About this property

"The Cabin" on the shore of Loon Lake! Create Memories!

Dreaming of a summer cabin on a lake? Look no further.
Welcome to "The Cabin" on Loon Lake.

Let this private cabin/ lake home, 35 feet from the water create years of memories.
Wake to the call of the Loons! Experience total relaxation at this freshly updated lake home called "The Cabin".

Nestled in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes area of Central Minnesota, Loon Lake is located between the towns of Nisswa and Pequot Lakes 3 miles west of Highway 371.

The large trees and woods greet you as you enter the curving circular driveway.
The natural path takes you to the main entrance. As you enter "The Cabin" you will be charmed by the large windows that look out to the lake and woods. The living room spans the width of the cabin with large windows. There is a large flat screen TV and DVD player, Roku for streaming, Netflix, Hulu and internet are provided. The cabin also has a collection of DVD movies plus many board games, puzzles and classic books for the rain days.

The original dining room with a vaulted knotty pine ceiling looks out to the deck and allows for peaceful views of Loon Lake.
The new, fully equipped kitchen has everything you will need for dining in; there is a new gas grill on the deck too.
If you don't feel like cooking, there are a number of excellent local restaurants from which to choose.
Completing the main level you will find the main floor bedroom with a Queen size bed, 3/4 bath, and full laundry.

The upper level is composed of a sitting / office area, one private bedroom with a Queen bed and a deck overlooking the woods.
The second bedroom, has double on the bottom and twin on top bunk bed. It is a great place to fall asleep listening to the call of the loons. There is a 3/4 bath upstairs, plus the secret room that is revealed when sliding the barn door!

On the grounds of the property is a lakeside fire pit for evening camp fires. The side yard is a great place to sip morning coffee while watching the Bald Eagles and Loons fish for their breakfast. Or enjoy yard games in the afternoon.

Out the front door are meandering steps that lead to the lake and a dock where you will find great water for all of your recreational needs. There is plenty of room to dock your own boat and toys. There is a 14" row boat for you to use, along with 2 single person kayaks. Loon Lake has a public access for easy launching of your own boat or one that you might rent.

"The Cabin" is conveniently located 3 miles from the Paul Bunyan Trail. This paved state trail is great for biking, walking, running, roller blading, snowmobiling, X-country skiing, and viewing wildlife.

If you are planning a drinking party, please find another place to stay.
This is a quiet cabin for the well behaved.

New in 2025 an updated deep well and new water filtration system have been added to provide the clearest quality water possible.

"The Cabin" on Loon Lake is the place to spend your next get away.

A Perfect Getaway Up North!

We had a lovely time at "The Cabin" near Nisswa. Cindy provided a warm, inviting place to stay for a few days with our family to be together and enjoy everything that Northern Minnesota has to offer. Not only that, our nephew had lost a stuffed animal he left behind and she mailed it back with a kind note. Not only will you enjoy a wonderful stay right on beautiful Loon Lake, but a host that will make you feel right at home.

Beautiful location on a quiet lake

Our family of 5 loved our stay! This was the best furnished and hosted stay I've had. We were provided with everything we needed, including things we didn't know we needed. The fishing, boating, and campfires at night were highlights. It's even more spacious than it looks in the pictures. We would definitely stay again!

The host went out of her way to make the cabin have everything you could possibly need. The welcoming feeling is genuine, however the mattresses were unbearable to sleep on, and my hair and fingernails turned orange from the water.

Wonderful getaway!

Our family had such a wonderful time at "the Cabin". This home is full of special touches, such as a pasta dinner for your first night, a s'mores basket and root beer floats in the fridge, My Dad was especially grateful fro the toothbrushes as he forgot his. Cindy has truly thought of everything. The bedrooms were spacious and everything is neat and comfy. We enjoyed the fire ring, the kayaks and row boat and secret room (great for meditating!). We are already planning our trip back here next year. It was a truly special.

