Peaceful, Lake View Cabin

A beautiful cabin in a country setting, with an outdoor stair case to the lower level for access to water for fishing and use of rowboat/kayaks/canoe or trails.
The cabin has beds that sleep up to 8 people, with a couch and plenty of floor or deck space for sleeping bags. It has 1 master BR, 1 bath and a large loft. Cabin has hard wood floors, tile shower, jetted tub, with all newer appliances/washer dryer and fully stocked kitchen. Also has an outdoor fire pit, LP grill, and picnic tables, and firewood available for $7 a bundle.There are 2 state parks within 40 minutes and Volga Lake recreational area is about 10 miles away.

The cabin is secluded, but there is a campground connected to the property that is mainly used on the weekends except during peak travel times. So, if you have friends with campers or Rv's, invite them along. There are kayaks, canoe and a rowboat to use for free with Life jackets provided. Unfortunately, no swimming is allowed in the lake due to insurance reasons, and the fishing is catch and release with the use of artificial bait, which helps ensure safe release of fish. There is also a 25$ per pet fee and a liability waver for all guests to sign.
Please bring your own heavy blankets if needed, light blankets are provided.


I'm usually available by phone, but guests should be prepared to do a self check in and complete check in without my assistance. It's located in the country, on a gravel road, 2 miles from a really cool small town of Wadena.
You WILL see local wildlife and bugs.
If you want a fun unique quiet place to stay, please make a reservation and make yourself at home.
Please also be prepared to complete your stay with minimal assistance from the host. If you need anything, TEXT me. :)

Peaceful, clean and welcoming!

Perfect cabin for a weekend stay or week long stay! All the amenities for a quiet stay & away from every day technology. Within 15-20 minutes to small, quaint towns including grocery, restaurants and small town shopping. Communication with host was convenient and very responsive. Thank you, we’ll be sure to recommend and be back!

A Wonderful Cozy Cabin

This cabin was a beautiful little place out in the country, away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It made for a great chance for my family and I to get away from everyday life and just relax. Having access to the water made for some great memories for my niece. And my parents also especially enjoyed having such a nice sized deck/porch to laze around on. The owner was very polite and answered all my questions. Would absolutely stay here again!

Quiet peaceful cabin

Our family of five chose this cabin for a short getaway. We all had a wonderful time , the lake is beautiful and quiet. We especially enjoyed kayaking, canoeing and paddle boating. Andy met us there when we arrived and was super easy to communicate with. The cabin had everything our family needed. Inside there are plenty of games, the kitchen had what we needed to eat in, the grill was great, there were plenty of towels and toiletries. We set up chairs around the fire pit and enjoyed sitting out there at night listening to the sounds of nature. This is a wonderful cabin and we’d highly recommend it. Planning to return.

Another amazing stay at this great cabin!

Another amazing stay at this great cabin! My wife and I stayed here for the second time recently and just had a great time. The cabin is very, very clean, with great amenities, a beautiful pond just outback, and just extremely serene and calm. Andy is great, very kind and very good to work with. He even brought us some fresh sweet corn one night which was delicious! We will definitely be back again for our third visit, hopefully sometime this fall when the trees are turning colors and the temperatures are going down. Highly recommend it!

This property was a great location for myself and my extended family to stay. The fishing in the pond kept the teens busy while the adults could oversee them from the deck with drinks in hand.

Wish we could’ve stayed longer…

This was an amazing trip, and the property was exactly as described. The cabin has a very cool wrap around porch. Andy was super nice and accommodating while 100% non-invasive. We used the canoe and caught a few fish. It was a short drive to WI where we were able to do some more fishing at Bloody Run. Beautiful scenery everywhere in this part of the state. We even brought a tv because there isn’t one at the cabin (while we were there, which was clear in the description), and didn’t even bring it inside. We’ll definitely be back!

Family weekend to unplug

This cabin was just right for our family of five. It was clean, had everything we needed, and gave us enough room to gather for a board game or for each of us to sit and read a book. We had a nice view of the snow and ice covered lake and surrounding nature. Nice and peaceful setting.

Second stay & we will visit again

This was my family’s second stay at this cabin. We love that it is on a private pond/lake, it’s quiet and relaxing. The kayaks are right there to use freely any time and my boys enjoy the catch & release fishing too. The cabin isn’t too far from Backbone State Park & Volga Lake. These are great places to hike and fish. Check-in was easy and Andy was readily available to answer any questions. He even took a couple of our suggestions we gave after our stay last year, and incorporated them into the property. The beds were comfy enough and the cabin was just right for our family of four. The only thing I didn’t much care for was the few people on golf carts who cut through our drive to get to the campgrounds beyond the lake. Otherwise we never heard the campers or saw them. We actually kind of liked that we were completely isolated. We look forward to our next stay!

Great getaway!

We had a geat time at this cabin! It was a perfect place to relax and unwind. It was extremely hot during our stay but the cabin was comfortably cool and there was a nice breeze out on the lake as well as on the deck. We rented the paddleboat for our stay and I'm so glad we did our dog loved being out on the water in it! There were plenty of boats and my son's both really enjoyed the kayaks, my younger son even caught several fish. All in all it's a great place to stay if you are looking for a quiet, laid-back place to get away!!
