Great Family Cabin Week

The cabin is spacious, well-kept and accommodated our family quite well. We especially liked the enclosed sunroom, great deck, huge kitchen and dining room table and the fish clean room. We enjoyed several water activites- kayaking, fishing off the dock, swimming, boating and the entire lake view. The weed roller was a big plus ! The grandkids loved the sandbox and the lily pad as well.. Thank you for sharing your lake cabin - we had a wonderful time.

Family vacation

The property gave us plenty of room for our family. Nice sand area for our granddaughter to play. Nice deck - the patio tables could use umbrellas to protect from the sun / while enjoying the view. Cody was very helpful.

Great for family rental

This rental worked out so well for our family, we had bedrooms for each of our adult children . We loved the fire table on the deck and used this often and thoroughly enjoyed the tiki bar for evenings of games!

Great Lake time and family time

Plenty of room for the family, tons of games both indoors and out available. Just about everything you need in the kitchen is there. The dock and electric winch for the boat lift were amazing. We caught bass, pan fish and northerns. The water is so clear and was amazing to swim in. Enjoy!!

About the host

Hosted by Cody Olson

I was born and raised in central Minnesota. We always enjoyed camping, water skiing, fishing and just being outside. I began doing maintenance on this cabin for a close family friend. That developed into a great friendship between multiple families. I was able to purchase the property in 2022. We look forward to making new memories here for years to come.

Why they chose this property

We were lucky to be able to purchase this property in 2022. We wanted it within 2-3 hours of home so we could enjoy it as much as possible during both the summer and winter. The area is fantastic. The fishing is fantastic in the area, there is an abundance of bike, snowmobile, and hiking trails. Close access to Arrowwood Resort, fairgrounds, racetrack, winery, breweries. The town is quaint, but big enough to have everything you need to enjoy your trip.

What makes this property unique

We love the big wide windows facing the lake covering most of the dining room and living room walls. When the kitchen was remodeled, another opening was made to be able to view the lake. Our favorite spot is the deck, especially to watch the sunsets - they are priceless. No pets or smoking on the property.
