Vacation rentals in Minnesota

The cabin was beautiful! It was private and we felt like we were removed from everything. We were able to relax and recharge. We were left great ideas for hiking, food, and sightseeing. We would love to book it again!

This lovely place was equipped with everything we needed. Towels were new and of good quality, the kitchen had a Keurig and a drip coffee maker with a great selection of ground coffees, there were fresh, local eggs in the frig, and candy snacks in a jar. Joanne thought of everything! The beds were so comfortable and it was quiet at night. We appreciated Joanne’s flexibility in letting us have a late check-out our last morning so that we enjoy our morning on the deck overlooking the lake.

I booked this at the last moment. Needed to get away alone to decompress and recharge. That is exactly what I did. The cutest cabin with everything you need. The hosts were amazing, prompt to answer questions. Easy check in. Private and serene. I used the sauna, fire pit and just got lost in thought walking around the beautiful nature. Couldn’t hear any neighbors, you would have thought you were alone. It had everything I needed and more. Looking out the window with the beautiful water and natural surroundings, made this heart of mine happy. I would highly recommend either alone or a few people. Myself being alone, I felt safe at all times. If you get a chance and need to unwind do it!

Our stay at Amy’s place was wonderful. We had a wedding to attend in Osakis at Crooked Willow and the drive was easy. My parents stayed with us and my dad and I fished off the dock. The setting was beautiful, the accommodations were clean and comfortable, and we had a wonderful stay. We would definitely recommend this place to others and would stay here again ourselves. Thanks Amy and Ben.

Amazing didn’t want to leave! What a gem on the North Shore. The views and sounds of the waves were everything I wanted and more. The floor to ceiling windows don’t disappoint. I will be back. Very clean and cozy.

Perfect vacation spot for two. The home was clean, inviting and well-appointed. We enjoyed the hot tub, comfy recliners and luxe bed. It felt peaceful and intimate, yet we were just a short walk from live music and other resort amenities. Nearby Nisswa was fun to visit as well. We've already booked our next stay at this gem!

Our stay at Agua Norte was absolutely amazing! We stayed in the Loft and loved the space. It’s exactly as described and the property is even more beautiful than the pictures. So close to the town and other great things to do but feels very private and secluded. It is a shared property but still feels private with each space. We loved it so much we didn’t even do all the adventuring we planned because we just loved being there! The Sauna was also wonderful, easy to book, and had a stunning view. We would absolutely come back!

We had a great, relaxing vacation. The owners live RIGHT next door, so if you are looking for a place with privacy, this place is not for you. David was around and helpful if needed but not overbearing. If you are looking for a place to relax on the Lake, this would be a good place. David has a dog named Mesa, and we enjoyed it when she visited us and wanted to play catch.

David gave us excellent directions which was very helpful as his cabin is secluded in the woods at the end of Six Mile Lake. When we arrived and saw the outside of the old log cabin, the large fire pit and view of the lake we were thrilled. It is just lovely. Once inside we again were very happy to see the authenticity of the place. The kitchen is so fun with its retro appliances. The living room had a comfortable sofa and two old chairs. On the wall next to the stairs that went to the loft were two bunk beds. The loft was extremely roomy with a comfortable queen bed (just a little firm), dressers and a large chair with ottoman. The bathroom on the lower level had the old claw and foot tub with a nice shower head. This place is loaded with whatever you would need although you may have to do a little searching. The only concern was that our small dog could fall through the loft stairs as there are no risers so just be careful there. Beautiful dock with five canoes!

A beautiful yard and unique cabin, peaceful place

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful little getaway on the river! Our host was very responsive and accommodating. The cabin was immaculate and wonderfully decorated. We will definitely be back again!

We just stayed for a week (this was our second family trip to this place) and our family loves it. Amazing views of the lake and shore, feels very private, and an overall cozy/comfortable place for a get-away. The main floor is quite creaky when you walk on it, which can be loud if someone is up later or earlier than others, but that’s the only “negative” about this place. It’s not that bad, but worth mentioning. Everything else is excellent though. And the location is hard to beat. I would highly recommend a family trip here.

Such a cute little space! It had everything we needed while staying. Pam and Rob did a great job of turning an old boathouse into a unique and fun space to stay. We would definitely stay again if we return to the Cross Lake area.

Ann was extremely communicative & sent me a text the evening before our arrival. The home was easy to find & more beautiful in person than the photos could capture! It was stocked with toiletries & kitchen staples. The property is on its own small beach & it’s about a 1 mile walk on the ATV trail across the hwy to Fika coffee. We brought our bikes and enjoyed riding on the back country roads & trails. This property is dog friendly, as well, which really makes it a gem in our opinion!

This is such a whimsical and charming cabin to stay in. The host provided wonderful communication before the stay and provided resources for recreational and dinning in the area. The property was clean and stocked with many comforts and necessities. Would recommend this for a family to enjoy or anyone looking for a charming getaway. Very recommended!

Was the most amazing spot!! Hosts were so kind and friendly as well, and everything is within a very quick drive! Would absolutely recommend. That view was the best part of the trip by far.

this was the perfect stay for my best friend and I! I will be back with my husband! peaceful, tranquil, it was perfect. thank you!

Had a wonderful extended weekend stay at this cabin in Ely! The location was close enough to town to go into for dinner or to get coffee in the mornings, but remote enough to feel really cozy and relaxed. The cabin itself was very comfortable, clean and spacious and all of the instructions left were extremely helpful! I would highly recommend this place as a nice weekend (or longer) getaway, and I would definitely return:)

Fun and unique stay and very close to Grand Marais. Would recommend for those looking for a secluded cabin experience!

The week at Lee's place was incredibly peaceful. The cabin is on a small lake, a widening of the Vermillion River. Much of the shoreline is undeveloped. Kayaking on the river as far as we could go was wonderful (eventually it gets too narrow.). We saw different species of birds, ducks, loons, a pair of swans, a woodchuck, and deer. The backyard is roomy and flat for playing games. The cabin is much more spacious than we pictured. The great room has plenty of room to visit, cook, and eat. The furniture is comfortable and we enjoyed a few days of catching up on our reading in the recliner chairs. The porch is lovely for watching the lake. and the bedroom is large. We loved the old wood doors and old school wooden cabin feel that remind us of the cabins of our childhood. We highly recommend the cabin.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this cabin! It was fully equipped with everything we needed and more—every detail was thoughtfully considered. The location was perfect: peaceful, scenic, and close to everything we wanted to explore. The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated, making it feel like a true home away from home. The amenities were top-notch, and the views were simply breathtaking. Whether we were relaxing inside or enjoying the outdoors, everything was just perfect. The hosts were incredibly attentive and responsive, making sure we had a seamless experience from start to finish. Highly recommend—this place exceeded all our expectations!

We really enjoyed our space and all the little details that were so thoughtfully added. The kitchen had everything we needed as did the bathroom and all the bedrooms. The kids loved the loft area. Thank you!

A very cozy and private retreat. It was a great place to get away and unplug for a weekend.

10/10 would come here again. I booked a small birthday getaway here and visited Itasca State park. Eric was very prepared for us with clear instructions on checking in and out. The process of booking and staying was easy. Loved this place so much! Thank you for a great stay!
