About this property
'Up North' vacation cabin on Mule Lake that Won't Disappoint
Nestled on the serene shores of Mule Lake, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and abundant fish, stands a charming cabin beckoning to those seeking a slice of lakeside paradise. This five-bedroom abode boasts all the comforts of home and then some.
Step inside to find a fully stocked kitchen, ready to facilitate culinary adventures or simple lakeside meals. With ample space for gathering, the kitchen transitions seamlessly into a cozy living area, perfect for unwinding after a day of fishing, swimming, or exploring.
But perhaps the true gem of this lakeside retreat lies outdoors. A sprawling deck offers panoramic views of the tranquil waters, inviting guests to bask in the warmth of the sun or sip morning coffee to the gentle lull of the lake breeze. As the day wanes, the deck transforms into an idyllic spot for evening relaxation, with ample seating for stargazing or swapping stories under the twilight sky.
The expansive yard is a playground for both young and old, featuring a swing set for the kids and plenty of space for outdoor games. And no lakeside retreat would be complete without a firepit, where marshmallows roast to golden perfection and tales are spun into the night against a backdrop of twinkling stars.
Descend the steps to the lake (36 to be exact) and behold the inviting waters of the lake; whether you seek the exhilaration of a brisk swim or the simple pleasure of floating lazily on the surface, this swimming area offers a sanctuary where time seems to stand still.
Whether it's casting a line into the pristine waters, lounging on the dock with a good book, taking a refreshing dip in the lake, or gathering around the firepit for s'mores and storytelling, this cabin retreat on Mule Lake offers an unforgettable escape into the heart of nature's beauty.

Linda was a super host. She was very responsive, friendly and flexible as she went out of her way to accommodate our needs for our stay at her property on Mule Lake. The house is beautiful, very well equipped, and it was spotlessly clean upon our arrival. The entire property was perfect for our stay and family gathering. Although we were there in early May and the water was too cold to swim, the lake is beautiful, the view from the dock was wonderful and the swim area looked sandy and inviting. I highly recommend this excellent property and we look forward to staying here again.
Such a cozy cabin and getaway with friends and family, my family and friends had a great time staying here. The host was super kind and helpful when we had any questions and concerns.
This home is very comfortable and carefully equipped with everything needed in the kitchen and laundry areas. The furniture and decor are carefully selected for a relaxing time. We make use of the puzzle board and games. The yard and fire pit are well maintained and the lake is a favorite.
Our family had a great time relaxing, playing games and fishing and enjoyed much-needed time up north. This was our third week on Mule Lake in this home and again we truly enjoyed the amenities of the home, the privacy the property affords, and the recreation of the lake. We are looking forward to future summer weeks back on Mule Lake!
Very relaxing and accommodating cabin. We had two families a total of 10 of us and very comfortable in there. They offer some very nice games and the kitchen is very well stocked. Linda was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. They were very easy to work with. Mule Lake offer some great fishing and some beautiful scenery.
We very much enjoyed our stay and everything about the experience was top notch. Linda was great to work with and very accommodating. The cabin and property were very clean and offered plenty of space for our family. The rental pontoon was very nice and fishing was good!
The lake home is beautiful and roomy, and the location on Mule Lake is great! Our grandchildren, ages 1-6, had plenty of room to play, both inside and outside, and we like the level fire pit area. Fishing was good, too. We plan to return.
This home is perfect for our family gathering. It is very well maintained and the owners are most accommodating. The lake is clear, great for fishing, swimming, boating and not crowded. We will be back for another year
My family & I had a wonderful time. We caught lots of fish, the boys did some wake boarding. The lake is just big enough for doing these things. Overall we had a great time being with the family.
We had a group of 10 total including 2 children, and there was more than enough room in this cabin! 5 bedrooms were perfect for our group. We all thought the cabin was even more beautiful than the pictures! The owner was very good at communication beforehand and even during our stay. We all agreed that we would stay at this rental again!
We totally enjoyed the hospitality offered by these owners! A welcome note for our family along with chocolate bars and a bottle of bubbly!
Wonderful accommodations with all the appliances and comforts needed or wanted! Everyone loved the pontoon rides and great fishing. We'll be back!
This house was wonderful. We spent a weekend away with friends, including many young children. The house is well set up for kids with plenty of bedrooms, nice beds, and lots of outdoor area to run around. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. Would definitely go again!
We had a great week with our kids & grandkids! The grands enjoyed the swingset & fishing off the dock. Bluegills were plentiful, & crappie & bass fishing were good from the boat & pontoon. We like the large dining room table & the nice kitchen with all the amenities. The porch/sunroom is great for playing boisterous games, & the fire pit area is level & away from the house. Linda is easy to reach & very accommodating. This was our 4th time at this property, & we plan to be back.
Our stay at this beautiful, spacious Mule Lake cabin was better than we expected! The cabin was impeccably clean and the beds were some of the most comfortable we have ever slept in! The bathrooms were absolutely beautiful, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook all our meals! Our host was excellent, readily available for questions and provided a beautiful stay for our up-north vacation. We felt so welcome and comfortable here, so much so that we didn't want to leave!
Family friendly cabin on beautiful large lake lot!
The cabin was exactly as we expected it to be, beautiful! We had plenty of room for 9 adults and 2 children. The view from the master bedroom is stunning! The kitchen was well equipped to handle everything from a pancake breakfast to a chili cookoff. It would be fun to go in the summer so we could enjoy the lake!
The house was great. The kitchen had anything you could possibly need. It was super clean and well cared for. Mule lake is a good fishing lake which made everyone happy. The only negative were the steps to the lake. The view from house was beautiful.

About the host
Hosted by Linda Steffen, Licensed MN Real Estate Broker
Russ and I call Brainerd our home, but our true love is heading to the Longville Mule Lake Cabin. Our worries and stress melt away as we take the scenic hour drive north on the winding road between the lakes and through the pines to Longville . We cherish the time spent with family and friends at the cabin on Mule Lake.
Why they chose this property
As a lifelong resident of Brainerd, known as the heart of lakes area, I discovered a whole new love for lake country when we purchased our Mule Lake cabin in Longville in 2011. The tranquility of Mule Lake, known for its' clarity and the thousands of feet of state-owned shoreline, is ideal for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and boating. Huge white pines line the lakeshore and attract many eagles and loons. We enjoy the small community and the many popular year round events that it hosts.
What makes this property unique
Surrounded by lakes and forest, Longville has been a popular vacation destination for many years. Located in North Central Minnesota, the area provides some of the best fishing, boating, water sports, hiking and biking in the summer and fall. The famous Longville Turtle Races have been enjoyed by all ages for many years. Every Wednesday afternoon from June through August, streams of cars descend on the little town of Longville on the shores of Girl Lake. Family-friendly activities are happening all year round in Longville.
