This was our second stay here and we loved it just as much, if not more, as the first time. It has everything you need for a relaxing lake stay. It’s also close to Walker and Bedmidji if there’s a rainy day and for shopping. We will be back!

This is a special place! It’s a beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting! The check in was very easy and the cabin had everything that we needed, including in the kitchen. I enjoyed taking the kayak out for an evening paddle on the smooth as glass lake and enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the loons. The little store in Laporte was close for picking up milk and sweet corn. We look forward to staying here again!

Nice Minnesota lake getaway

The cabin and property are very pretty. The lake is a natural lake so there's some grasses and natural vegetation around the banks and dock. It was very peaceful and nice place. Cabin is very spacious.

Ideal waterfront cabin property

Three of us fished off the dock every day and two has great luck catching bass from it. The kayaks were Al great to use to get out a bit further for fishing. The house was gorgeous and well cleaned. It was great to have three separate sleeping areas and the loft included a tv so our older kids could hangout there and relax too. The deck was really neat and always had the best view. We loved this cabin so much and highly recommend it!

Just what we needed

This cabin was perfect for the six of us to disappear to for a week before school started. Nice open layout, great deck for spreading out on, and nice little fishing lake. Secluded enough to feel alone and relaxed, but close to town for necessities.

About the host

Hosted by Jan Schlichting

Host profile image
We purchased this property in May 2018. All the furnishings are new and the cabin has been cleaned from top to bottom. This is a vacation home for us and we love it. We would like to give someone else the opportunity to stay and enjoy this beautiful peaceful place while we are gone. We have found a wonderful manager here in the Walker area who will be available to you for a any questions or problems that might arise during your stay.

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed in the Walker Area for over 30 years camping and boating on Leech Lake and the surrounding area every summer. When we retired we decided to buy a cabin instead of bringing our camper and boat with us from Nebraska.

We found this wonderful property and instantly fell in love with it. We look forward to coming back every year.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful custom built Log cabin on approximately 1 acre with many mature trees on a very quiet secluded road. There is also a fish cleaning house with running water and a freezer. The Paul Bunyan Trail is across the road from the end of our driveway. Excellent trail for bikes or walking. Laporte is just a 1 mile down the road with a excellent grocery store, gas station and city park with playground equipment. There is a public dock for launching boats into Garfield Lake.
