Relax in the Fox Den | Private 2BR Cabin Close to Beach & Activities
Tucked Away, Full of Charm, and Ready for Your Next Adventure
Looking for a quiet escape that still keeps you close to all the fun and beauty of Mille Lacs Lake? The Fox Den Units at Appeldoorn’s Sunset Bay Resort offer the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and Up North Minnesota charm — making them ideal for families, small groups, and those who simply want a peaceful lakeside getaway.
Tucked into a serene corner of the resort, these cozy cabins offer a charming "hidden away" feeling while still being just a short stroll from the beach, the Fun Zone, the boat rentals, and all the lakeside excitement.
🛏️ 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | Sleeps 6 Comfortably
The Fox Den Units are thoughtfully designed for easygoing, cozy living:
Bedroom One: Features a comfy queen bed — the perfect retreat after a day on the water or an evening at the bonfire.
Bedroom Two: Includes two sets of bunk beds — a kid’s (and kid-at-heart’s) dream! Perfect for families traveling with children, cousins sharing a room, or friends who love the nostalgic feeling of bunking up.
Bathroom: A full bathroom with a tub/shower combo makes freshening up easy, whether you're starting your day or winding down after a lakeside sunset.
These units are ideal for groups of up to six, offering just the right amount of shared space while providing comfortable private sleeping areas.
🍳 Homey Living, Dining, and Kitchen Space
Each Fox Den Unit includes:
A Full Kitchen stocked with essential cookware, utensils, and appliances, including a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker.
Dining Area where your crew can gather for meals, snacks, and game nights.
Comfortable Living Space perfect for unwinding after an adventure-filled day — whether that's watching a movie, telling fishing tales, or simply relaxing together.
You’ll have everything you need to cook up family breakfasts, picnic lunches, or lakeside dinners — giving you the freedom to eat, relax, and play on your own schedule.
🌳 Nestled in a Quiet, Private Setting
The Fox Den Units are perfectly placed for guests who value peace, privacy, and a sense of seclusion.
No Through Traffic: These cabins are tucked into a quiet corner of the resort, away from the busy areas, making them a safe and serene setting for families and those looking to truly unwind.
Nature All Around: Enjoy the soft rustle of the trees, the calls of the loons, and the scent of fresh northern air as you sit outside with a morning coffee or gather for an evening campfire.
Close to Adventure, Yet Peaceful: It’s the best of both worlds — close enough to enjoy the beach, boat rentals, the Fun Zone, and resort activities, but distant enough to feel like your own private lakeside retreat.
Guests often say they love the "hidden" feel of the Fox Den — a quiet sanctuary after a day of lakeside excitement.
