About this property
Escape to this private, charming, up north cabin overlooking 8th Crow Wing Lake
Enjoy this thoughtfully detailed lake cabin for your summer getaway. All the amenities of home but with the slowness and charm of the north.
Perched on the crest of a hill overlooking 8th Crow Wing Lake, the views are stunning, peaceful, and ideal for bird lovers to observe nature in action. With expansive windows in every room, you can enjoy the outdoors from the light filled comfort of indoors. Or sit on the large deck and take in the hum of motor boats, loon calls, and humming birds zooming by. You will feel refreshed as soon as you walk in the door of this well loved cabin.
The property has much to offer. With woods separating the cabin from neighbors, you will feel secluded and away from it all. A winding pebble path leads you down to the lake, where you'll find a large dock for swimming, fishing or just sitting with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. There is a public boat launch on the opposite side of the lake and guests are welcome to tie up to the dock. Back up on top of the hill, take advantage of the large fire pit and yard activities, like bag toss (games provided).
Bring your bikes and explore the Heartland trail. Our favorite tour is from Akley to Walker, it's a beautiful stretch of the trail and Walker has a downtown with lots of shops and parks that are fun to explore. Another great day trip is to start in Nevis, bike to Dorset for a treat at the Dorset House, famous for their ice cream sundays, then end back at the Iron Horse in Nevis for delicious BBQ dinner.
No matter what your pleasure, we think you'll have a great time getting to know the cabin and the area. We would love to share this special place with you.
We winterize our cabin, so it is available for booking May-October and closed November-April. The dock access is dependent on weather. It's usually in by the end of May depending on ice out, and taken out by October 1, so would not be accessible for early May or October renters.
The path to the lake is steep and may not be accessible to those with mobility limitations.

About the host
Hosted by Katy Dale
I grew up spending my summer at this cabin while my dad built it from the ground up! This was truly a labor of love for my mom and dad and was their get-away for 25 years. My mom is no longer with us and my husband and I have taken over the cabin. I'm an architectural designer in Minneapolis and we spent 2016 fixing it up into a true retreat, now with modern conveniences like a dishwasher (so excited!) and large water heater (no more 1 minute showers!). We love the process of making homes beautiful and functional and feel rewarded when others get to enjoy that work. We decided to start sharing the cabin so you can make this your special retreat too, and hope you will fall in love with it and keep coming back so we can continue to make improvements for all of us to enjoy. We look forward to sharing this unique place with you.
