About this property

Quaint log cabin nestled in the woods on 800 feet of private lakeshore on beautiful Lake Butterfield. This peaceful retreat offers a serene setting inviting you to slow down, rest and relax while reconnecting with nature and yourself. Sit on the large front porch with your morning coffee and enjoy a stunning view of the lake and an abundance of wildlife and a symphony of birds.

This cabin has all the amenities one needs for the perfect getaway. Take the canoe, kayak or paddleboard on the lake or go for a swim. Read a book in the hammock, play a game of bocce ball in the yard or roast marshmallows at the outdoor firepit. Bring your bikes and take advantage of the Cuyuna bike trails in nearby Crosby or the Paul Bunyan Trail. For the golf enthusiast, courses are close by including Emily Greens, Crosswoods and Golden Eagle Golf Club. And don’t forget putt-putt in Crosslake!

Snuggle up on cooler days next to the wood burning fireplace and play games or take a nap. Visit popular Crosslake minutes away to enjoy restaurants and shopping.

Peace and tranquility awaits!

Please note there is a game camera on the driveway into the property.

Quiet solitude

Beautiful remote cabin. Not far from quick stop stores, groceries and small towns of Emily and Crosby, which is what we were looking for. Butterfield lake is quiet and serene. Lots of bird watching from the porch….and so many turkeys! We’re from PA and are used to turkeys but not to this degree. They were everywhere!! We came for mt bike riding and Crosby has the best trails. We thoroughly enjoyed. Had several days of rain but did manage to kayak on the lake.

Clean, Convenient, and Quiet Retreat

This is a great place, inside and out! The deck is perfect for enjoying the view, the breeze, and the birds (heard so many loons); the yard is perfect for lounging or playing games. We aren’t water people, but they have a number of options if you are. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, the beds were comfy, and I think this is the cleanest property we have ever rented. It’s just a quick drive into Crosslake area and 30min from Crosby/Cuyuna trails. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful quiet stay

Fantastic property with plenty of sleeping space for families and a lovely deck view of the very low traffic lake. I think we heard one motorized boat during our 4 day stay. Lovely little row boat for a quick relaxing jaunt across the water lilies to the open lake. Very secluded and quiet property. Owners we very quick to respond to all queries and everything we needed was there for us to use! Would highly recommend and will be looking for additional opportunities to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Cecily and Seth Johnson

Seth has been spending his time on Lake Butterfield since he was a little boy. His parents bought a place near the log cabin in the 60’s. When Cecily started dating Seth, she too fell in love with Lake Butterfield. After getting married and having 3 kids, they decided to purchase their own place on the same lake. Then the opportunity arose to purchase the log cabin. Situated between his parent’s place (which is now owned by Seth’s sister) and 30 acres of land they purchased years ago, it only made sense to buy it. We know you will enjoy the beauty and tranquility as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

If one is looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this private log cabin is for you. The driveway is 1/3 of a mile and brings you through the woods to this delight right on the lake. There is nothing better in the morning then getting up and having your coffee on the porch and watching the wildlife. The lake is big enough to enjoy watersports and swim, but because there is no public access, the lake is never too busy.
