The lake property is perfect for family get togethers. Lots of space for meals, sleep and activities. If you bring a boat, there is a private dock across the street and a beautiful lake for cruising and swimming. Travis is a great host and has equipped the home with everything a group could need.

Perfect Stay on Lake Shamineau

We had an excellent stay at Travis' place on Lake Shamineau! Check-in was easy, the cabin was very clean and had everything we needed (and more). The cabin is right on the water. Lake Shamineau is a beautiful lake in Northern Minnesota. We will be back again!

Outstanding Experience!

Property layout was great! The home was well furnished with all amenities we needed. Everything was so nice! Easy access to boat launch (very close to lake home). Garage was a very nice feature, we were able to put our fishing boat in the garage at night which was great! Would highly recomend this rental.

Great Vacation!

We loved this property! Everything was very clean, the beds were comfortable (they even had many pillow choices), the kitchen had everything we needed for a weekend stay. We had rain a couple of nights we were there and kids stayed entertained with all the indoor games/toys and we were able to hang out in the garage too! The only downside was having to cross the road to go to the lake. The road was not busy but it was hard with our 4 year olds. Overall experience was great and we would definitely stay here again!! Travis the property owner was very responsive and accommodating.
