The cabin is 1200 square feet. The main living area is an open kitchen, dining and living space complete with a wood burning stove. The kitchen is fully stocked. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms have new king hybrid mattress (one medium firm and one medium soft), and the third bedroom is a bunkroom with 2 bunkbeds that have 4 new single beds. One bathroom is a full bath with a tub/shower combo and the other bathroom is a half bath. There is a utility room with a washer and dryer. There is a smart tv in the main living area and each of the bedrooms. You will need to use your own log-ins to access Netflix, Hulu, etc. The main living area and each of the bedrooms has a mini-split a/c system that is remote operated. The two king bedrooms (not the bunk room) also have ceiling fans. For the cooler months, there is in-floor heat and a wood burning stove.

The patio has a gas grill (propane provided), dining table and lounge furniture. There's plenty of seating for everyone. We have an outdoor shower located off the patio.

The fire pit is located between the cabin and the lake. There is also a picnic table near the lake.

We have a 48 foot dock and hard sand beach/bottom that's perfect for swimming, fishing and lake activities!

The cabin has a 200 foot set back from the lake. The property does not have any nearby neighbors. It does border the SW public access of Dead Lake.

The property is heavily wooded so there are insects, bugs, toads/frogs and wildlife. We have the cabin and grass between the cabin and the lake professionally sprayed throughout the warm months.

The dock is available for use May (depending on ice out) through October.

We have a pack n play and high chair available.

The property was super clean, accommodated various family throughout our time there and provided every single thing we needed during our stay. There were deer and coyote, lots of birds and a fantastic outdoor space to enjoy it all, not to mention the lake and private dock. Absolutely amazing. What a wonderful find this was for us! Will definitely be back.

Summer getaway

I’ve been taking my kids on a yearly cabin adventure for years, this was by far our favorite stay yet. Super cute cabin, love the open yard down to the lake and the water was perfect. Cabin has everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

Wonderful get away

We booked this for ice fishing, but due to the unexpected warm weather we were unable to get out on the lake. This gave us time to spend with friends. This place is cozy and a great get away.

Dreaming About Summer

The cabin was the perfect size for us! The dogs loved all the private space to run around. My husband and I loved the cabin and were left dreaming about what the place looks like in the summer. Thanks to the hosts for opening up such a beautiful cabin for us to stay and enjoy!

State Park Home Base

We stayed at this property as a home base while visiting several MN state parks. It was simply awesome and is perfectly situated between Glendalough and Maple Haven. We loved every minute and hope to come again. The massive snow drifts did not deter our winter adventures and the cozy cabin was relaxing to enjoy in the evening. Thank you for sharing this special place with others.

Fall getaway

Property is just as pictured. Host is very responsive to a couple minor items we incurred. Public launch right next door and we had rented fishing boat delivered and picked up. Well stocked in kitchen. Patio is beautiful with furniture and perfect lake view. We went to a couple state parks nearby. Our stay was cut short due to family emergency but enjoyed our time there.

perfect seclusion

The cabin was spectacular for everything. It was a warmish early spring couple of days - ice was still on the lake so no water activities. The hiking was great in the area. The cabin was secluded but close to amenities including Blackboard restaurant. We spent a day at Glendalough State Park. The late afternoon we had a bonfire outside and watched people ice fishing out on the lake. Two things I would suggest for the place (but not deal breakers) is a blue tooth speaker and a kettle. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great property with tons of amenities!!

Easy check in/out process that was preemptively communicated by the manager. The property is situated in a cozy isolated area on the lake which made it even more relaxing. So many amenities inside from a pack and play that we utilized for our daughter to various cooking utensils and supplies. The fire pit and patio areas looked like a great time for the upcoming summer with the string lights were charming. Only thing that we could suggest is a sidewalk or pavers leading from the parking to the cabin as it’s muddy spring time. Would definitely recommend this property and hope to stay again!

Fantastic, will rebook

The pictures are the exact replica of this property!! It was amazing to have such beautiful and fairly quiet lake access. While the public beach access is quite close, it’s not as noisy as I expected! Just be aware that yourself and your dogs need to be checked a couple times a day for ticks. The four of us and our 4 dogs each pulled numerous ticks off!! Another a couple annoying flies and a few mosquitoes, we were pretty much bug free—the owners do a great job at spraying their lawn property. I got amazing sunset views off the lake! My dogs had an ultimate blast, the house is gorgeous, the kitchen is well well-stocked. Everything was so great, I really enjoyed our stay and look forward to re-booking in the future!!!

Beautiful & Quiet

We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back. ‘LOTS of positives too many to mention. So…these are not really criticisms! They are observations for the owners that they may wish to address. The grill was dirty and the propane went dry on first use with no apparent spare. Some may like the huge high-loft bed pillows (we did Not & bought our own). ‘Could really use a quality can opener. There were 2 there, neither worked.

Wonderful! Family friendly! Kind & thoughtful hosts!

Hosts were thoughtful, considerate, and welcoming; supportive throughout reservation process & quick to respond to my many questions prior to arrival. They were willing to make accomodations to support needs of my family: 5 adults, 6 children (6 yrs of age & under) & a dog! Inside was extremely clean, organized, stocked, comfortable, & open. Like home, but better! The large outdoor space supported long days of fishing off their steady dock, swimming (with soft sand around dock, perfect for kids), frog hunting, playing yard games, socializing & grilling on the patio, & enjoying the beauty of nature. Flies were a little annoying, but harmless....WAY better than being eaten by mosquitoes (professionally sprayed between house and dock). As I already mentioned, hosts were so incredibly thoughtful, providing everything we could possibly need & more! Family votes to return next year! Thank you, Haus Stays!
