Scenic cabin that feels like home

Our family of five enjoyed a long weekend away at the Green County Cabin and enjoyed it immensely! The cabin had all we needed and more including phone chargers throughout. We enjoyed the comfortable couches, beds, dock and hours on the paddle boards! We will definitely be back- such a great place to stay!

Another great stay

We returned to Greene Co cabin due to its location. We had a relaxing stay with no need to leave with all the lake activities. Very clean and comfortable. We will definitely return, hopefully for a longer stay. Krista is a great host!

Great cabin, nice dock and beach

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It's a beautiful place. Our boys really enjoyed swimming and playing in the water and we enjoyed sitting out on the dock. The only drawback was the bugs. Thankfully, the end of the dock was a good reprieve.

Quiet weekend away

We really enjoyed the cabin. After the kids shock that there was no tv, we got the chance to do puzzles, play board games, read books and spend a lot of time fishing on the dock. The house is very quiet and large enough for everyone to enjoy themselves. It was a little cold the first day we were there but then warmed up and we got to enjoy all the lake toys.

2nd Annual Girl's Weekend

This was our 2nd time for girl's weekend at this cabin and it was just as great as it was last year! All the amenities are fabulous. Great living space and kitchen! The outdoor space is fantastic! Plenty of room on the dock for chairs. We will stay again! Thanks Krista!

Peace on the water

We just returned from five nights at Greene Co Cabin on Elm Island Lake. The setting is secluded with a wonderful beach and the cabin offers all the comforts of home away from home. Check in, check out and communication with the owner was excellent as she was able to answer any questions for us during our stay. The kitchen is well equipped for meal preparations. There are large windows facing the lake with beautiful sunset views and a deck to relax on. The beach is sandy, which is great for swimming, and the use of the canoe and paddle boards made the time in the water especially fun. Fishing off the dock and around the lake was great as we caught (and released) many fish. The trip into Aitkin is about 10 minutes for groceries and town activities. We had a great time at Green Co Cabin and will book again when our travels take us back to the lake country of MN.

Comfortable and quiet

Our family had a great week at Green County Cabin! It was very intentional to have a peaceful setting and to simply enjoy the lake-this place hit the mark perfectly. The multiple sleeping areas allowed all of us to have our own space. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything needed for home-cooked meals. The dining room table is plenty large to accommodate larger families or simultaneous activities. When cleaned off, we used it for ping pong- it was awesome! The deck overlooking the lake has a large table as well that we used frequently. As for the lake, we didn’t see any boats during the week, and only a couple on Saturday. Very quiet for mid July with ideal weather. Our teens enjoyed the paddle boards and Big Joe. Our son easily caught fish off the dock. The host is very responsive to any questions, but really, we didn’t have very many. We enjoyed our stay and would like to return.

Family Getaway

We were looking for a place to bring our three kids to get away for a family weekend prior to school starting. This was the best choice we could have ever made. The cabin is beautiful and private, however it was close enough for us to find restaurant options and shopping. The lake does not have a lot of use, making it perfect for swimming, fishing, paddle boarding and canoeing. We built fires every night, making it that much more comfortable. We have rented many VRBO properties in the past and have found some owners to be slow with response. I didn't wait longer than a few minutes to get answers to any of my questions. Which really helps when you are trying to navigate a new place with three kids chomping at the bit to do things. The beds are comfortable, lots of kitchen tools for cooking of all meals, along with grilling as an option. It allowed us to cook big breakfasts and solid dinners. This property had everything we were looking for along with responsive owners. Our kids were already planning another trip to go back before we were out of the driveway. It was a perfect way to end the summer. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the people they are traveling with!

Can’t wait to go back!

We rented this cabin for an end of summer getaway and to celebrate my birthday. I can’t imagine a better place to spend this family time! Everything we needed was available, communication was fantastic, the loons were calling and the stars were shining. We spent time playing on the Big Joe, swimming, eating at great places close by in Aitkin, played board games at the gorgeous table and watched the hummingbirds. Very relaxing, I’d highly recommend this beautiful cabin!
