Looking for an authentic cabin getaway? Lazy Pines is the place! This classic Minnesota cabin was fully renovated in fall 2014 with modern amenities, while retaining a true cabin atmosphere.

Lower level: the walkout basement includes 2 additional bedrooms - the first has a queen-sized bed, and the second is a dedicated bunk-room. Additionally, there is an informal bunk area with a full-size lower bunk/single upper bunk. The lower-level bathroom has beautiful upgraded finishes, including a custom tile shower with river-rock flooring. The living area includes a built-in game/puzzle table, and a cozy sectional/entertainment area—perfect for rainy days or movie nights. The lower level also offers great lake views and easy access to a large lakeside firepit just steps from the water (firewood included).

Surrounded by mature pines with about 5 miles of shoreline, including state-owned undeveloped frontage. Summer activities: fishing, skiing, wakeboarding, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and a popular sandbar gathering spot. Quiet tar township road ideal for walks or bike rides.
