Peaceful Retreat!

We loved our time at Kabekona Hills! The lake and surrounding area are beyond beautiful! Everything you could need to have fun on the water is available to use. Beautiful sunsets, fun hikes! We have already planned our next trip!

2nd time staying

We brought our family back again for another vacation. The group of 13 all enjoyed the stay and none of us wanted to leave! It was even better than the first time we stayed with the added hot tub and outdoor lights/patio couch. They provide almost everything you could need and give you privacy and respect. The kids love swimming in the lake and we enjoyed one day out on the pontoon. We already booked for next year and can’t wait! Thanks for having us. You truly have a magical property! We even considered moving up the big house for next year but all agreed we love the vibe at the barn!

Weekend stay

The property is beautiful. The owner was helpful and so was the property manager. Any issue or question was immediately addressed. This was our 2nd stay at this location. This time around there were hardly any durable kitchen utensils to use, nor did they have any towels or dish rags for the kitchen downstairs. Also, we didn't bring a hairdryer because one was listed in the amenities. Could not find one anywhere. It seemed to be just leftover items that people forgot at this point. Last year was totally different. Although they do have a kayak, paddleboards, etc., you do have to share them with the house next door. I feel that for the price you pay, you should have your own items to use. Not as happy with this trip as we were last year.

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.
