Escape to the lake in comfort at our hidden cabin in the woods close to activities like biking trails, fishing, golfing and Mt. Itasca only 15 minutes away.

Lower level has a king bedroom and a queen bedroom, along with a family room with a large couch for an additional sleeping space if needed.

Relax by the fireplace in the main living area playing games or a puzzle. Watch a movie in the basement family room with smart Roku TV for all your streaming needs.

Kitchen is fully equipped with small appliances and cookware you can expect from home; two slow cookers, blender, toaster, Keurig or drip coffee (k cups provided), and microwave.

You'll find a propane grill and dining table on the deck looking out at the backyard toward the lake.

Backyard gradually leads you to the fire pit with chairs (firewood onsite for guest use included), kayaks and life jackets for guest use in the shed, sandy beach area, and dock off the shore during summer months.

Bonus space found in the garage with ping pong table, foosball, darts, and corn hole. A fun place to hang out all year round, rain or shine.

Wonderful time to refresh
We had a great stay in the woods enjoying plenty of space and family time. Overall very clean house, but the kitchen cabinets need some deep cleaning as well as the cooking pans. Games in the garage was fun, but could use some more ping pong balls ; ) Beautiful home and enjoyed hours in front of the cozy fire.

Pengilly Plus
My family and I had a wonderful stay with friends in this highly appointed cabin. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out but also large places where we could all gather. It was clean and we had no troubles with any of the amenities. The kayaks were a highly used, added bonus. I would recommend this cabin to everyone and especially to those with a larger group.

Great Private Family Getaway
The house was great for our large family with plenty of beds and bathrooms. Grandkids loved the game area in the garage, kayaks and beach. Small lake with little boat traffic and excellent fishing. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, pots and pans for our large group. We enjoyed the great deck and firepit area.

Beautiful home in the woods
We had a groups coming in for a funeral and were able to find this gem. This home is gorgeous and extremely well equipped to handle a family gathering. Chrissy was very prompt with any questions and very helpful. Being winter did not matter….there were plenty of activities inside the house and game room. Would highly recommend a stay here in any season!

Spacious Cabin for Large Groups
Very spacious cabin with plenty of space for our group of 13 people! Entertaining areas such as the kitchen and the upstairs living room had enough room for us to sit comfortably. The bonus space in the garage is where we spent most of our time and it was perfect for when the weather isn’t ideal. Eric and Chrissy were great to work with and always got back right away when we had questions regarding the cabin!

Much Needed Break!
Because of the pandemic, our family hasn't had an opportunity to get away and spend extended time together. Our stay here gave us just that: the lake and views were lovely, the accommodations were beautiful and clean, and we loved that it was secluded, but near enough to stores for last minute grocery runs. Thanks for providing a place for some much needed R&R!

About the host

Hosted by Chrissy Davison

Host profile image
We are husband and wife, best friends, and northern Minnesota enthusiasts. Northern Minnesota has always had a special place in our heart and we love being able to share it with you! The best part about hosting cabin rentals is providing a place for relaxation and family memories. We have a little family of our own and enjoy game nights, trying new things, and being outside by the water.

Why they chose this property

This property is the perfect place for the whole family to enjoy. Coming from a big family ourselves, we have always wanted to have a place that can fit a large group of people. The house itself is nestled on the end of a private road in the middle of thick forest on the edge of a quiet lake for boating, fishing and swimming.

What makes this property unique

Having the privacy of a cabin in the woods with your own sandy beach is the prize of what Minnesota has to offer!
