About this property

SEE OUR SPECTACULAR VIDEO AT YOU TUBE NORTHERN MINNESOTA ISLAND MN (or on the third photo!)

We haven't been able to upload the best photos yet, buy please click on the video. I guarantee you will not be disappointed or money back! This property is rented to families and extended family members only.
This 4.8 acre island is located just three hours northwest of Minneapolis in a very interesting part of Minnesota. While there are open grassy areas around the three authentic log cabins the older edges of the island have been seated in wildflowers and the whole effect is magical. Let your kids and dogs roam free without worrying about encountering others.

Inside the main cabin you will find scores of railroad antiques and memoribilia to entertain kids of all ages! The authentic log cabins were crafted by Amish families in the early 2000's and are beautiful. The cabins are air conditions and have Wi-fi and are very comfortable. The island also has a hand hewn cedar log sauna that hs a convenient electric sauna just a few feet from where you can jump in the lake and swim to our floating dock. The jewel of the island is the Tea House located in the center of the island. This is a one of a kind masterpiece of design and craft and sports a screened area in case the mosquitos are out in force(usually the mosquitos are blown off the island in a breeze).

There are multiple yard games supplied and we will guarantee you will have a wonderful time at this one of a kind paradise. You will need to bring your own boat to access the island which is less than 1/4 mile from landing. We have a pontoon available if you would like to rent at a very good rate

SAFETY NOTE: The health of our cleaning team and future guests is paramount. Alert us if any guests exhibit any symptoms of Covid 19 so we can act decisively. Via

Island time, Minnesota style.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful Oasis. It was fun exploring the island, playing cards in the Tea House, Taking Sauna's and jumping in the lake, Evening fires, and checking out the lake via pontoon, and just plain relaxing. Thanks Chris

Great extended family getaway

We had three generations of family stay on the island for a long summer weekend. There was lots of space to spread out for games, reading, napping, and kids and dogs running around the yard. We hung hammocks in the trees, had fires at night, gathered for meals in the guest cabin, and played games in the tea house. The water in Long Lake was so clean so we really enjoyed a lot of swimming and fishing. Beautiful property!

Why they chose this property

There is nothing like an island. When I stumbled across it, having a cabin property was the last thing I ever wanted but when I saw it for the first time across the bay of the lake in it's primitive form, I changed my tune and my life as it has been a work of love.
