About this cabin rental

Escape to Your Private Lakeside Wilderness Retreat

Imagine unwinding on your own 120 acres of secluded woodland, with an incredible 1500 feet of pristine, native lake shoreline entirely at your disposal. At our unique hideaway, one of the lake's original cabins, you can truly get away from it all and immerse yourself in nature. Situated just 30 feet from the water's edge, you'll feel like you're practically sleeping on the lake!

While offering a tranquil and private escape, please note that our cabin provides primitive amenities for a true off-grid experience. If your ideal vacation includes words like "glamping," "secluded," "get-away-from-it-all," "quiet," and "private," then this could be the perfect retreat for you.

Cozy Cabin Features:

Sleeping Loft: Two twin XL beds (can be combined into a king).
Downstairs: Comfortable sectional couch with an ottoman that converts to a cot.
Basic Kitchenette: Microwave and refrigerator (please note: no running water in the kitchenette).
Primitive Bathroom: An outhouse is provided for bathroom facilities.
Relaxation: Enjoy a traditional wood-fired sauna after your adventures.
Outdoor Oasis (Summer Months): A unique deck with a hot tub and solar shower awaits you.
Entertainment: Big-screen TV, cable, and high-speed internet are available for your convenience.

Explore Your Private Paradise:

Water Adventures: Take advantage of our two kayaks and a paddleboard to explore the tranquil lake. Enjoy easy access to the water from our floating dock.
On-Land Exploration: Discover the trails throughout the 120-acre property at your leisure.
Nearby Thrills: For UTV and snowmobile enthusiasts, find endless routes on over 500 miles of local trails.
Nature Lovers' Paradise: We are conveniently located less than 10 miles from the North Country National Scenic Trailhead on Hwy 113 and approximately a 30-minute drive from both Itasca State Park and Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge.

Important Notes for Your Stay:

Remote Location: The cabin is about a 1/4 mile drive from the main road, with the final 500 feet involving a steep incline. Guests with rear-wheel drive should strongly consider parking at the top of the hill and walking down to the shoreline.
Primitive Living: Please be aware that this is a primitive cabin. You will need to bring your own drinking water.
Cooking: An electric pellet grill is provided for your outdoor cooking needs.
What to Bring: Unless otherwise arranged, you will need to bring your own bedding and linens.
Guest Responsibility: To waive all cleaning fees, we kindly ask that you leave the cabin clean and ready for the next guest. This includes removing all garbage (please pack out your garbage).

Embrace the peace and solitude of our lakeside retreat! Book your unforgettable escape today.

This property was absolutely amazing! My boyfriend and I were looking for a cozy fall getaway, and this cabin was exactly what we needed. Between the hot tub and the sauna, we stayed warm while enjoying the cool, crisp autumn air. One of our favorite moments was stargazing right from the hot tub — it was magical. We did notice that the jets turned off after a while and didn’t come back on, which might be a small malfunction, but it didn’t take away from the experience.Listening to the swans flap their wings and call out over the water was truly breathtaking. The cabin itself was perfect for taking in the view. We loved the setup — especially pulling the mattress down from the loft so we could relax and watch TV before bed. The Fire Stick made it so convenient to log into our streaming services.One tip for future guests: I’d recommend bringing a pair of “indoor” shoes, as there were quite a few Asian beetles that made their way inside. A few even crawled on me while I was sleeping!Reading the guest book and seeing stories from previous stays was heartwarming and made us even more excited to return. Thank you for sharing such a special space with us!

This was our 3rd stay at the Hilton Tilton. First stay though in several years. Several upgrades had been made and the place keeps getting better. Caught several walleyes and Northerns off the dock. Really enjoyed the kayak and used the paddle boat. Fired up the wood fired sauna several times for a good sweat and at night we relaxed in the hot tub. Outhouse was very clean and did not detect any bad odors. Weather was perfect for our stay. Check in and out was very smooth. We will be back for a 4th time in the future. Great location and great lake for activities.
