About this property

Serene Cabin Retreat with Stunning Views, Fishing, and Private Lake Access.

Unwind in this charming cabin, nestled in nature’s beauty, complete with a large deck offering breathtaking views. Spend your days fishing or swimming in the pristine waters, or enjoy the tranquility of the small, private lake adorned with peaceful lily pads. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, this secluded escape provides the perfect setting to reconnect with nature and recharge. This cabin get away is set on Big Pine Lake with amazing views of the water and sunsets from the large, lofted deck. There is also a small private lake behind property which is wonderful for private fishing. It's only 2 hours north of the twin cities near Brainerd. The fishing is great right off either dock. We have 2 docks: one on the Big Pine Lake and one on the small lake. You can catch Sun fish, Crappies, small mouth Bass, and Northern Pike on both lakes. On Big Pine Lake water is about 2 feet at entry and is nice and clear for swimming. You can bring your own boat; public access is down the road. A Rowboat, kayaks and paddle board are available to use on the lakes. In addition to the lakes, there is lots of wilderness to explore (30 acres). The Master Bedroom has a king size bed new flat screen TV. Master bathroom has a shower and separate jetted tub. Bedroom 2 has a queen bed. Bedroom 3 has a queen and bunkbeds. Fire pit yes! Our son cut firewood for all and accepts donations. And the kitchen is stocked with all the cooking essentials. Propane Grill on the deck. Amazing views and memories to be made.

About the host

Host profile image
We bought this property in 2015 and it has been quite the project getting is renter ready. The first thing we did for safety was tear down the old partially burnt down cabin in front. You can probably see where it was from the deck. We have been thru 7 dumpsters cleaning up that land. We are a family of 6. The kids have really helped us a lot. We have another property on Big Pine Lake close by in case you need anything or there are major concerns. But that being said we also respect our renters privacy.

Why they chose this property

This is just a really beautiful lot that we plan on building more on later as our family grows. And we have been coming to Big Pine Lake since we were children. It is our second home.

What makes this property unique

I think the most unique thing we have to offer is that small lake/pond that we call black lake. It is very deep and we have caught some dinosaur looking fish. That being said it is catch and release only!!!
