About this property

Architect Designed, Waterfront, One Bedroom Cabin Suite

This beautiful, one bedroom plus, cabin suite on the water has everything a couple could want in a newly built comfortable getaway. This charming home has a wood burning fireplace, built in sound system, flat screen TV, granite counter tops and Old Hickory Club furniture. It is air conditioned and has in floor heat for year around comfort. It also is designed with additional in wall sleeping (Murphy bed) accommodations for the occasional guest. The great room with 12 foot tall ceilings is enhanced by professionally decorated interiors with a bold use of timber posts, beams, color and antlers.

This pet free home has a fully equipped custom kitchen with stainless steel appliances, full sized laundry facilities and dishwasher. Spans of waterfront glass and a large sun deck insure great views from every room. It is also located only seven minutes from the club house of the spectacular Deacon’s Lodge Golf Course in the Brainerd Lakes Area. It is difficult to say what is more captivating, the lake views from the house with a pair of nesting swans or the high end interiors that make the house so inviting. Outside you will enjoy a panoramic view of Shaffer Lake from a large deck perched atop a wooded hill. The lake is designated a natural environment lake meaning that the shore
Around it cannot be developed into beach. It must remain wild to provide habitat for area’s abundant wild life.

A five minute drive from this home will take you to some of the finest beaches in Minnesota, on Pelican, Whitefish and Gull lakes. With binoculars, you can peer across Shaffer Lake to see the activity on the second hole of Deacon’s, proclaimed to be Arnold Palmer’s finest design and Minnesota’s number one public golf course by “Golf Week Magazine”. You will also save money when you purchase a seasonal membership at Deacon’s.

It is interesting to note that prior to its listing on VRBO, this home was managed and marketed by Grandview Lodge who managed Deacon’s Lodge Golf Course. Grandview rented this home as a one bedroom cabin suite.

Most hotels offer 250 square foot rooms. This home provides 1,000 square feet of comfort!

It was perfect for a much needed "sister getaway" weekend. Host did a good job of keeping us informed of policies and procedures and was in contact when needed. The deck overlooking the lake was awesome. Heard the loons every morning and watched the swans every day. The hide-a-bed had a super comfortable mattress. We were hoping to make a fire in the fire pit outside and/or the fireplace inside but never did - just ran out of time. Would love to come again and stay at least one more full day! Maybe this will be our annual sister weekend getaway ...

The only complaint I would have, is that there were not cushions for the outdoor furniture, which was made of wrought iron. The weather was nice, so it would have been nice to have a comfortable spot to sit outside.

weekend getaway

This cabin was a great choice for my daughter and I. We were there on a very hot long weekend but the A/C kept us cool when we weren't enjoying the deck and the lake view. The kitchen was great but a little sparse on utensils but adequate for our needs. We chose to use the murphy bed as well as the main bedroom for separate sleeping spaces and the murphy bed was very comfortable and easy to use. We had a little issue with the lock situation but the manager we called was very accessible and helped us with this minor glitch. I would definitely rent this space again. .

Perfect Hideaway

Great property, well maintained and secluded!! It was like staying in a treehouse. Just a little hiccup getting in as we had the wrong electronic for code which the owner rectified. We were NOT ready to leave when our rental was up. Four days of seclusion went by too quickly. This cabin has everything you need! Would definitely stay again, even in winter!

RENTERS BEWARE!!!

If you rent this property, take the time when you arrive to check every inch of the house and document what you find. We happened to be the unlucky ones who were accused of property damage from previous guests that was overlooked by the cleaning company who reports to the owner after the guests depart. Being accused and verbally attacked by this owner was not a great way to end a perfect weekend in Northern Minnesota. There are other wonderful vrbo’s in the area to rent!

This was the third time Allan and Mary Glad rented my cabin. There was no problem on the first two visits; however, this time the husband and wife who clean my cabin reported damage to the kitchen granite countertop and damage to the Hunter Douglas blinds. I don 't understand why the guest called it a cleaning company as I explained to them the the only people who clean my cabin are the husband and wife. They know how they leave the cabin and reported damage after the guests checked out this time. This was not damage from a previous guests as they knew how they left the cabin. I have already contacted Dave at Brechace Stone, Inc. who installed the granite and they will be making the repairs. I have also contacted Tate who installed the Hunter Douglas blinds and he will be making the repairs to the blinds. I am very proud of the reviews I have received from guests and am pleased that the majority of my guests return for a second or third time. They absolutely love my cabin. They guests who rented it on October 4th, 5th and 6th. sent me this note when they checked. "Hi. Just wanted to let you know we made it and your place is GORGEOUS! WOW! Thank you for sharing it with us. Have fun on your trip and know we will take care of it and treat to as if it was our own." I have never verbally attacked anyone, I simply explained that the damage was reported and will have to be repaired.

Beautiful cabin on busy road

Very nice cabin in a great location near Breezy Point, Cross Lake and Nisswa. Unfortunately it’s on a very busy road with noise heard on deck and inside. It wasn’t clear that there wasn’t access to the lake but sitting on the deck was very nice. Charcoal vs gas grill was a disappointment. I had problems communicating with the owner via the app but her son stepped in to help. Then we had problems getting into the cabin but resolved fairly quickly by the son. We enjoyed our stay but for the price it should have been smoother.

Beautiful area.

We checked in after 4:30 as instructed by host. The problem was no one cleaned up after the last guest. Called the host and she would call us back. We have not heard from her. We are at home now. Very disappointed we had to strip the bed, take out the garbage, remove dirty towels and linens. Do the dishes. There was no toilet paper in the house so we had to go to the store before we could settle in.

Dorinda, I am so very sorry this happened on your Anniversary stay. Unfortunately, a return guest who do not sign a lease agreement went to the cabin without my knowing; therefore I had no idea housekeeping should clean before your arrival. I have changed the code for entry into the cabin so that this does not happen in the future. Florence Baskfield

Wonderful mid-winter stay

I am always very careful in my lodging selections and did my research very carefully. We've been to the area a few times before (Brainerd & area) and I had a pretty good idea where we wanted to stay but there is so many places to choose from. We just wanted a nice quiet place to get away from work mid-January. According to the information on line, this one bedroom cabin would be perfect. Everything met our expectations and we were very happy with our stay. If I had to find a small suggestion for improvement, I would question why there were no clothes hangers at all. Otherwise, it seemed everything we could possible need was provided and the cabin was very comfortable. I'm not the kind of person who wants to go back to the same place over and over because I'm always looking for somewhere new to explore but I would glowingly recommend this rental to my friends and acquaintances.

Ken and Jude, I am so pleased you enjoyed the weekend at Deacon's Way, Cabin 813. There should have been clothes hangers in both the entrance closet and bedroom closet. I can not imagine what happen to them or how they disappeared. I will be sure to have them replaced immediately. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am pleased that guests enjoy their weekends and weeks at Cabin 813. The majority of our guests make return visits and some return every year.

Never got to stay - owner rented out and hasn’t refunded money

I am so disappointed, we rented this cabin on short notice for our 25th anniversary. When I return the signed contract (and had also paid), I received a note saying the cabin was already rented and to select other dates. I asked for clarification as that seemed odd and never heard back from owner. Phone number listed does not work. I wrote again asking for clarification and to please cancel and refund my money so I could make another reservation and I never heard from owner again. VRBO has said they are working on it but I’ve heard nothing back. This cabin sounded lovely, but we never got to find out. I feel like we got taken….
