Cabin

I loved the property! It's Northern MN so expect skeeters and flies if you come in summer like I did. Owner was super responsive, the cabin was well laid out, and the grounds were peaceful and private.

Fun time.

Rain and mosquitoes still had a lot of fun. I might try booking for fall for leaf viewing and also maybe for winter.

Trip on a budget

We took a trip to this location late May and the property was beautiful and my kids got to go WILD!!!! My only complaint is that with all the rain there were a lot of mosquitoes. This was a perfect trip since we were balling on a budget!! There was a lot more to do then expected!!

About the host

Hosted by Karen G

Host profile image
As hosts, we enjoy this property to gain access to Long Lake for fishing and kayaking. The peninsula which divides the west end of the lake is fun to paddle around spotting wildlife such as turtles, beavers, deer, bald eagles, and many varieties of waterfowl and birds.

Why they chose this property

Medium density woods surround this property, beautiful sunsets can be seen over the lake year-round. Secluded, but less than 20 minutes to Eveleth, MN.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is secluded and private as the last property located at the west end of the bay on West Bay Road. Once on-site, you cannot see the neighboring properties.
