About this property

Beautiful Log Cabin on Remote Lake, with Limited Public Access.

Experience the solitude and beauty of the Boundary Waters with the comforts of home in this new log cabin on Winchester Lake.

Truly off the grid, this cabin offers a rustic experience with the convenience of refrigeration and power. The cabin is solar powered with automatic generator backup. With no phone or internet, you really 'get away' from technology distractions. The cabin offers one bedroom on the main floor, a large loft and two bedrooms on the lower level. The loft has two futon couches that can convert to beds for additional sleeping. There is a 3/4 bath on the main floor and a full bath in the lower level. Cabin offers a deck with gas grill and seating. Take in the evening sounds of nature as you warm by the campfire and roast a marshmallow or two. Firewood supplied.

On this remote Boundary Waters style lake we generally find ourselves the only ones on the lake. So that great fishing spot is always available. This lake is full of small mouth bass, you can barely get your pole in before there is a fish on your line. Over a five year range the DNR stocked this deep lake with over 15,000 lake trout. Other fish include northern pike, walleye, perch and sunfish. The lake offers limited boat access. A 14ft. fishing boat with motor and a Canoe are included with rental.

Up in the north woods, we regularly see eagles and loons while enjoying the lake. In the evening you may hear the hoot of an owl or a wolf howling at the moon. Moose, deer, bear, beavers, and other small critters find their homes around our property.

Whether a couple looking to get back to nature or a family looking to spend quality time, your time at Winchester Lake is sure to be memorable.

Another great October trip on Winchester Lake

Once again peak fall colors. We had our first frost at the beginning of the trip which really accelerated the color change. Hiked 4-5 miles every day grouse hunting with the dogs. Bounced around miles of trails in the side-by-side. Plenty of bonfires at sunset, it was warm most of our stay. We only fished off the dock not from the boat this trip. Cabin and property were immaculate as always!

Gorgeous Remote Property

Wow!! What a gorgeous remote property!! We absolutely LOVED it! The house was so nice and super clean! It had all the amenities you needed. Bedding was soft, beds were comfortable, beautiful view and property. We had a fire and fished almost every day. The paddle boat was super fun and the fishing was great. We were the only ones on the entire lake, like it was our own private lake! The owners were excellent and so great with communication and making sure we were taken care of. We highly recommend this place if you are looking to get away from everything, spend time in nature, and stay at a little piece of heaven. Thank you so much for sharing your property with us! We won't forget it :)

The Perfect Secluded Getaway

We absolutely loved our trip! This was our second time and it won’t be the last. The property is quiet and secluded. We saw a lot of wildlife and had a couple deer right out front. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Peaceful

This is our third time back and every single time has been wonderful. The location is beautiful, the cabin has everything we need and the lake is peaceful. We love just hanging out at the cabin / lake all day and on rainy days, there is so much to do in the surrounding area. We always see so much wildlife too, including a mink crossing the road near the cabin this trip!

Another Awesome Winchester Adventure in October!

14-days total. Peak fall colors. Good grouse hunting, fishing, hiking, and exploring. Miles of logging and fire roads to explore on wheelers. As always the cabin is immaculate and constantly improving. We saw our first ever Great Horned Owl on this trip, up close, amazing 10 minutes of wonderment.

Best Place to Stay up North!

A perfect stay once again! This was our 5th time here. We do a lot of adventuring with our two boys and have used VRBO for many years. Dave’s cabin is absolutely our favorite place to stay. If you love nature and peace this is exactly where you want to be! Dave is very accommodating and wonderful to work with. We cherish our time with our boys on Winchester Lake. It truly is one of our favorite places on Earth! Cabin is stocked, plenty of life jackets, great swim platform, nice dock, perfect little fishing boat, and most importantly beautiful scenery everywhere you turn! The night sky is amazing as the cabin is quite close to Voyaguers National Park which is an internationally recognized dark sky park! Highly recommend!!

Cabin Stay

We had an excellent week at Dave’s cabin. The property was quiet and peaceful and the cabin was clean and very comfortable. Very well stocked with supplies. We enjoying using the boat on the lake where we saw no one else the entire week. Caught a lot of smallmouth bass and enjoyed the scenery on the peaceful lake. Would definitely recommend the cabin to anyone.

Relaxing Getaway

How to even start, this home was by far one of the most unique and beautiful homes that I have stayed in. There was so much detail provided into this house, and i love the location. You have lake front access, and absolute seclusion. If you’re looking for a getaway from the city life, this is the place. The still sound of nature and the starry nights are worth it. Not a lot of people appreciate the little things in life and I feel this home captured that essence. You have natural well water in the home and efficient appliances, and plenty of beds to sleep in. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home, it will be an unforgettable experience.

Amazing cabin, great place to unplug!

Cabin was perfect for getting away from it all. Very secluded and away from neighbors, we were the only ones on the lake. Our kids swam, jumped off the dock and swim platform all day. Fishing was great, caught loads of fish. The included fishing boat and paddle boat were also a hit. The cabin is clean, well stocked including board games. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and playing games every night. Kids loved sleeping in the loft. Our family had a great time and didn't want to leave.

Absolute Paradise!

Winchester cabin never fails to deliver! This was our 4th visit. We absolutely love this spot more than any other trip we take each year. My husband and I, as well as our two teenaged sons, just truly love this place. The cabin is always perfectly prepared for guests and the surroundings are like nothing you will find elsewhere. All the comforts you could want while truly feeling out “in the middle of nowhere.” Pure peace and true relaxation. The loon watching and the sunsets seem to get better each visit too. So many loons! (Which are my favorite.) If you love nature and want to really truly get away from it all-this is it. So very grateful to the Lindroths for sharing their beautiful cabin with us once again. The memories we have made over the years here will stay with us forever.

Beautiful Cabin on the Lake

If you are looking to get away from it all, this is definitely a property for you. We were the only people on the lake during our stay and the only people we saw were the workers logging down the road. Approximately forty-five minutes to Orr, we visited Vince Shute Bear Sanctuary and also made trips north to Voyageurs. The cabin was clean and we enjoyed our evenings on the upstairs deck.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Lindroth

Host profile image
Dave and Deb Lindroth purchased the land in fall of 2003 with plans of building a log cabin. Three kids and two dogs later, we decided our camper was too small and we were ready to build that log cabin. Cabin was built in 2011.

Why they chose this property

We enjoyed camping in the Boundary Waters every summer and found this location to give the Boundary Waters experience combined with some comforts of home. We wanted a cabin where we weren't looking into the neighbor's window. On our 40 acre plot, with 1300 ft shoreline we have found that.

What makes this property unique

With the many distractions in life, we have found our cabin the place to get away and enjoy our family while experiencing the many
