About this property

Peaceful cabin retreat on Clearwater Lake (4 season)

Our cozy family cabin sits on Clearwater Lake located 7 miles NW of Chisholm/Hibbing and 7 miles from McCarthy Beach State Park.
Well maintained, newer built cabin, with 2 bedrooms (1 queen, 1 twin over full bunk) 1 gas fireplace and 2 spacious rooms with radiant floor heat throughout. Professionally decorated simply in a vintage camping lodge style.
Shallow sandy swimming beach, perfect for kids. Full dock and firepit to enjoy s’mores by the lake. Outdoor charcoal grill.
Enjoy abundant fishing off the dock on this pristine spring fed lake. Enjoy a cup of coffee while sitting on the dock and listen to the call of the loons. And in the winter, watch the deer feed out front as you sit by the fire. We have games and books for those snowy/rainy days.
This is a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!
*we have also added a row boat & paddle board for guest use

Fantastic get away

We had a great time with our two young children and will be back next year! The property is beautiful and very peaceful with modern amenities. The only small issues were the lack of curtains and the sulfur smell from the well water. Thanks for having us!

Cute cabin on quiet lake. The only problem was that it could have been cleaned better. There was a dirty sock on the floor and parts of the rooms that looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a long while.

Pull up a chair

My husband and I wanted time away from Dallas and to visit family in Minnesota. This property was everything we needed and more. Sitting on the dock - with or without a fishing pole was amazing.

Treasured family traditionThis was my 5th time staying at the Bensons' cabin. As always, it was amazing. We live only a half hour or so away, but don't have our own lake place. Our annual stay at Clearwater provides us many northern Minnesota lake memories. We especially love rowing and stand up paddle boarding, and my girls have really gotten into fishing the past couple of years (this time my older daughter added a nice bass to our sheetpan seafood "boil"). As I've stated in my previous reviews, the cabin in tidy, needs are provided for, and I love the decor. Communication has always been responsive. We'll be back next year!

Relaxing get away

Late Oct 2024 Karen was so nice and gave us very accurate information on hiking areas nearby. It was also easy to check in. The cabin was cute and clean. We spent a lot of time by the fireplace while enjoying the view of the lake. The kitchen was fully stacked. Was even provided fresh water, coal for the grill, and firewood for the pit. We would definitely stay again.

A north woods cabin located on a quiet and remote lake? Yes, please! Clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. Games, blankets and a fireplace add to the cozy feel. Host communication was prompt and helpful.

Great short stay

Lovely spacious cabin providing a nice retreat away from the elements. We biked on the Mesabi trail and it was close enough to be convenient, only downside was the voracious mosquitos which prevented us from spending much time by the lake.

Perfect family getaway

My family and I loved staying here. The cabin was clean, cozy and welcoming. There was no tv or WiFi, but that ended up being okay. Sometimes it’s good to unplug—and force the kids to do the same. Would definitely stay here again!

Very comfy cabin

The cabin is very comfortable and well appointed. The setting by the lake is lovely and we enjoyed a bug free evening by the firepit! The weekend we were there (late august), the potable water had a very strong smell to it that was hard to ignore even a while after showering. Fortunately, the fridge had two gallons of fresh water for coffee and drinking. You might want to bring more water if you plan on cooking or using more.

Another great week at Clearwater Lake

This was our 4th year staying at the Bensons'. It has turned into a treasured family tradition. We live only about 40 minutes away but don't have a lake property in the family. Our annual week on Clearwater allows us to do all of the classic Minnesota summer things - rowing, paddleboarding, swimming, fishing, and campfires, plus the convenience of home! So grateful you're willing to share your place with us!
