Our stay was a 10 out of 10! The goal for this vacation was to enjoy peaceful, quiet surroundings and spend time in nature, and we got exactly what we were looking for. We loved visiting Itasca State Park and spending some time exploring Pelican Rapids. The cabin was perfect for us—comfortable, relaxing, and a wonderful place to come back to after a day out. We especially loved the screened-in porch! We had a great stay and would absolutely recommend it.

Everything about this place was charming. It's quiet and the view is gorgeous! The set up is perfect for a winter getaway. The chocolates and maple syrup was a nice touch too. Highly recommend!!
The view from the loft is the best. A good book and a quiet morning was so nice.

Everything about this location is great. It is secluded in a forested part of the state. Once you get there and see this cabin by the lake, you will know its the right decision. Very calm and serene experience. There is a lot of room on the property to take a roundabout hike in the woods, swing from a tree, have a fire, hang out by the dock and the kayaks, sit in the screened porch with a view of the lake or jog around the cornfield. If you want peace and quiet with a lake experience, this is the place. It's so nice here that there is no reason to leave and go to town. Just bring groceries, shut off the car on arrival and let it sit there until you leave. High ratings.

Paradise

I spent 4 full nights enjoying this magnificent cabin. The property is truly beautiful. The walking trail around the property was an added bonus that I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved spending nights by the fire taking in the stars and calls of the birds. I was also lucky enough to see the Aurora my first night there I couldn't of asked for more, it was a wonderful time.

Serene cabin location on lake

We were looking for a peaceful getaway's away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and boy, did we ever find it! This delightful cabin had it all - well equipped furnishings with comfortable beds, wifi and smart tv which we didn’t expect with the remote location, and scenic lakeside screened in porch. Waking up to a spectacular view of the lake and surrounding trees with their fall colors felt almost surreal - a little piece of paradise on earth! Looking forward to coming back again for a stay!

Peaceful cabin on the lake.

Beautiful little cabin right next to private lake. Maple syrup made right on the place. White swans on the lake along with other fowl birds. We absolutely loved the cabin. I hope to own one similar one day. Easy check thank you! in.

This cabin was exactly as described plus more. It was cozy and clean and felt larger than what it actually was due to the open space concept. The extras of this place which made it perfect for me and my husband are: 1. The lake was in a twisted 8 shape, which allowed us to kayak even on a very windy day, since there was little fetch, it also had lots of hidden pockets to explore; I went swimming and snorkeling as well, since it was so clean - lots of macrophytes, which indicates a healthy lake 2. Most of the windows in the cabin either faced east, which had a beautiful sunrise; south, which provided warmth; and west which had the beautiful sunset; and 3. The beds were even more comfortable than the one I have at home. We had a wonderful fall getaway. Thank you.

A special place

Loved having an environmental lake to ourselves! Peninsula is irregularly shaped so you can meander around in the provided kayaks to different nooks & crannies. So fun to float mellowly before sunset when birds start roosting and beaver slaps its tail… (Lake is very clean but there’s shore vegetation; we were not intrepid enough to wade in to swim, but the frogs were happy.) There’s a path for a deeper-woods hike, or walk up the road to some vistas of hay ranches. Fire pit has a nice view, and amazing night sky in the garden clearing. Also appreciated the screened-in porch, and lots of windows for natural light & fresh air – the cabin has a small-space design aesthetic with quality construction, lovely woodwork, and a charming maple syruping wall motif. It has everything you need – Janel truly wants you to feel welcome! We were glad to find this gem!!
