About the host
Hosted by Kimberly Cremers
We are nature lovers at heart who find our greatest joy outdoors—hiking forest trails, camping under the stars, fishing quiet waters, and hunting in season. Family is at the center of everything we do, and we treasure time spent together in nature, creating memories that last a lifetime. This place is our way of sharing that love with others, inviting you to slow down, reconnect, and make your own unforgettable family memories in the great outdoors.
Why they chose this property
We chose the Hackensack area for its wild beauty and the sheer abundance of lakes—more than 120 just a short drive away—and because we were drawn to the timeless, back-to-nature charm of a log cabin tucked away on a private lake.
What makes this property unique
This property offers exceptional peace and quiet, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature—from frogs croaking to loons, sandhill cranes, and geese calling across the water. Trillium Lake is a private lake with limited recreational boat traffic; you’re far more likely to see a pontoon boat gliding by in the evening than a high-speed boat pulling tubers or skiers. At dusk, it’s rare to see or hear any sign of other people, creating a truly serene escape.
The cabin is centrally located among several vibrant Minnesota summer tourist towns, including Hackensack, Longville, and Walker. Hackensack features brand-new pickleball courts, a weekly kids’ fishing contest, a swappers meet, a brewery, a handcrafted cocktail lounge, and direct access to the Paul Bunyan Bike Trail. Longville is famous for its weekly turtle races, while Walker is bustling with activity, offering numerous shops, boutiques, breweries, and restaurants.
Fishing enthusiasts- You found your base! Trillium offers great large mouth bass fishing, but bring your boats and check out several of the 120+ lakes that are within a 15 mile radius of Hackensack, such as Leech, Ten-mile, Women, Birch, Pleasant, Stony, and Wabedo
