Escape to Your Private Lakefront Paradise on Lake Shamineau. Brand New Remodel!

Escape to Your Private Lakefront Paradise on Lake Shamineau – Brand New High-End Remodel!
Welcome to this stunning, fully renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bath lakefront cabin on beautiful Lake Shamineau in Motley, MN. Just 30 feet from the water’s edge with 80 feet of pristine lakeshore, this turnkey retreat offers the perfect blend of modern luxury and classic Minnesota cabin charm.
Completely gutted and upgraded with all-new systems (sewer, well, plumbing, electrical, roof, windows, and doors), the interior features warm knotty pine finishes throughout, a tankless water heater, high-speed internet, and thoughtful details that make every stay effortless and memorable. The cabin is fully furnished with brand-new furniture, including two queen-size hide-a-beds, comfortably sleeping up to 6 guests.
Step outside to your private waterfront oasis: enjoy two 40-foot docks for boating, swimming, and fishing right from your property. Relax on the shoreline, launch kayaks or paddleboards, or simply soak in the peaceful lake views. The additional back lot (part of ~1.75 acres total) includes a full driveway, separate well in a charming 6x8 shed, and power—ideal for extra parking, guests, camping, or future expansion.
Whether you're planning a romantic couples getaway, a small family vacation, or a fishing/friends weekend, this licensed and proven VRBO rental delivers an unforgettable experience. Cook in the updated kitchen, unwind in the cozy living space, or gather around a fire pit (firewood delivery available). Nearby attractions include golf (just blocks away—drive your cart right to the course!), Brainerd Lakes area activities, state parks, and more.

Cute cabin on beautiful lake

Cabin was small as we expected but served our needs for a few days. It worked out perfect. It was a beautiful location and I loved watching the sunrise and sunsets. Kids loved to fish and swim. Floyd the owner was a great communicator and I would definitely go back!
