Shell Lake is always the best

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin. We always appreciate a dog friendly property and boy did the dogs have fun! The road around the lake is great for walking and we enjoyed all the yard games too. The kitchen, linens, etc were all well-stocked, and the beds were comfortable. It was nice to have laundry as well. I didn’t need to communicate with the host as everything was as it should be and check in was easy.

Cute little cabin

The cabin was clean and had a well stocked kitchen with cooking utensils and accessories which made cooking easy. We enjoyed the games and the bin of beach toys which was a huge plus for us with little kids. Check in was very easy and Kate was very responsive to messages and answering our questions. Overall 5 stars, everything was as pictured except for the beach which was somewhat overgrown.

This cabin was so clean, well kept and very comfortable. It is well stocked with kitchen supplies, paper products, and towels. It was so pleasant not to have to pack all those additional items. The property was wonderful was so peaceful and had a beautiful view of the lake. The lake, however, was so reedy that we were not able to go in the water. That was a bit disappointing.

Relaxing lake front getaway

We spent 3 nights at Kate’s cabin. My husband, 5 year old and myself. The cabin is great, it has everything you coukd need, well stocked kitchen, lots of pillows, blankets, towels. We had some rain move through a couple of times so it was nice to have a smart tv, dvds and games in the cabin. The yard is huge and level making it perfect for yard games. The small little beach area was shallow/sandy and worked nice for our 5 year old, kind of weedy as you get further out but still good for floating the day away in tubes/kayaks. Our kiddo had a blast chasing after all of the little fish by the dock. We enjoyed our stay, we didn’t have to touch base with Kate other than at check-out which is a testament to how well she runs her rental! Check-in was a breeze. We would love to come stay again some time in the future.

Fantastic private fishing gem

A comfortable, clean, and private space. The lake access was the bonus of this rental. Shell Lake was peaceful and offered lots of great fishing. My teens were in a battle for most fish. The town was close with lots of eating options. Swimming was best at the public beach less than 2 miles away. The rental also had paddle boards, volleyball net, disc golf, and horseshoes. The family also enjoyed the indoor games. We highly recommend this place.

Up North Get away

Had a great weekend staying at this cabin in Shell Lake!! We were in the area to cheer our son on at the 49th annual Berkie cross country ski race! Cabin is comfortable, well stocked and clean. Have visited 2x both in the winter, beautiful sunrise over the lake! I bet Lake views in the summer months are awesome!

Great location

My husband and I rented this cabin for a short ice fishing trip. It was in a great location for where we wanted to be on the lake. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The mud room was very convenient for our ice fishing clothes. We had a trailer with a 4-wheeler on it so the large parking area that was plowed was really nice to have. Also being right next to the public boat landing was great for getting the 4-wheeler out in the lake. The cabin is decorated with puzzles that have been completed by the family o er the years. I really loved seeing that.

Wonderful Lake House that is wheelchair accessible!!

We had a wonderful vacation even though halfway through our stay we lost Wifi and TV. Kate responded very fast and tried everything she could to get it fixed for us but they couldn't send out a technician to fix the issue until after our stay was over. Kate was kind enough to give us a partial refund for the inconvenience of not having internet or TV. But the house has everything you need and we brought some movies and luckily they had a DVD player. Games and puzzles, fishing. We had a wonderful time!! It was so wonderful to stay at a place that had no stairs since I'm in a wheelchair and could easily maneuver through the house and outside. Will definitely come back!! Kate was a wonderful host!!

Excellent for family

We had such a great time at this cabin. We have three kids (7, 5 and 2) and it was a wonderful setup. The kids loved the bunk beds. Love the open concept and space to hang out inside when we were eating/relaxing. The smart tv and Wi-Fi were nice for us as parents so kids could still watch cartoons and such when we needed them to take a break. The beach area and shallow water was awesome for our young kids. My oldest loved the fishing right off the doc! There is also a ton of privacy on the lot. Super quiet, lots of wildlife and very nice setting. Only 5 mins into town for ice cream and the public beach and park. Only 2 min from Potters Shed for coffee. We’ve already booked for next year. Thanks Kate!

Great Lakeside Retreat

Our out of state son was flying in with buddies to ski the Birkie. This cabin’s location allowed us to cheer him as he started, cheer mid point, return to the cabin to let our dog out and be at the finish in Hayward to see him!! Well stocked clean cabin with everything we needed. Sunrises over the lake we’re absolutely stunning!!

About the host

Hosted by Kate

My family and I enjoyed renting a cabin every year...and we finally took the plunge and purchased one of our own! This beautiful handicap accessible cabin was built in 1995. It is on a 1 acre lot with no neighbors on either side-very private and a wild life preserve a stone's throw away! We enjoy making sand castles, sitting in floaties with our favorite beverage, taking the pontoon to town for dinner and fishing, fishing, fishing!

We decided to rent our cabin out during the times that we are not able to be there. We hope you enjoy your time on Shell Lake as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the sandy beach and flat 1 acre lot. We also enjoy being less than a 5 minute drive or 10 minute boat ride to town...but with no next door neighbors! We like that the cabin is less than 2 hours from the Twin Cities!

What makes this property unique

Our cabin on Shell Lake is unique in that it is handicap accessible on a flat lot with a dock and sandy, shallow beach. We have a resident loon family and I see at least 5 eagles every single time I am there. We also have a resident deer that enjoys our beach!
