Peaceful, Lake View Cabin

A beautiful cabin in a country setting, with an outdoor stair case to the lower level for access to water for fishing and use of rowboat/kayaks/canoe or trails.
The cabin has beds that sleep up to 8 people, with a couch and plenty of floor or deck space for sleeping bags. It has 1 master BR, 1 bath and a large loft. Cabin has hard wood floors, tile shower, jetted tub, with all newer appliances/washer dryer and fully stocked kitchen. Also has an outdoor fire pit, LP grill, and picnic tables, and firewood available for $7 a bundle.There are 2 state parks within 40 minutes and Volga Lake recreational area is about 10 miles away.

The cabin is secluded, but there is a campground connected to the property that is mainly used on the weekends except during peak travel times. So, if you have friends with campers or Rv's, invite them along. There are kayaks, canoe and a rowboat to use for free with Life jackets provided. Unfortunately, no swimming is allowed in the lake due to insurance reasons, and the fishing is catch and release with the use of artificial bait, which helps ensure safe release of fish. There is also a 25$ per pet fee and a liability waver for all guests to sign.
Please bring your own heavy blankets if needed, light blankets are provided.

I'm usually available by phone, but guests should be prepared to do a self check in and complete check in without my assistance. It's located in the country, on a gravel road, 2 miles from a really cool small town of Wadena.
You WILL see local wildlife and bugs.
If you want a fun unique quiet place to stay, please make a reservation and make yourself at home.
Please also be prepared to complete your stay with minimal assistance from the host. If you need anything, TEXT me. :)

The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

Pretty cozy stay

We were expecting 2 bathrooms and 4 total beds. Only had one double bed and 2 twins. Lucky there were 2 fold out couches. We packed our chairs to use so didn’t use the ones supplied but there was plenty seating available. Loved the wrap around porch!

A Wonderful Cozy Cabin

This cabin was a beautiful little place out in the country, away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It made for a great chance for my family and I to get away from everyday life and just relax. Having access to the water made for some great memories for my niece. And my parents also especially enjoyed having such a nice sized deck/porch to laze around on. The owner was very polite and answered all my questions. Would absolutely stay here again!

Quiet peaceful cabin

Our family of five chose this cabin for a short getaway. We all had a wonderful time , the lake is beautiful and quiet. We especially enjoyed kayaking, canoeing and paddle boating. Andy met us there when we arrived and was super easy to communicate with. The cabin had everything our family needed. Inside there are plenty of games, the kitchen had what we needed to eat in, the grill was great, there were plenty of towels and toiletries. We set up chairs around the fire pit and enjoyed sitting out there at night listening to the sounds of nature. This is a wonderful cabin and we’d highly recommend it. Planning to return.

Another amazing stay at this great cabin!

Another amazing stay at this great cabin! My wife and I stayed here for the second time recently and just had a great time. The cabin is very, very clean, with great amenities, a beautiful pond just outback, and just extremely serene and calm. Andy is great, very kind and very good to work with. He even brought us some fresh sweet corn one night which was delicious! We will definitely be back again for our third visit, hopefully sometime this fall when the trees are turning colors and the temperatures are going down. Highly recommend it!

Wish we could’ve stayed longer…

This was an amazing trip, and the property was exactly as described. The cabin has a very cool wrap around porch. Andy was super nice and accommodating while 100% non-invasive. We used the canoe and caught a few fish. It was a short drive to WI where we were able to do some more fishing at Bloody Run. Beautiful scenery everywhere in this part of the state. We even brought a tv because there isn’t one at the cabin (while we were there, which was clear in the description), and didn’t even bring it inside. We’ll definitely be back!
