About this cabin rental
Welcome to Ideal Landing – Your Perfect Year-Round Northwoods Retreat on Kimble Lake. Escape to cozy fall colors, peaceful snow-covered winters, and crisp early-spring mornings at this family-friendly lakeside cabin in the heart of Minnesota’s lake country.
Breathe in the fresh northern air and take in panoramic lake views from every corner of this spacious, family-friendly cabin. With 200 feet of private shoreline, a gentle sandy beach, and a 22' Bennington pontoon available for rent, Ideal Landing is your dream getaway for summer fun, cozy fall weekends, or wintery lake views.
Step inside to a warm and inviting open-concept main level with a fully stocked kitchen, generous dining space, and a relaxing living room anchored by a stunning two-story stone wood-burning fireplace—perfect for toasty winter nights or crisp autumn mornings with coffee in hand. You’ll also find a main-level bedroom with a comfortable queen-size bed. Upstairs, an oversized loft offers sweeping lake views year-round, from brilliant fall foliage to peaceful frozen-lake scenes. Cozy up in the plush king bed or curl up in the reading nook after a day of snowshoeing or sledding. There are two futons—perfect for additional sleeping space or lounging. With plenty of storage and room to spread out, it’s an ideal spot for relaxing or sleeping. The lower level features a bunk room with twin beds, another queen-sized bed, second full bath, full laundry, and a comfy family room with a gas fireplace—ideal for movie nights or a kid-friendly retreat.
Outside, the lakeside experience is unbeatable. Your stay includes two private docks, two firepits with plenty of cut wood (including one just steps from the water), and a paved driveway that’s perfect for kids to bike and play or perfect their artwork with sidewalk chalk. Enjoy endless activities with 2 stand-up paddleboards, a canoe, a kayak, and a paddleboat—all available for your use. Beach toys, a hammock, and ample yard games like bean bag toss are all available for your enjoyment, making it easy to relax and have fun right on the property. When the snow falls, the fun continues—build snowmen on the lawn, roast marshmallows over the lakeside firepit, or stargaze under a clear winter sky. The property’s flat yard and paved driveway make it easy for kids to sled or play safely.
For guests looking to explore the lake in style, we also offer a pontoon boat —perfect for cruising, fishing, or anchoring at the nearby sandbar for a day of fun in the sun. Inquire for details.
Guests can also explore the connecting lake channels right from our shoreline — paddle your way to Ossawinnamakee or Bass Lake using one of our kayaks, canoes, or paddleboats. The calm channels are perfect for families and young adventurers. Keep an eye out for hidden “gold rocks” along the way and the larger-than-life wildlife sculptures tucked among the trees — it’s a truly magical experience the kids won’t forget!
Kimble Lake is a 197-acre spring-fed lake known for its exceptional clarity and peaceful atmosphere. There’s a beautiful sandbar straight out from our property, perfect for anchoring, swimming, and relaxing in the shallows. Some natural aquatic plants near the shoreline are DNR protected, helping preserve the pristine environment.
As night falls, gather around the firepit for stories under the stars, or simply look up—our north-facing shoreline often rewards guests with glimpses of the Northern Lights when conditions are right. On crisp winter nights, the frozen lake sparkles beneath the moonlight for an unforgettable Minnesota experience.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
The property was beautiful and worked perfectly for our group. It had a nice sized kitchen and multiple bathrooms which is helpful for a larger group. There’s also a dock where we were able to catch fish. There were a lot of amenities (paddle boards, kayaks, etc.) included which was a great bonus. The host was quick to respond to any questions we had. We had a great time and I highly recommend this property.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
It was a decent place with a good view. Our family had a good time with the kayaks, fishing and having bonfires by the water.There are some maintenance items we felt need to be addressed such as: the leaking from one of the patio doors when it rains, the stairs going down to the lake appeared to be out of code as the rise was only a couple of inches on a couple sets of steps and they sloped. One or two cushions for the patio set need to be replaced, the 2 futon beds upstairs were very uncomfortable, and the couches felt worn out the way you sunk down in them.For the money it cost to stay there we expected to have the supplies we needed for our entire stay, we didn't expect we'd have to go to the store for paper towels because we were only left part of one roll, toilet paper because there were only a couple of rolls left for 10 people for 5 days and minimal pods to do any wash.All in all we did have a good time but, felt it needs some maintenance and upkeeping.

We had the best stay at this beautiful cabin for our girls weekend! The lake views were absolutely stunning, and waking up to the peaceful scenery each morning was one of our favorite parts of the trip. The cabin was the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and make memories together.Jesse was a fantastic host and great communicator throughout our stay. He was responsive, helpful, and shared excellent recommendations for the area that we enjoyed exploring. The cabin had everything we needed and was the perfect setting for a fun and relaxing getaway. We loved our time here and would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a special lake retreat!
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Great place to stay. Although it was just the two of us it would be a great place for families. Lots of toys and the scenery was great, Jesse was a great host and was always available if we needed anything. Would highly recommend.
