so hospitable--easy to contact and generous in their preparations for us.
We can't recommend this cabin rental enough: it's the perfect spot for family and friends to enjoy some time in lakes country MN. Thanks to the Basts for hosting!
We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at the cabin. The cabin was very clean and well designed. The deck was large enough for all of us to hang out and we also enjoyed the nightly campfire. The location of the lake was great and we enjoyed kayaking to Mayo Lake, pontooning/fishing around Sibley, and visiting the sand bar just across from the dock. The lake wasn’t overcrowded and water was refreshing. We also enjoyed our walks around the lake and into town. Location was great in that we were 3 minutes away from groceries but still had the remoteness of a cabin. The rooms were nice and we had plenty of room for six. There is only one bathroom, but with six people, that was never an issue. The owners were also great to work with. I would highly, highly recommend this property and we hope to come back in the future.
