Sturgeon Landing is a small, private resort on the very popular Sturgeon River chain of lakes that specifically caters to family reunions, multi-family vacations, and all other large groups (ie. scrapbooking, book club, corporate retreat, etc.). This beautiful property boasts four separate cabins, a large and newly remodeled lodge and screen house, full laundry facilities, and a fitness room - all air conditioned and all yours! We do not rent individual cabins. RENTAL PERIOD IS FRIDAY - THURSDAY.

Located just 20 miles north of Hibbing, Minnesota, this incredible property provides our visitors with the entire resort property and complete water access to all five lakes on the chain and just a ¼ mile away from McCarthy State Beach, one of the best public beaches in the state! Whether you come for swimming, fishing, water skiing, tubing, hiking and ATV trails, the scenery, or prefer just sitting in a chair and reading a book, you will not be disappointed. Deep water landing located right next door for those guests that want to bring their own boats/pontoons - dock space included with every rental. Don't have a boat? Sturgeon Landing has a pontoon boat that is available to be rented for any portion of your stay. We also offer a sunset tour (with beer and snacks) of the lakes for up to 10 guests on our 26ft pontoon. If interested in either inquire with Matt!

Sturgeon Landing is a great place to stay
We had a group of 16 people with ages ranging from 21 months to 89 years young! They supply almost anything you can think of. A great location and property. We had a fabulous time and will be coming back. Everyone had enough space to roam around freely, sit at the lakeshore, play games, swim and fish. Highly recommend.

Side Lake Rental
Side Lake property checked many of the boxes that our family looks for in a vacation rental. We enjoyed all of the spaces. The cabins were roomy enough for all our families and came with many of the things that you would need. The kitchen and game area was a great asset to hang out in as a whole group. Being so close to McCarthy Beach was a lot of fun. We enjoyed some of the many UTV trails in the area. we were able to catch fish in the area lakes. Look forward to next year!!!

Fabulous
My brother rented this place for my mom, siblings and their families! We traveled all the way from Alaska for this and it did not disappoint! Wow! Where do I begin! So much fun and such a relaxing place to be! Matt and Cj are excellent hosts! The cabins and lodge are amazing:-) very clean. There is laundry on site for those who like to wash clothes while on vacation! We had so much fun on the pontoon and then going over to the beach to swim! The kids had a great time fishing from the dock also. Our nightly gatherings around the fire pit did not disappoint. The younger kids also had a playground, older kids played volleyball ect. I could go on and on. The lodge is great to get together to eat, play pool, ping pong, goose ball, or board games. Such an amazing place for large gatherings. Thank you so much Matt and Cj!