Great cabin on the lake

Our family of five had a lovely week at this cabin on the lake. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, s’mores kit, and everything freshly cleaned. We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen (with dishwasher), the secret toy room, a nice size television for evening movies, yard games, a nice fire pit, and, of course, the great dock with rowboat. Our kids spent hours and hours fishing off the dock (little fish) and from the boat. There were life jackets for everyone. We were a little worried about having no air conditioning, but it wasn’t an issue at all. With all the many fans and the shade from the trees, the cabin never got too warm. We had a comfortable temperature all week. The wifi was very strong, so my husband could get some work done each morning. We enjoyed visiting the towns nearby. Nisswa has turtle races on Wednesday’s, Piquot Lakes has a great grocery store and fishing supply store. We also had a fun round of mini golf at the Pirate’s Cove just 10 minutes away. It was a great week of relaxing and the owners were great at communicating. I highly recommend this cabin. There is only one thing that wasn’t perfect - the mattresses were too soft for our liking. We didn’t sleep great because they were saggy and we are not heavy people. Maybe it is just our personal preference, but if they upgrade the mattresses it would be an A+ for sure.

Beautiful cabin and lake

Our family of 4 really enjoyed our time at The Cabin. We spent many hours on the lake kayaking and fishing. The water temperature was cool for me but the kids didn’t mind. Cindy was very attentive. She answered messages quickly and we appreciated all of the s’mores ingredients they had ready for us on arrival. Would definitely stay here again!!

Girls weekend

We enjoyed our stay very much. The owner was thoughtful having everything we needed for an enjoyable weekend. We especially liked the small touches— coffee and filters so that we had coffee without going to the grocery store, the fixings for s’mores that were provided and the two bottles of wine and spaghetti dinner that the owner provided. We had a long day of traveling and didn’t feel like grocery shopping so we’re thrilled with these things. The cabin is tastefully decorated and we made a fire to enjoy the outdoors. We also took the kayak and rowboat for a spin. We laughed a lot. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Cindy was responsive to us quickly when we needed to reach her.

Relaxing, everything provided!

The cabin was very clean and nicely decorated. Cindy provided everything we needed and more. We brought several things like laundry soap, a pump for our floaties, and room fans. These were all there waiting for us. We loved the lake, enjoyed the boat and kayaks. We caught several fish right off the dock and from the boat. The ad said when we booked that the cabin had basic cable and it did not so I suggest updating that. We did use the free netflix and hulu. The Wifi was decent. I also recommend figuring out a lock for the upstairs bathroom sliding barn door. Overall, a great rental. We loved it and will look for availability next summer! Thank you.

Great start to summer!

Adorable cabin with everything you would want to enjoy a get away! Cindy set us up for a perfect first night with all sorts of treats and plenty of fans to keep us cool. Plenty of towels, pillows, blankets to keep us comfy. We fished off the dock and caught bass, pike and sunnies, the boys were thrilled. And made great use of the kayaks. Water was a great temp and the water area was well tended, raked so not too weedy. It was really wonderful. One tiny minus was the next door neighbor who was up at 7:40 power washing something, but other than that, it was perfect! And when we had an issue with a smoke detector, Cindy was there right away to take care of it. Thanks for a great weekend!!

Girls getaway

It was a perfect cozy, clean and beautiful cabin. We spend most of the time outside by the lake, doing kayak , and by the firepit. Beds were very conformable and enough for the 7 of us. The nicer thing is the dinning area because was also a place where all get together for each meal, large table with a lot of light and perfect view to the lake. The owner had wine waiting for us at the arrival, that was SO nice! My friends already changed the name to our chat's group, so definitively we would like to come back to The Cabin :-) Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Cindy

Host profile image
Spending every summer at the cabin is a Minnesota tradition. As a child I spent summers at "the Cabin" learning to water ski, sail, canoe, learn about the wildlife in northern MN. Along with spending quality time with family and friends.
I have been lucky enough to share these Minnesota experiences with my children and grandchildren too. Now I'd like everyone to have the opportunity to spend the summer "Up North" at "the Cabin"!

Why they chose this property

The cabin has been in my family since 1970!
The original cabin is the section closest to the lake,
a lop sided A frame. The 2 story addition was added in the early 90's. This past winter was spent giving the cabin a new fresh makeover for all to enjoy. My hope is to share "the Cabin" with others who love nature and would like to create memories with their family and friends.

What makes this property unique

There is nothing like sitting on the dock and seeing the loons swim buy, "The Cabin" is a very special place.
