About this property

Quiet Shell River Cabin with Sauna

Our Cozy little cabin is the perfect getaway for all seasons. The sauna is an extra treat. The property is close to the tiny town of Osage and the Smokey Hills State Forest. The Shell River runs through the property providing the perfect relaxing background at the campfire. The large oaks provide beautiful green shade in the summer, an array of orange & yellow in the fall and a beautiful place for the frost and snow to settle in the winter.

Charming cabin with a beautiful burbling creek in the backyard. A bit closer with the neighbors than the pictures show, but a lovely spot to relax in the shade. The little sauna is a wonderful treat. At night, really enjoyed the bountiful collection of 90's dvds!

About the host

Hosted by Deana Deitchler

Host profile image
Hello, I am a Park Rapids resident. I lived near Park Rapids as a child and moved back to the area to raise my family. The house just South of the River Cabin is where my husband, Kelly and I raised our children until 2004. I owned and operated Dogs Paw near Park Rapids for 14 years. This cabin has a fun history, and we love sharing the property with guests so that you can experience the relaxing environment.

Why they chose this property

I love this place for the large oak trees and the peaceful river. The location is close to the Smokey Hills State Forest, Straight Lake, Park Rapids and about a 25–30-minute drive to Itasca State Park.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is a bit rustic on the outside and very clean, cozy and convenient on the inside. The large oak trees provide shade and beauty year-round.
