Detroit Lake South Shore - Sandy Beach, 2 Cabins, Slide & Fire Pit

Welcome to one of Detroit Lake's most unique waterfront getaways. Located on the highly sought-after South Shore Drive, this special property offers two traditional Minnesota log cabins, a sandy beach, firm sand lake bottom, beautiful gardens, and the perfect setting for making lifelong memories with family and friends.
Whether you're planning a family vacation, reunion, fishing trip, girls' getaway, or lake weekend with friends, this property offers the perfect combination of togetherness, privacy, recreation, and relaxation.

PRIME SOUTH SHORE LOCATION
South Shore Drive is one of the most desirable locations on Detroit Lake, known for its beautiful shoreline, easy access to the water, and close proximity to everything Detroit Lakes has to offer.

Spend your days swimming, floating, relaxing on the shoreline, or enjoying the water with family and friends. The gradual entry and firm footing make the lake especially enjoyable for guests of all ages.

LAKEFRONT FUN FOR EVERYONE
This property was made for lake days. Enjoy kayaking across Detroit Lake, swimming from the beach, relaxing by the water, or making memories on the lake slide. Whether you're looking for adventure or simply want to soak up the sunshine, there's something here for everyone.

✔ Firm sand swimming area
✔ Lake slide
✔ Complimentary kayaks
✔ Lakeside fire pit

Many guests comment on the sense of peace they feel here—a place where it's easy to slow down, relax, and reconnect.

EVENINGS TO REMEMBER
As the sun begins to set over Detroit Lake, gather around the lakeside fire pit and enjoy everything that makes Minnesota summers special.

Family Getaway

Family of 5 for a four day stay and it was everything we were looking for. Beach was perfect for swimming and lounging. Good fishing off the dock. Both cabins were very clean and had everything anybody would ever need. Host Matt was very accommodating and communication was great. Would definitely recommend if Detroit Lakes is a destination your planning on.

Labor day at DL

Wonderful, charming cabin and guest cabin. Well stocked with dishware etc, towels etc., cleaning materials etc. but few condiments. Cabin readily cools with north/south facing. Beach is fantastic. Very safe neighborhood. Matt was very responsive to our questions. We were fortunate to have absolutely fantastic weather. Bravo!

Summer Blast

This was the perfect place for our family gathering with its beautiful outdoor spaces and spacious cabins we were all able to find our own spaces to relax and recharge We enjoyed many hours talking in the fern garden and in the porch but it was the sandy beach and lake that saw most of the action. It seemed like someone was either sitting in the chaise lounges or floating in the water all the time! Oh, and those modified beach chair towels were a huge it! We all want to come back next year!

Everything we were hoping for and MORE

Seven night stay and wish it was more!!! Communication and check in great experience. Beach and swimming area perfect for our four grandchildren ages 6 to 3 as well as the six adults. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Appreciated storage building near dock. Guesthouse perfect for additional sleeping space and also well stocked. We spent many hours in porch area relaxing and enjoying the view. Neighbors were friendly. Natural property boards provided privacy and shade. Highly recommend for a true cabin experience with all the perks. Oh and the garden area was fabulous, shows this place loved by owners. Thanks Matt and Jody for a wonderful family vacation!!!
