About this property

Year Around Cabin...

HOUSE RULES: (Note: Max of 6 adults for overnight stays, including children) - No large gatherings or parties allowed. **Discount for weekly & monthly stays**

Super clean newly renovated year around 2+ bedroom (upstairs), full basement ranch style lake home tucked up on a small hill overlooking Island Lake, ON A BACK LOT. It’s less than 500 feet to the public access where you will find a nice well-kept boat landing (with free DNR public access parking) and it also has a small beach for public swimming in the summer. In the winter it has plowed roads on and off the lake for ice fishing. Arrangements can be made for special plowing on lake in winter for ice houses. Contact us for pricing. (Avg. $100)

The cabin has a “L” shaped wraparound deck, to enjoy the sounds of nature and watch the sunset. We have a large private fire pit area right out the cabin's door for making smores and telling stories.

We are surrounded by wildlife; lots of mature trees & around many trails, used by bird hunters, ATV’s and snowmobilers. Island Lake is full of many fish – boating, kayakers & canoers enjoy this lake in the summer/fall months & ice fishing, 4 wheeling and snowmobiling are very popular in the winter months ... We offer a 2 person kayak, 2 paddles, kayak carrier and 2 adult life jackets for use with the cabin - we are not responsible for personal injuries using the kayak.

The cabin has two levels. (Steps to get in cabin & grass/ground around our property may be unleveled - Please use caution) The main floor features a living room with a full size couch and 2+ chairs. The kitchen, is equipped with filtered water spout, drinking, eating/cooking utensils, drip coffee maker w/ filters, toaster, baking sheets, pots and pans along with a dining table, enough seating for 6-7 people. We DO NOT provide an iron or an ironing board - Please plan accordingly. Also on the main floor is the bathroom, with toilet, step up tub/shower, along with a nice vanity. Cabin has Well water and septic. All the linens /towels are provided and cleaned for the kitchen, bed, & bath. Bedroom #1 has a queen size sleep number bed and bedroom #2 has a full size / twin size combo bunk bed, and an extra twin foam mattress on floor under the bunk beds for use. we have open stairs. For safety, you will need to bring your own gate for small children. We outfit the cabin with a few adult/children's games, books & magazines & don't forget the VHS/DVD collection if you want to snuggle up and watch movies! We offer Dish Network, 1 Roku stick & high-speed internet. The lower level features an electric fireplace in the living room which has a full size couch & futon. The Den has a full size softer style bed. (Ideal for 1) (2 small windows, NOTE: no egress window in this room). There is also a large tiled storage / laundry room equipped with a washer and dryer. Outside, the deck wraps around so you can watch the sunset and listen to the wildlife. We supply a few chairs for sitting and 2 lounge chairs plus a black stone griddle/BBQ gas combo grill. Please bring your own outdoor blankets and towels for lakes fun & swimming. Towels/blankets we provide are to be used “indoors”

A Winter stay is the quietest time of the year (most other cabins on the lake are seasonal - this cabin is year around, with new windows and doors) . Since we are so close to the public access, getting on and off the ice is a breeze. We do offer plowing if needed for ice houses. (Contact for pricing. avg. $100+) With snowmobile trails close by guests can hop right on their snowmobiles for a day on the trails. ATVs are welcome here as well and with our small tuck under garage and shed to store them in at night, it couldn’t be easier. In the Summer and Fall Months, Itasca State Park, is around 25 miles away – it has breath taking views with many walking and bike trails. They rent bikes, kayaks, boats and other water toys. This is a must see!

If you’re in the mood for someone else to cook for you and want to have a few drinks, there is a bar/restaurant (Ruff Grouse Roadhouse) less than a mile down the road. They also have 6 pm Bingo on Monday and Friday Nights and offer 30+ slot machines for a little gambling. (Since Covid some area bars/Restaurants have changed in services/hours/activities - an info listing on nearby restaurants and stores are located in the house binder) This cabin is ready for family memories for years to come!

