About this property
Family-Friendly Lakeside Resort-like Home for Reunions, Retreats & Large Groups
This lodge is waiting for you and your family!
Come and join us for three levels of executive comfort on a private, 37-acre spring-fed lake. This is a wonderful location for a family vacation, reunion, retreats, and more.
Lake Amenities Include:
- Boat Dock: Jump off the dock and swim, float on a raft and enjoy the lake.
- Boat House: plenty of life jackets for everyone
- Lake: spring fed, crystal clear water, abundant fishing, canoes, and kayaks for your use. No gas motors on the lake, just peace and quiet!
After a relaxing day on the lake, perhaps you would like to challenge a family member to a game of disc golf on our 9-hole course?
Or get the clubs and balls out and do some Scottish style chipping?
Bring your bikes and ride around the lake or up in the woods, or hike in our 342 acres, photograph wildlife, pack a picnic and explore.
We also have a Fire Pit with room for everyone (we supply the firewood!)
All space is flexible to meet the needs of your family or group.
Lodge Main Floor Rooms:
- Red Bud bedroom: comfortable queen bed with built-ins, 2 sets of homemade bunk beds, and an adjoining, private full bathroom with shower.
- Walnut bedroom: comfortable king size bed or 2 twins (your choice) and beautiful built-in cabinetry with a shared bath (across the hall).
- Cedar bedroom: comfortable queen bed with a set of handmade bunk beds with a shared bath (down the hall).
- Dogwood Room includes a queen bed and a set of handmade bunk beds.
- Gathering Room: piano, couches, chairs, and a unique design with perfect places for conversation or to catch up on your reading.
- Great Room: open, spacious area that is multi-functional. Tables and chairs can be set up for dinner, crafts, movies, and games. Plenty of room for everyone in your party to stretch out.
- Sunroom: plenty of comfy chairs and room on the floor for kids to play with a beautiful lake views on three sides. This is the perfect place to reflect with your morning coffee!
- Main Kitchen: large island, a Jenn-Aire stove top, double oven, microwave, and large refrigerator, dishwasher, completely stocked with dishes, utensils, cookware, glassware, etc. You only need to provide the groceries!
Just a few steps away from Main Kitchen:
- Sunroom Kitchen: stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. Completely stocked with everything (except the groceries) you need to entertain up to 32 guests. Seating available for up to 32.

Lodge 2nd Floor:
- Oak bedroom: comfortable queen size bed, and raised queen sized futon, shower, double vanity, and toilet.
- Loft: outside of the Oak bedroom is a perfect spot for a family 'slumber party': room for cots, mattresses, and sleeping bags. A great place for movie time with the family and has a queen futon and a couch.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Julie Swallow

David and Marie Hazell lived in Russia for eight years working on Bible translation. In 1992, shortly after communist walls began to fall, they moved their family to the depths of Siberia where they assisted with printing the first Scripture portion in the Evenki language. David and Marie also served in Moscow, coordinating translation projects in 70 minority languages of the former Soviet Union. The family's move back to the United States in 2000 marked a new era in their support of international missions work as they now devote their time to starting businesses that promote the principles of the Kingdom of God including giving a majority of company profits to Bible translation and other worthy non-profit endeavors. Please consider helping them with this endeavor at God's Word for the Nations (gwftn.org).
Why they chose this property
Kabekona Hills Retreat Center was established to provide a peaceful place for retreats, and family reunions. The owner's grandfather had a dream of owning property that could provide weary Christian soldiers (pastors, missionaries, and Christian laymen) solitude on lakeside property where they could rest in the hand of the Eternal Creator. Purchasing property in Northern Minnesota on Lake Kabekona, grandfather Bratrud shared his find with many Lutheran preachers and his land became respectfully known by many as preacher's point. Now two generations later with seed money from the sale of the family cabin on Lake Kabekona, we desire to carry on grandfather's dream to establish a peaceful resting place and a place of celebration for those who serve God's Kingdom. Kabekona Hills Retreat Center is a place 'where one road ends and the adventure begins.' Come and rest in the hand of the Creator.
What makes this property unique
The drive in is breathtaking! The property offers privacy and seclusion. Quiet, beautiful views, nature all around!
