About this property
Luxury lakeside cabin: massage, reflexology, lakeside sauna. Wheelchair access.
Luxury lakeside cabin near Itasca Park: massage, reflexology, lakeside sauna. Wheelchair friendly.
The base rate calculates for 1-2 PEOPLE (adults & kids both count) to help make this cabin best deal for a couple or individual wanting some space to get-away. Families/groups welcome - just make sure to put in accurate number of peeps when inquiring. Up to 17 with extra person chrgs.) May, Sept, October & November only.
Run away and decompress a bit at our 4 bedroom/2 bathroom luxury cabin on a lake (2,250 sq ft). You deserve it. Snooze in the recliner next to a crackling fire. Get relaxed in a warm jetted Jacuzzi bathtub soak. Try out some recipes you've been wanting to play with in the fully equipped kitchen.
This cabin sits about 30 feet above lake level for a spectacular view of 11th Crow Wing Lake - voted in top ten cleanest lakes in the state by Discover the Cities (headwaters of Crow Wing lakes and river system, first scenic canoe byway in the state).
Two miles from tiny town of Akeley (birthplace of Paul Bunyan), with two convenience stores, shopping and dining, this cabin is nestled into forest with endless bird and critter watching (loons, eagles, chipmunks, deer, fox, mink, porcupine, woodpeckers, flying squirrels, etc.)
A private campfire ring overlooking lake allows for stargazing, s'more sharing and tall tale tellin'.
Guests can use amenities of resort for FREE: lakeside SAUNA, beach (200 feet long), paddle boats, canoes, kayaks, Stand Up Paddleboards, basketball court, horseshoe pits, on-site hiking trails, on-site massage therapist and on-site reflexologist, etc. Lodge closes down for season around October 1, but owners live on-site for information/support and the grounds are available to wander upon any time of season.
Bring your own fishing boat (easy cement boat ramp) or rent one of the resort's fishing boats/pontoons) May-September. Newer steps directly to lake and dock.
Bring your bicycle or roller blades - the scenic Heartland paved bike trail is 2 miles away.
ATV trails are within 2 miles, no need to trailer up.
-Disabled Access
-BIG dining room tables to scrap book and play games (board games, cards, library)
-TV/VCR/DVD in living room upstairs (no cable - use for movies/games only)
-Wood burning stone fireplace (+electric baseboard heaters in each room)
-Dishwasher
-A/C in each bedroom (4) (plus two ceiling fans, and two desk fans)
-Coin-Op washer & dryer (bring quarters!)
-Wrap-around deck with lots of extra deck furniture
-Private campfire ring
-Parking: 1 space directly next to cement wheelchair ramp, 2 spaces parallel to driveway down to cabin, and 4 spaces (including room for a trailer) in extra loop of driveway west of cabin near well house

About the host
Hosted by Kim & Big John Bowen
We built this cabin in 2003 with help from my folks (whose taste ran a little more fancy than my budget wished, but . . . ) :) There is a bio page about da big guy and me on our website crowwingDOTcom.
(2025 will be our 25th year in resorting up north. Prior to that, we managed 111 apartments in Newton, Iowa.)
I have taught Green Cleaning classes for the Community of Minnesota Resorts (CMR) during last 20 years. We use unscented non-toxic laundry soap on bed linens, provide chemical-free dish soap and bathroom foaming hand soap in cabins. Staff and guests appreciate our use of organic/all natural cleaning products (Thieves, Force of Nature, Dr. Bronner's, Ecos, 7th Generation, etc.) We do lots of recycling and various other 'green' practices on the resort.
When Covid broke out in 2020, I was asked co-host a CMR class on cleaning practices. I spent hours and hours researching to share information found on CDC and EPA websites on approved non-toxic disinfectants which will work to mitigate Covid-19 (there are six recommended.) The resort has implemented numerous steps to deal with the current coronavirus environment. https://www.crowwing.com/covid-19-response-staysafe-initiative

Why they chose this property
Spring fed headwaters of chain of Crow Wing Lakes, hence water is 14' - 17' average clarity.
What makes this property unique
Free access to 200' long sandy beach and lots of water toys (paddle boats, canoes, kayaks, Stand Up Paddleboards, fun bugs, etc.) a hop, skip and jump away (about 300 feet from cabin).
Because we are also a family vacation resort, we have to meet health and safety codes on a continual basis. In other words, some homes rented by owners do not need to get their drinking water tested annually for toxins like we do, or get annual fire marshall and health department inspections like we do.
Also, our (your!) access to the lake shore (1100' linear feet) is larger than typical lake homes including a large beautiful, sandy beach with a plethora of play boats to borrow, maintained hiking trails, historic lodge with snack bar, arcade room, library and much more (rental motor boats, on-site spa stuff, etc.)
