AND THE BAD NEWS IS:
I have to raise my rates. It's been nine years since I have done this, but the time has finally come. Due to the insane cost of every single thing, the punishing cost of energy and the bloodthirsty increases in my property tax, I am left no choice. This increase, of course, will not apply to the many folks who have already booked in advance.
My new rate will be a minimum of $200/night, which will cover up to four guests. Additional guests will be charged $50/person/night. There will be 10% added to the total bill to cover state sales and county lodging taxes.

Comfortable year-round, completely furnished home on 135' Rainy River Frontage on calm bay, with large private deep water dock. {1/2 mile to Public Boat Landing}
This is a very old house - nothin' fancy, a fishing cabin on the river with a lot of wear and tear. If you're looking for something freshly remodeled with knotty pine, this is NOT it. There are plenty of those for you to choose from. Also, the dead cat is not for sale. Please quit asking.
Huge deck, outdoor screened sitting room, great views of Rainy River and Canada.
I now have WiFi in the cabin.
The water comes from a well. It is very hard water and there is a lot of iron in it-something to consider before washing any whites. I wash all of the towels and linens off-site. Some people bring their own water to drink. I drink from the well and I'm still alive. Take that for what it's worth. I drink it but I don't vouche for it. Some people simply drink beer the entire time. Whatever works.
If there's bait in the freezer, you're welcome to use it.
Due to insurance reasons, I no longer have a fireplace. My insurance company also suggested (demanded) I build a railing on the deck, so I did. I have not uploaded recent photos so just look at the photos above and picture a railing around the deck.

It has been scientifically proven, through exhaustive clinical testing, that it is good luck to leave booze in the cabin.
