About this property

Log Cabin on Private Lakefront - Thunder Lake

New furnishings and renovations including refinished floors, granite countertop and stainless appliances. Feel free to reach out with questions about this magnificent vacation destination.

Welcome to the lake! Authentic log cabin sits just feet from beautiful Thunder Lake on a 2-acre heavily wooded lot at the end of the road. You will be centered around privacy. Our Mystic cabin is truly an up north paradise perfect for your family vacation, couples, or friends’ getaways.

Cabin exists for guests as its sole purpose. This is not a weekend residence that doubles as a short-term rental. This property is managed for your comfort and convenience. We have installed a water purifier system for clean drinking water, as well as a water softener, and new mattresses/pillows/linens/towels are provided. It is our goal that every guest looks forward to another visit!

Cabin sleeps 6 comfortably yet managing 8 is certainly doable. One bedroom with a king size bed and an open loft containing 2 queen size beds, one full size futon, and 2 child size futon beds (toddler size beds).

Living room has a wood burning fireplace to warm the cold evenings, and a TV is provided with Fire Stick. The dining room table seats 6 and breakfast bar seats 3. Large covered porch is great for outdoor seating.

Sunny days and sunsets, property boasts a west facing sandy shoreline just steps from the cabin where you will enjoy daily activities including campfires, swimming, fishing, and beautiful sunsets to wind down your day.

We promise you will love your time at the lake!

Activities to enjoy:

Bring your own boat! We provide a boat lift (Maximum length 18’ beam 94” weight loaded 2,000 lbs.). Public boat launch is a convenient 1-mile trip from the cabin. A pedal boat, canoe, and two kayaks are provided for guests use. If being social on the water is your thing, boat over to the community sand bar where there is always a fun crowd to hang with.

Thunder Lake offers many activities, all your water sports limited by your imagination.

Thunder Lake is a premier regional walleye and bass lake. Although walleyes are a challenging quarry, you are often rewarded with a nice catch and walleye dinner when the conditions are right. Some of the best early season walleye and bass fishing is from your private dock. In the Fall, a little bird hunting by day and chasing big walleyes at sunset/sunrise when the big girls are biting.

Many off lake adventures and entertainment await beginning with kid-friendly weekly Longville Turtle races (every Wednesday), ATV to local festivals or try a different trail each day, golf options or fish some smaller local lakes in the area.

For the ATV crowd, the first trail head is only 1 mile from the cabin, plus the Moose River Trail, Soo Line, and Emily/Outing trails. All trails connect to the Soo Line where endless miles await. NOTE: Property ATV restrictions (operating times/parking/noise & speeds) aimed at respecting our neighbors and others enjoying their vacation and weekends. Must sign ATV agreement prior to check-in.

For the winter crowd, this is a snowmobile paradise right out your front door. The lake access to trails takes you throughout Cass & Crow Wing counties and beyond. If snowmobiling isn’t your thing, set up your fish house within sight of the cabin.

Pets are currently not allowed on the property.
Minimum renter age is 26.
No campers or tents allowed on the property.

It is very important to us that we respect our neighbors and residents on our private street. Fireworks are not allowed at any time, firearms are not allowed on the property, including in parked vehicles regardless of permit. Hunting season exceptions with prior approval. Courtesy volume reduction from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. each day.

Safety is important to us. Guests are responsible for ensuring that life jackets be used when necessary. Hosts will have some life jackets available; however, it is the Guests responsibility to ensure proper use and fit is appropriate for the size and age. For children, it is requested that Guests bring their own to ensure the proper fit requirements are met.

ATV restrictions: Park in designated area only, no aftermarket exhaust systems, all ATV’s/UTV’s must be licensed with copies of registration provided prior to check-in, slow travel on private road (20 mph) and on Thunder Lake Drive. The numerous trails in the area represent ample opportunity to have fun, we just have a simple ask that everyone keep the big fun on the trails.

Excellent getaway
This was a perfect spot for a getaway for my husband and I. It was remote and quiet and a very nice place to stay. There would have been room for kids or guest to stay in the loft. It had everything we needed for our weekend away.

Perfect getaway
We spent a week at the house/cabin and it was truly a pleasure. We found everything listed to be accurate. Moreover the house was clean and comfortable. The property was organized and everything meticulously maintained. The location was quiet and peaceful - a perfect getaway. We also noticed there were several small, but appreciated gestures such as scent free detergent and coffee creamer cups provided. This stay really perfects not just the big things but embellishes the small personal touches that make a stay truly extraordinary. Bob and Nicole were fantastic hosts and we hope to lodge at their place again!

Great Cabin, But Not a Peaceful Lake
Let me start with the positive aspects: This cabin was accurately advertised and is a nice structure—well built, well appointed, modern, and clean. The owners are easy to communicate with. However, I would not recommend this cabin if you want a peaceful, private, and relaxing place to chill in the Northwoods. Thunder Lake is a busy lake with lots of jet skis, party pontoons, and boats blasting loud and obnoxious music. Perhaps this is only an issue in the middle of Summer? I was looking for a quiet retreat to read, write, and meditate, and this lake was definitely not it. The cabin is also not very private, with another house immediately next to it, and you can see and hear people coming and going all the time. Again, I do not feel that this cabin was misadvertised in any way by the owners. It would be a great place if you are looking to have a great time with a bunch of people and perhaps are one of those out on the lake with your powerboat blasting loud music yourself. If you want peace and quiet and solitude, this is not the place for you.

Beautiful Cabin!
My family greatly enjoyed staying at this cabin! Beautiful view on a level lot, just steps away from the lake. I have stayed at many VRBOs and this one is excellent! Attention to every detail and very clean! Owners were very kind and easy to reach with any requests! Highly recommend staying at this cabin :)

Excellent cabin in every way!
We spent three nights at this property during the peak of fall color in the area, and it was awesome! Almost anything you might possibly expect from a “cabin-on-the-lake” experience is available here. We Star-gazed, watched loons swim by the dock, enjoyed a bonfire on the shore, read books in front of the fireplace, grilled out, baked cookies, canoed along the lakeshore, fished for bass, and hosted relatives who dropped by from Brainerd for the day. If we had been here during the summer months, we could have enjoyed the lake even more. The hosts (Nicole and Bob, who live right next door but respect their guests’ privacy), were easy to communicate with and very responsive to our questions both before and during our stay. They also take great pride in their property and the condition of the place showed it. This place is ideal for small families (4-6 people) or couples who want a clean, quiet, well-appointed lakeside cabin experience. One thing I would note for future guests — the nearest grocery store is a good 20-plus minutes away, so plan accordingly. We had a couple of day excursions planned ahead of time, but we could have spent our entire time there without leaving the cabin. We hope to be back next summer.

Peaceful escape
We couldn't have found a better lake house to enjoy our family vacation, not to mention my husband's birthday. It was beautiful inside and out. The use of the kyaks and other water crafts just added to the experience. Bob and Nicole were great hosts, they answered all our questions in a timely manner, and even gave us suggestions on things to do for the kids in the area. My kids and grandkids are already taking about our return to Thunder Lake.

Beautiful place and excellent hospitality!
The cabin was beautiful, spacious and perfectly equipped. The remote location and view of the lake from both the inside and outdoor spaces was so peaceful and relaxing. The games inside, and great private dock and sandy beach meant every minute could be packed with fun for our kids! Great fishing lake. The hosts were great at communicating and their hospitality was wonderful! Our whole family felt welcome and like we had our own little spot of MN lake side paradise for our home-away-from home!
