About this cabin rental
The entire cottage is gorgeous cedar, inside and out with a new, fresh look, settled upon a nice level lot along the waters edge. This quiet lake offers a relaxing haven beckoning for fun all summer long. The waters are clean to swim, canoe or row an aluminum boat which are included for your use. There is fishing for bass, pickerel, and white perch on Duck Lake, part of the headwaters of a 30 mile long West Branch of the St. Croix River shed that includes landlocked salmon in adjoining Junior Lake. Enjoy picturesque views of Almanac, Getchell, and Bowers mountain ranges at the dock. Loons, waterfowl and wildlife abound, and at night there is the hoot of an owl and crisp, glistening skies along the campfire. Out front there is a wildflower field of butterflies, hummingbirds and flying acrobats. Should the nights get cold there is a large wood burning stove with plenty of wood on site. Leave the rat race behind, and let the healing begin! There is a deep well and pristine drinking water. Now featuring leaf peeper and hunter rates starting late September through Late October until the snow flies, the pipes freeze, and the tears turn to icicles! Phone reception iffy. and if you're looking to film moose or eagles on social media through the internet wifi fi, stick to the big apple. This special place is serene and void of modernization for a reason.

Amazing location and property, so peaceful and the lake is beautiful, so nice and warm to swim in. We loved the quiet and the serenity of the area and the no WiFi nor cell service was a blessing as we really got to connect.

The directions provided by the owner were very accurate and helpful. The lot was beautiful with a firepit and a very short walk to the dock, where clear water awaited.
I did have some issues, though, which would've been mitigated with some additional information. There is running water but the smell of sulfur was overwhelming. It was not drinkable..bring lots of water. Showers are not really able to be taken as the smell makes your eyes water.
Mice were an issue, BUT, it is a wood cabin. Keep all food secured and wash and store your dishes, as I was woken the first night by the ting ting of the mouse eating chicken alfredo from a rattling fork (while standing 2 inches from the "rodent control sound device"). That being said I moved a pillow in the couch and there was a large amount of mouse poop under there...indicating it wasnt cleaned or vacuumed.
The code for the lock worked, but I the keys or the mechanism wouldnt allow the lock device to open to give me the keys. Luckily there was someone with tools down the road to assist. The lockbox for the keys wouldnt lock when I left.
The canoe was unable to be used due to holes and the rowboat is too unwieldy and heavy for one person to get that out into the water, so one of the major reasons I booked the area, to fish using a canoe/boat, was unable to be realized.
Overall, the place would've been better had the listing been a bit more forthcoming with the information presented BUT was a beatiful place.
