About this cabin rental

Are you ready for a digital detox? Our beloved family cabin is the perfect place to connect with nature and loved ones, with none of the usual day to day distractions. Rustic and quaint, Camp Corder can best be thought of as upscale Minnesota Glamping.
Drive in on the scenic byway HWY 38, especially fantastic for viewing Minnesota’s fall colors. You’ll turn off on to a quiet dirt road where the abundant forest canopy creates almost a tunnel like feel and for nearly a mile, and passing another car or encountering another person is a rare occurrence. It’s clear before you even arrive at Camp Corder that you’ve left the chaos of life behind in favor of tranquility and simplicity.
Once you do arrive, you’ll find the cabin in keeping with the tone of the forest and perfectly suited to it’s environment. Many of the original 1960's finishes have been complimented by vintage decor to keep the classic MN Up North getaway vibe. The main cabin has two bedrooms (one queen and one with a full sized bunk bed), a handmade wood burning fireplace, and fully equipped kitchen (no hot water). When the need arises, our outhouse is the most comfortable outdoor restroom you'll ever visit- with running water and a heated and private outdoor shower.
Camp Corder is great for unplugging- no wifi, no telephone, no TVs. You’ll have cell phone service, which we generally only use to play our summer fun playlist via Bluetooth speaker.
The deck overlooks the stunning and quiet Grave Lake, where hummingbirds and wildlife love to visit. Our lakeshore is equipped with a small beach, a dock with bench for fishing or relaxing and plenty of toys for playing on the lake (kayaks, SUP, floats, etc). The public lake access is right next door, bring your boat to enjoy on our 525 acre lake! Cook your meals over the fire or on our charcoal grill and dine al fresco on the deck. As the stars come out over the lake and the loons call into the evening, the fire pit with it's comfortable camp chairs beckons you- don't forget the ingredients for s'mores, we've got the roasting sticks all ready for you! If the weather chooses not to cooperate, you can always find shelter from rain from the covered porch on our adjacent garage/bunkhouse (interior of bunkhouse not included in rental).
Camp Corder is nestled within the Chippewa National Forest, surrounded by more than a million acres of spectacular forest, with 1300 lakes, 923 miles of rivers and streams- all directly accessible from the cabin. Step out for a hike or hop on your ATV and explore hidden lakes and trails.
Grand Rapids is about 25min from Camp Corder and has every amenity you could need as well as a great farmers market, a museum and ATV/Jet Ski rentals. Closer to home, the small town of Marcell is about 10 miles away and has a general store with all the necessities and restaurant options- all accessible via ATV, if you’d prefer!
Camp Corder is a cherished family heirloom, built by hand in 1960 by my grandfather, Floyd Bergstrom. For 3 generations now, my family has found connection and peace among these trees- sharing our love for the great outdoors with our children, family and friends. We’d love to share the magic of a classic MN cabin weekend with you and yours as well!

As you get closer to the cabin the forest gets more dense.Look up at the lush canopy that surrounds you.Suddenly it’s quiet and the noise of the outside world is gone.The cabin has a short steep driveway off a quiet dirt road.It feels very private.The large fire pit(great for fire cooking)is surrounded by tall trees & moss covered ground.Bring your phone and go on a mushroom hunt around the property.The bathroom is the fanciest outhouse you will find. It has running water spacious &chandelier lighting.The outdoor shower is an experience that has to be felt not described.Turn off all lights and shower under the stars and moon at night.Inside the cabin the beds are comfortable. Sleep with the windows open so the loons and owls can sing you to sleep. A large fire place and the charm of the rustic decor beckon a romantic evening.The deck off the back of the cabin feels like a tree house nestled in tall towering trees the birds & squirrels are at your finger tips.Throw an air mattress out there and sleep under the stars & trees.The lake is down a path yes you will have to hike it back up.Its your excuse to eat more s’mores.The beach has tubes a large floating mat paddle&row boat kayaks paddle board etc.Fish are abundant! Fish at night off the dock is magical.Also star gazing off the dock.Its lovely here and a great way to refresh and ground your self. We hope to return again Thank you hosts for sharing your piece of heaven with us

We had a wonderful family vacation. Relaxing, unplugging, fishing, hiking, and enjoying nature. This property really helps you to do that!! We loved the vintage feel of the cabin, it was just like stepping back in time. The lake is just a short walk down the hill, and they provide plenty of items to enjoy the water (kayaks, row boat, floating mat, tubes, life jackets, etc.), plus there is LOTS of wildlife to watch, and a great view of the stars at night. The outhouse is actually very nice, it doesn't feel like a typical outhouse, and the outdoor shower is great! (minus the mosquitos) The cabin is located near plenty of other fantastic lakes and hiking trails. Bring plenty of bug spray, and you are sure to have a great time!!

We loved our stay. Peaceful, quiet get-away. The hosts were extremely responsive to any concerns. We had a bit of trouble learning how to adjust the shower, but the outdoor shower was fun. Cleanest biffy I've ever seen. Would highly recommend.
