About this apartment rental
This one of a kind, small space is tucked away in the northwoods of Minnesota on the shores of pristine Riley Lake and perfectly situated on the western edge of the Iron Range in Itasca County - Land of One Thousand Lakes!
Enjoy quiet time on the lake from the beautiful new patio. Amazing Bass Fishing on Riley lake from our complementary Canoe or cleansing in our custom woodfire Sauna.
The Wonderhut is conveniently located just a short drive from many amazing local destinations.
You will enter the space into the entry bathing space on the main floor, we provide screens for additional privacy if needed. The toilet is tucked away in it`s own small room off of the bathing space.
The upper floor is accessible via an open, steep metal staircase. This area is an open studio space with queen bed and futon sofa. There is a small kitchenette which includes a microwave & a convection oven, conduction hotplate, full sized fridge, coffee maker and small dining area or enjoy the outdoor, screened porch for lounging and dining.
The woodfire sauna is across the drive and up the hill from the Wonderhut and is shared with the residents of the other cabin on the property. (It is near the other house but absolutely available for the enjoyment of our guests)
The lakefront is across the yard, past the main house and is shared with the residents of the other cabin on the property and includes a dock and gradual sandy/rocky bottom and is good for boating, paddling and swimming.
We hope that you love our unique space as much as we do. It is the perfect spot to really get away and enjoy the peacefulness of the northwoods!
The Wonderhut Carriage house and adjacent patio are available for your exclusive use - you will access your space via a keypad lock at the front door. Please note that the garage will not be available for guest use.
Please let me know if there is anything that will make your stay better. It is my goal that this space be an escape and retreat for you however I am available at all times for emergencies and during standard hours to answer and resolve any non-emergency issues.
It is extremely helpful to have good contact information available for a member of your party in the event I need to contact you to resolve issues or provide information. If we need to stop by for any reason I will do my best to contact you ahead of time but we will keep any disruptions to an absolute minimum.

Our second time coming and it was absolutely amazing! Check in was simple and the hosts are the best! The sauna was a perfect way to wind down after kayaking the 3 lakes chained together. Such a sweet little carriage house! Especially coffee and breakfast on the upstairs screened porch. Beautiful place. So serene and hidden. Cant wait to come back again!!

The property is as advertised in a secluded part of lake country. The house is unique and fosters excellent time spent with family but the opportunty for beautiful escapes on foot or bike is abound. With direct lake access and a wood fired sauna, the opportunity to sink into solitude is readily available, while access to a public beach, biking and hiking trails, and a 25 min drive to civilization in Grand Rapids, this location was perfect for our family to disconnect for a few days and spend quality time.together. Thanks Maria!

Cute & cozy!

The property was beautiful and exactly what we were hoping for. The lake was extremely quiet, even on a hot weekend and you wouldn't even know anyone else was around the property the entire time. Very enjoyable experience and we're already contemplating when we can make a return trip.
