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.
