About this cabin rental

Enjoy this thoughtfully detailed lake cabin for your summer getaway. All the amenities of home but with the slowness and charm of the north.

Perched on the crest of a hill overlooking 8th Crow Wing Lake, the views are stunning, peaceful, and ideal for bird lovers to observe nature in action. With expansive windows in every room, you can enjoy the outdoors from the light filled comfort of indoors. Or sit on the large deck and take in the hum of motor boats, loon calls, and humming birds zooming by. You will feel refreshed as soon as you walk in the door of this well loved cabin.

The property has much to offer. With woods separating the cabin from neighbors, you will feel secluded and away from it all. A winding pebble path leads you down to the lake, where you'll find a large dock for swimming, fishing or just sitting with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. There is a public boat launch on the opposite side of the lake and guests are welcome to tie up to the dock. Back up on top of the hill, take advantage of the large fire pit and yard activities, like bag toss (games provided).

Bring your bikes and explore the Heartland trail. Our favorite tour is from Akley to Walker, it's a beautiful stretch of the trail and Walker has a downtown with lots of shops and parks that are fun to explore. Another great day trip is to start in Nevis, bike to Dorset for a treat at the Dorset House, famous for their ice cream sundays, then end back at the Iron Horse in Nevis for delicious BBQ dinner.

No matter what your pleasure, we think you'll have a great time getting to know the cabin and the area. We would love to share this special place with you.

We winterize our cabin, so it is available for booking May-October and closed November-April. The dock access is dependent on weather. It's usually in by the end of May depending on ice out, and taken out by October 1, so would not be accessible for early May or October renters.

The path to the lake is steep and may not be accessible to those with mobility limitations.

We rented the cabin for our annual ladies weekend. There was plenty of space for the four of us to relax, craft, watch movies, play card games, and cook meals together. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and we enjoyed eating out on the deck every day. The bathroom is redone beautifully and has lots of shelf space and hooks for multiple people to keep things organized. The beds were comfortable and we liked having places to hang our clothes. We were there without kids, but being moms, we all loved the cute little additions for children from the adorable loft area to the Tripp Trapp high chair to the basket of coloring books and shelf of games. The outdoors is private and beautiful. We did some photos together with the mossy steps and the trees starting to show some fall colors. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Just a beautiful place. Very modern and updated. Unique for that area. We cooked every night. Fish meals twice. I’ll be coming back.

We have stayed at this property the last few years and it never disappoints. It is quiet, clean and very comfortable.

We had a beautiful week at the cabin! Everything was clean and fresh upon arriving at the property! We were pleasantly surprised that the mosquitoes weren’t terrible this summer. We saw eagles, osprey and of course the loons!