Beautiful, Child Friendly Retreat
We found this by chance and are so happy we did. They had everything we needed for a smooth vacation and the kids loved it. The fire pit was a great touch and the kayak was a definite plus. 10/10 we’ll be back for sure.

Big brother is watching
The living quarters were clean, and very very nice. Beds were comfortable! But, on the downside, was taken aback when after I booked, and paid in full a non refundable payment, we got an email with 13, yes, 13 pages of further instructions about the cabin, in clouding that we should NOT drink the well water, and that we might be charged for excessive electricity used. I understand concerns about safety and liability, and not being taken advantage of by a renter… but the only time we got a prompt response, was when I wanted to use the kayak we were told we could use. There was notes and instructions on everything which was partially helpful, but it really was overkill…… I felt uncomfortable to use anything provided and felt spied on! When,as a joke, my son-in-law covered the camera a “friendly” neighbor crushed by three times, asking about the cabin, and how we liked it. I felt uncomfortable also inviting family to come visit with all the rules and notes. A caution, as an older person there was stairs everywhere and the steps were irregular, and different sizes, not up to safety code.

Great Spot
We stayed here while in town visiting family. The house was perfect for the three of us and had room for more if we needed. The new split ac/heat system works great and helped take the chill out of the air. From the home you can see the lake and there is a place to eat as you enter the neighborhood.

Cozy and just what we were looking for.
Spent a few days over the 4th of July Holiday. We went biking in a couple of the parks that were a short drive away. We also went hiking, canoeing, and swimming right at Island lake. At night, we enjoyed making smores on the campfire, and during the day, grilling on the provided Blackstone. Julie was great to work with!

Amazing!!!!!
Rented out the lake house for 13 weeks for my travel nursing job in Fosston MN. This property doesn’t disappoint! A home away from home! Owners are just minutes away and are very prompt with any questions that need answering. For sure will be back, and sad I couldn’t stay longer! Wonderful for Kayaking/boating and the lake is feet away from your front door, good restaurants within minutes. Friendly hometown lake house community!

Thanksgiving Trip
We came to visit family for the Thanksgiving holiday and needed somewhat to stay locally. We usually stay at the hotel in Fosston, but wanted to have someone more comfortable with as many people as we have. We looked online and found this cabin for almost the same price as the hotel. The rooms were all as stated online. The home was clean and stocked ready for us! They even left cookies and coffee! The home had a nice size yard for the kids to play as well. They even got to make a small snowman! During the stay if I needed anything I text Julie and she was prompt to reply. We enjoyed the stay and recommend the home to anyone looking for a place to stay! We will definitely be back ourselves!

Home away from home!
Beautiful home and everything needed was there. Weather was cool, but toasty warm inside and I loved it. Due to a family emergency of brother on hospice I had to leave 2days early and brother and friend couldn't join me as planned at all, & I didn't get to enjoy the full weekend but loved the time I was there and very happy I have this cabin booked for 2 more 4 day weekends this summer. Makes me happy, and hoping to finally meet Julie in person. Thanks Julie!

September Getaway for Two
Julie was the perfect host - she stayed in touch with all the necessary info, good follow up but not intrusive. The cabin was exactly as promised. It was a great "home base" for my husband and myself for our September get away to visit 6 state parks in NW Minnesota over several days. The cabin had everything we needed, it was very clean, and we really appreciated the full size bathroom!

About the host

Hosted by Julie jenson

Host profile image
My husband I and have owned this property for about 20+ years. We lived here for a short time around 10 years ago but used it as our vacation home while our kids were younger. We have totally remodeled it over the years and love the lake. We live in Bagley, MN which is around 12 miles away.

Why they chose this property

The property is on a back lot, but is very close to the public access. We now offer a 2 person kayak to use while on the property for you to enjoy the views on the lake. It's a nice quite cabin tucked up on a small hill over looking the lake. We offer a deck and a large fire pit.
