Great

Hosts live next door. They are very friendly and will help if you forgot anything or something is missing…which there wasn’t. The place is really fully furnished. A dish rag and food is about all you need to bring.

Cozy Cottage

This little cottage was fine for my needs, very close to the boat launch, appliances worked well, tv is over the air only but the reception is fine. My only disappointment was the tiny shower, I’m a big guy so a 30 inch+/- shower is a tight squeeze.

Excellent stay!

Don and Shirley made our stay so smooth and easy! Coming from out of town my sister in law and I stayed at the cabin with our infants while our husbands camped close by with my older children, so we just needed a place to stay at night! It was absolutely perfect! Close to where we needed to be, super clean and cute! Would definitely go back!

fishing opener

This place is just what we needed for fishing opener. Very friendly owners that were there for anything that we needed. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Highly recommended if your looking for a little fishing get away. 5 blocks from the access and easy drive thru driveway for the boat. We will definitely be going back here again.

Going Fishing?

This cabin was clean but entirely to "busy". Too much stuff ie: pillows, chairs. utensils, bath supplies etc. Very kind and helpful owners live next door. Very close to fishing but not much privacy.

Highly Recommend

My wife and I had a great stay in Federal Dam. Shirley communicated immediately if I had any questions. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Shirley and Don are generous, friendly, and informative. We felt like we were part of their family and will definitely stay with them again.

What makes this property unique

This is a cabin used by many people who like to fish Leech Lake or go to one of the other lakes in the area. It is also used by people who just want to get away from the hustle bustle and enjoy a quieter pace and place. We are lucky to be close to some wonderful tourist hot spots. We want everyone that stays here to be comfortable, enjoy themselves and have a fun time.
