Great Place

This was a wonderful place to stay. It is right on the lake with a big dock to catch fish off of. The owners are very accommodating. They are there if you need anything.

Weekend getaway

Very peaceful at the cabin, wished there was swimming access but there was a beach just a few blocks away. Catching fish right off the dock. Nice size sunnies and bass. Owners were amazing and very friendly. A couple issues with the power but they are fixing it. Overall I had a wonderful time with the family!

6/10 Okay

Not what we expected

The cabin is under new ownership and hopefully they will be replacing the couch and carpeting as they were very dirty.

Idlewild, now under new management is delightful. Cozy, fantastic owners, lovely lake views and lots of great antique shops close by. Plan to go again in a few years.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Steinbrecher

I grew up in Blaine Minnesota and always dreamed of living in a small town. I love renting my cabins out to show the beauty and relaxation of this small town area that I fell in love with and moved to when I was 19.

Why they chose this property

Osakis is the first town I moved to from the Minneapolis area and holds a special place in my heart. Everyone was so friendly and happy here.

What makes this property unique

The best part of this property is the feel of being away from it all, but in reality town is just around the corner, with anything you want/need within 10 blocks from the property!
